CD IT SALES RECRUITMENT CLIENT REFERENCES 2009 - 2010

 

To drive significant business growth in 2009/10, Computacenter had significant volumes of senior sales vacancies.  Having re-engineered our sales function, it was essential that we worked with a recruiter that understood our business and had the ability to short list candidates effectively, that would significantly raise the bar. CD have achieved this in more ways than one, working closely with both myself and my team they shortlisted candidates with relevant industry backgrounds, who had met or over-achieved their sales targets, and went on to make a variety of successful placements in the business.

 

When selecting a recruitment partner it is important that they understand both our Business requirements and the industry. I look for a knowledgeable single point of contact backed up by a team that understand and can deliver my message, thus attracting the right calibre of sales candidates to the business in a timely and informed manner.  CD Sales Recruitment have proven themselves capable and pro-actively go out to market and search out the talent we need to achieve our business goals. In terms of IT Services sales recruitment, CDSR know and understand our market and we would definitely recommend them.

“We had 2 urgent, high profile vacancies that were key to the growth of Splunk across EMEA.  Having used CD successfully in the past I trusted them to find me the candidates I needed and quickly.  They presented me with 2 strong shortlists in quick time and kicked our other suppliers into touch.  I am delighted with the 2 hires we have made and as we continue to grow next I know I can rely on CD to find me the individuals I need.”
 
Brian Haynes
VP EMEA
Splunk

“I am pleased to confirm that our recent Sales Growth Hiring project has now been completed and as you are aware we needed to fill the 13 Growth roles not only speedily but also to the high standards that Gartner set for their Sales Team. 

 

I would like to recognise the part CD Sales Recruitment played helping us complete this project ahead of schedule.  Overall I was very impressed by the understanding you have of our requirements and the quality of candidates that you provided.  I am pleased to report that the 3 candidates you placed have all settled in well and now creating strong revenue streams for the business.”

“I have worked with CDSR for 9  year - Not only did they place me in my role at Capita, but since my promotion within 6 months of joining, they have successfully delivered senior sales professionals from our space each time I’ve needed them. They know our industry and work hard to reference the strongest relevant sales professionals.  I would recommend them to any IT Services or Consultancy company looking for their next senior sales hire.”

Sopra has worked with CD for a number of years now and through this we have successfully placed Sales professionals and Managers within our Organisation.  I have worked closely with the team at CD and they have taken time to understand our brief and deliver against it.  I am grateful to CD for their continued efforts to find the best people for our roles

We have engaged many times with CD over the last 2 years and they have consistently proven that they can identify a very high calibre of IT Services sales person in the UK. We hire and attract only the very best and CD have rapidly delivered for me.  In my experience I have found CD Sales to be one of the few IT Services sales recruitment consultancies that I can trust to do the detailed work and deliver the right people. They have achieved this trust by repeated partnership on projects with great levels of success.

I have worked with CD sales for over 3 years. They understand our business and most importantly they take the time to understand our recruitment requirements and only present candidates that fit the brief.  I would recommend them to any business looking to recruit high calibre IT sales professionals.

                                                                           

 

 

 

 

"Historically I have used a number of specialist recruiters with varied success, however, I would like to thank you for convincing me to use you and CD exclusively.  The extra focus that you gave my assignment saved me a huge amount of time and resulted in a considerably more focussed service.  Not only did you source me a great candidate but the entire process was significantly more efficient as I only had to liaise with one company"

Tier 1 Software Vendor


"Personally I was doubtful about using a sole agency on an exclusive basis but this has proved to be the best recruitment decision I have made.  By eliminating multiple recruiters I have managed to create a true partner in what is sometimes a very lengthy and difficult process. The outcome was positive for all concerned and I would have no hesitation in using CD again on this basis."

US Start-Up


"I would like to thank the IT team at CD Sales Recruitment for the excellent service they have provided us.  Working with them and them alone has been a revelation!  The time saved has been considerable and the end result, undeniable. The relationship we have built has only grown since working in this way and the value you have added has been outstanding.  I would recommend working with CD alone on any vacancy they have"

Leading BI Organisation

 

“Our latest hire has probably been one of the most difficult campaigns of recent years, yet you found us a truly excellent candidate with ease.  I can’t see how you found it so easy where others have historically found it so hard, but on that basis we will only ever work exclusively with CD moving forward.  This approach that was new to us clearly allowed you to dedicate your time and attention to us and our needs resulting in an immediate success.  Within a week you had sourced 5 suitable candidates, 2 who made the final phase and one we have since taken on – thanks once again!”

“Ollie at CD Sales Recruitment didn’t waste time on competitive pitches, he simply listened carefully to my requirements and asked intelligent questions to uncover more detail for the role that I was in urgent need of filling. He supplied me with a first class candidate within one week who I quickly hired. I am now working with CD Sales Recruitment on additional roles and hires”

"I wanted to thank you for your all of your efforts over the last 6 months in helping me build a strong UK salesforce at our company. With personal and team targets to achieve it is vital to find a company that understands what I need quickly and who can deliver the calibre of individuals required immediately. You have achieved this in a very short space of time which has meant that the recruitment process has been short and successful rather than long and tiresome. It has been a pleasure dealing with such a professional organisation and long may it continue."

European VP of Sales, Start-up Systems Management Software Vendor



"The team at CD took the time to understand our requirements properly with the result that, without exception, every candidate they put forward was relevant. Remarkably, this included the candidates with an industry rather than pure IT background. As a result, during our last round of recruitment we filled both senior sales roles with candidates put forward by CD. They will be top of my list next time we recruit."

Sales Director, Start-up Logistics Software Vendor



"It was a refreshing change to find an agency who listened to our requirements and delivered what they promised. CD's attention to detail, shortlist of applicants and successful placement was testament to their professionalism. I have worked with a number of sales recruitment agencies in the past but find CD to be a true consultancy and will not hesitate to use them in the future." "I would like to thank the team at CD for all their help."

EMEA HR Director, Global Leading EAI Vendor



"I have worked with Brad, James and the team with my last three sales vacancies and on every occasion they have successfully delivered on my very demanding expectations. CD IT Sales recruitment will receive my first call next time I have a vacancy."

Leading European Development Tools Vendor



"We have worked with CD Sales Recruitment for a number of years now and have always found the high levels of service, industry knowledge and superb candidates a key factor in their success as a supplier of sales professionals to our company. We will have no hesitation in contacting CD the next time we need a consultancy to help us find top performers in the software industry."

Sales Manager, Global Leading GIS Software Vendor



"We have used CD for the recruitment of our sales personnel over the last 12 months. During this time we have found the principal consultants allocated to us to be highly efficient in, firstly, ensuring quality of understanding our precise requirements and, secondly, effectiveness with individuals who prove a close fit to this requirement bearing in mind the difficulty in finding and assessing quality sales staff. We cannot recommend CD more highly."

Joint MD, Start-up E-Procurement Organisation



"Anite have been very impressed with the high quality of candidates that are submitted. We have successfully recruited four members of our sales team through CD and look forward to continuing this mutually beneficial relationship."

EMEA Sales Manager, Award-winning Telco Software Vendor



"Having worked with many recruitment consultants over the years I have found CD Sales Recruitment to be the most responsive and focused company I have encountered. They take the time to understand our business and respect my time as an employer. Overall they have been a great help in our ever changing recruitment needs."

Vice President EMEA Operations, Leading Document Management Vendor



"Surprisingly, very few recruitment consultancies understand the qualities and attributes need in successful sales people. CD Sales have been instinctively good at separating the "wheat from the chaff", consistently presenting good quality applicants fir interview, without drowning you in CV's that fail to live up to expectation. They are a determined, pacy and dynamic team and it proves the point that good sales people can find good sales people, despite a continued applicant shortage in IT."

HR and Recruitment Manager, Network Integration Provider



"I would like to thanks CD Sales Recruitment for the excellent service they have continued to provide for us. They understood our requirements exactly and were able to provide us with candidates of outstanding quality. I look forward to working with you on all sales positions we have in the future. Keep up the good work!"

HR Director, Global Leading EAI Vendor



"On behalf of myself and Simon Young, thank you for helping us through the recruitment process and providing us with some great employees. In my 30 years within the industry you are the best IT Sales agency that I have come across and I am not surprised by the number of placements you have made here. There is a lack of big-ticket successful software salespeople in the market today but you seem to be able to tap into the market and source the best out there. We have always been spoilt for choice with the shortlists of candidates provided by you. Thank you for your efforts and your professionalism and I wish you every success in the future."

Sales Director, Start-up Asset Management Software Vendor



"To CD IT Sales Recruitment I have always found you to be a very professional organisation. You make a real effort to understand my requirements and the candidates you put in front of me are always well prepared and of high quality. We cannot afford to make mistakes on salespeople as we are still in many ways a start-up organisation so it has been great to find a recruitment company that I can trust with my diary. I appreciate all of your help and understanding and I look forward to recruiting more salespeople from you in the near future."

EMEA Sales Director, Leading Enterprise Software Vendor



"Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts in recruiting for Corechange over the last few months. I have used a number of agencies in the past who have wasted my time but you have clearly demonstrated an excellent understanding of my requirements and your ability to attract a constant stream of quality salespeople has impressed me greatly. Your continued success with us is fully deserved and I will continue to recommend you to colleagues within the industry as a great source for senior software salespeople. Once again, I appreciate your all your help and look forward to using you again in our next round of recruitment."

Sales Director, Award-winning Portal Software Vendor



"I found the staff at CD Sales recruitment to be heads above the rest of the marketplace. I had been searching for European Sales Managers for several months with limited results. It seems that although other recruiters where happy to talk about my requirements and offering, they could offer little in terms of candidates. Not only where the candidates limited, but even fewer were qualified. I was pointed towards CD Sales recruitment by one of my colleagues. I called them and outlined my requirements, to my pleasant surprise I had five interview candidates lined up within a few days. This was only part of it, when I actually interviewed the candidates, they were all professional, aware of what the opportunity involved and most importantly all people that I would hire! I chose our new sales manager and have been pleased with the results. When it comes to our next hire, I will be contacting CD Sales first!"

Global Leader in Financial Software



"Just a quick note to say how delighted we are with the candidates you have placed with us over the last month. I am confident that Tim and Toby will make a huge contribution to building our channel and alliance relationships and driving revenue from them. I have been impressed with your service with previous organisations and once again you have understood my requirements better than any other agency. Thank you again. I will be in contact with you in the near future to help me again."
