How ESP helped IFS

About IFS

Within their single platform, their industry specific products are innately connected to a single data model and use embedded digital innovation so that IFS’ customers can be their best when it really matters to their customers – at the Moment of Service.

The challenge

IFS were looking to appoint three senior software salespeople with base salaries in excess of £100k to sell enterprise-level solutions to major commercial companies in the UK & EMEA. In a market which is currently flooded with Tech Salespeople looking for new roles, it is more important for IFS to find top-level salespeople with a proven track record, and who would fit in culturally with the existing team.

The solution

As part of our retained and exclusive services, ESP consultants qualified candidates track record, targets, earnings (p60’s) as well as career ambitions and suitability for the role before submitting them for interview and placing 3 candidates. When niche market requirements come into play and different countries, the search becomes an even more difficult one. ESP were able to put forward a list of outstanding candidates manage a successful campaign in a relatively short timescale.

Testimonial

‘I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the support and patience that ESP have shown in the past months, working with us to support our growth journey in what are clearly unprecedented times. I continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the team across the board and I know that we will continue to be a good match – as the teams are professional, patient and above all listen to the guidance that we give, all of the while delivering strong candidates.’ VP of Sales, IFS
