1 2THE CHALLENGE

Bytes Software Services were looking to rapidly grow their sales

team by recruiting 12 news starters as they prepared to move to new

offices in early 2014. Bytes wanted all 12 to start at the same time to create an internal academy that would be beneficial for both the

new employees and Bytes.

By taking on 12 in one batch, Bytes would be able to reduce recruitment and training costs as well as hugely reduce the time taken for the new starters to return their investment

in them. The Academy would bring added benefits of the new

employees being able to develop and support each other.

Following an extensive and detailed tender process, Bytes decided to

partner with Raw Talent Academy.

Garret Kirwan, Bytes’s Academy Manager and Sales Trainer

explained Bytes plans saying; “In 2014 Bytes Software Services

set up an Academy of 12 hungry and motivated new starters to create a breeding ground of excellence to prepare our new staff to become Account Managers of the future.”

THE SOLUTIONRaw Talent Academy tailored their Recruitment Process to ensure they would attract the best

candidates available. By undertaking a detailed profiling of Bytes, Raw Talent Academy were able to identify the ideal candidates and adjusted their sourcing process so that only candidates with the identified competencies and ability were invited

to an Audition Day.

Following the Audition Day - that saw Raw Talent Academy source the top 28 candidates from the

local area - Kirwan stated; “After a long and intensive recruitment process where the candidates completed

a rigorous set of individual tasks, team tasks, role plays and panel based interviews, the 12 successful applicants formally joined Bytes just in time to start

their careers in our new offices in Leatherhead.

“Their reward for this was a 9-week intensive training program where the team got to learn the

core Bytes proposition, meet key stakeholders, business mentors, their planned pathway to

graduation, meeting our key software partners and spending time calling out to our customer base on

various areas of the greater proposition.

“Each Academy member is partnered internally with a highly experienced Account Manager who assists with progressing opportunities and their

learning and development.”

3THE RESULT

Now in their 4th month, the Academy generate:

■ 600 outbound sales calls per day■ Approximately 25-35 new business

appointments per week■ Actively working on a team pipeline of 250+ sales opportunities worth over

£650,000

THIS WAS GENERATED WITHIN 10 WEEKS

OF BEING OPERATIONAL!
