Clients

Initiate is the leading sales recruiter for the technology sector. We are currently representing sales and account management opportunities with many of the most dynamic, fast-growing companies in the UK.

Each week we interview around sixty new candidates in our offices in London and Manchester. These are all people who either work in, or want to work in technology sales.

We recruit exclusively for business-to-business professional sales roles.

If you are looking to grow your sales team then call. You can speak to a qualified consultant straight away. We will want to get an idea about what sort of role you are looking to fill and what kind of experience are looking for. If we think we can help you we will propose a meeting at your offices to discuss your requirements in more detail.

How we work with you

We meet all of the clients that we represent. We want to be sure that we don't waste your time by sending you the wrong candidates, or that they turn up badly prepared. When we meet you we'll spend up to an hour finding out much more detail about the role you’re looking to fill and about your business. Then we'll most likely tell you about some specific candidates that meet your requirements; we'll run through their profiles in detail - we’ve met them already and know just what they’re looking for - and arrange interviews if appropriate.

If the candidates that we’ve brought with us don't meet your exact requirements our work starts back in our office. Our teams of consultants spend all their time sourcing and qualifying top performing sales professionals in your marketplace. We interview on average 60 candidates per week in our offices. We also have exclusive access to our own database of 45000 sales professionals, which has been refined over the last seven years. Over half of the jobs that we fill are with candidates from this unique source.

We work in specialist teams to ensure that the consultant you work with understands the profile of candidate you are looking for. Our main division, Initiate sales recruitment has teams of consultants specialised by market sector. These consultants have a detailed understanding about the candidates in their respective vertical markets. This division is augmented by two further specialist teams; Initiate fast-track dealing with entry level telesales and telemarketing candidates; and Initiate Executive specialising in sales managers and sales directors. This strategy ensures that you get the best candidate in the shortest timescales, and means that we can deliver to your requirements without cutting corners.

It doesn't stop there though - we recognise that the best sales people might not be the best interviewees - it might be that they only have to do a handful of job interviews in their career. So to give them the best chance of success we will meet them immediately before their interview with you for a preparation session. We make sure that they understand everything about your company and the role, so that they don’t waste your time by turning up badly prepared.

A different approach

All this is part of what makes Initiate a little different from some of the other recruitment agencies you might have dealt with before.

Oh and by the way, we don't employ pushy salesmen, sharks or wide boys to push you into meeting candidates you don't want to meet. We only hire friendly, customer focussed professionals who love to do a great job. Our success is your success, and our only interest is in finding you the right next hire. Call now.

Initiate sales. Kick start your business.

What our clients say

"My experience of sales recruitment companies are hard-selling Account Managers with no concept of what I am looking for and no wish to understand. Their quick turn-over usually leaves me regularly frustrated. With Initiate I felt that Emma made sure she understood my needs, sent me excellent candidates and as a result made a placement with us very quickly. I did not receive constant calls trying to sell me unsuitable people, when I rejected people she accepted this without forcing the candidate on me and most of all I felt she had always listened and comprehended. I will definitely be using Initiate again, and look forward to building a long term relationship with them."

"Elliot proved invaluable in the search for people at this embryonic stage of our growth, he managed to cut our recruitment time from 10 weeks to 3. He was efficient and timely in contact and was always willing to go the extra mile. I would recommend Elliot and the whole team at Initiate to any organization keen to find exceptional sales people within a short time frame."

"Initiate has provided an excellent service: producing high calibre candidates, and responding to our every need. Emma has proven that the recruitment process can be made easy, and need not be time consuming and intrusive. She communicated with me on daily basis, but was sensitive to our company policies and current working environment. Her professionalism is outstanding, and she is a real asset to Initiate."

"Initiate demonstrated considerable knowledge of our marketplace and delivered high quality relevant candidates. They sent through a small amount of appropriate candidates, reducing the time management needed to spend filtering people."

"I found Initiate's approach to my hiring requirements to be very professional and included a constructive on-site visit. All CVs received were of interest with each candidate worthy of interview where the ideal candidate was selected from a shortlist that comprised exclusively of candidates put forward by Initiate."
