Case studies
Alternative Networks
In April 2007, Alternative Networks Ltd, the leading UK business communications service provider, had an opening for a sales manager to look after a team of eleven sales executives in a new office. James Riley, National Sales Director at Alternative Networks, contacted Initiate Executive exclusively for help in filling the role. He was presented with two candidates within two weeks, leading to Ben Grant being hired in May 2007.
"Initiate Executive again proved that they have the network and the professionalism to fill the job"
James Riley, National Sales Director, Alternative Networks
James Riley explained: ‘Alternative Networks prides itself on the culture of our organisation. I was expecting that finding the right candidate, someone who fits in with our culture, was going to be a challenging process. Due to the understanding they have of our business Inititate took a lot of pain out of the process. Ben has strong sales management experience, a structured sales background with a good training and coaching skills coupled with the cultural fit that we needed. Initiate Executive again proved that they have the network and the professionalism to fill the job.’
