Octopus Investments leading 200m finch and Asset Management Company
Transformed their sales team and now the exclusive sales recruiter
Before:
Relying on an internal recruitment team who were stretched super thin. Sales roles were never the priority and they struggled to find strong candidates. They dabbled with other recruiters but again, didn’t find any long term success.zAfter engaging with us, their sales team has been transformed
After:
We’ve made 18 hires over the last 4 years
Over 90% of our placements were made in under 25 days
95% of candidates stayed at least 18 months
Moved to an exclusivity agreement for all of their sales hires
Process:
Streamlined the internal recruitment process
Partnered with them - took the time to meet multiple people across their internal sales team
Quarterly check-ins and reviews
Used our extensive network to find passive candidates
Helped with junior sales hires - 5 x candidates found via a graduate assessment day
“At Octopus, we have a very high bar when it comes to our recruitment and Aaron has gone the extra mile to really get under the skin of what we look for, how our sales teams operate and the types of candidates who will be successful. I can’t recommend Aaron and DTR highly enough - they have consistently provided a superb service for us here at Octopus.”
Richard Vranch, Head of Internal Sales/Head of Performance Excellence at Octopus Investments
FinTech business in London looking to scale their sales team from scratch
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Before:
No internal recruitment team and very limited infrastructure
Their main challenge had been convincing candidates to join them. Candidates viewed the opportunity as a risk
After
We placed 2 candidates very quickly
Both candidates have remained with the business, one of them now moving to a team leader position.
We are now their exclusive sales recruiters as they grow and transform the Fintech space
Process
After meeting with their CEO and Sales Director, we saw a great opportunity to help them grow.
MDX product is market leading and a potential game changer in the low code/no code space. We helped to better position their offering and make the opportunity as appealing as possible
Sales Director hadn’t hired at the junior level before - set expectations around experience level and how to assess soft skills.
“During 2021, we decided to build our business development team, and started working with a number of recruitment agencies. We decided to use recruitment agencies as we have limited time, and really wanted expertise and support from specialists. I did find that some recruiters simply forwarded CV’s and the candidates were a long way away from what we required. Aaron spent his time listening and understanding the profile, mindset and character of the people we wanted to join the team, and now I only go to Aaron when we have new headcount. Aaron is exceptional at what his business offers, and helps save time and money by delivering every time. I could not recommend working with Aaron highly enough.”
Nigel Someck – CEO – MDX Technology
