The job types that our clients are looking to recruit are business development managers, sales representatives, account managers and bid managers.
Companies that are recruiting are looking for sector-specific individuals. It is important to concentrate on the end user that the company is selling to. A large proportion of companies are focusing on the public sector in these challenging market conditions so therefore require individuals who have previously sold in to the NHS, education and MOD sectors for example.
A recommendation when applying for vacancies is to make sure your CV contains the most relevant information. Our clients look for the types of clients that you have sold in to, sales figures against targets and the methods in which you go to market with your product or service.
