Help – Need to recruit, not sure where to look

default-16x9

I am looking to recruit someone (full time, paye) with an unusual combination of skills / experience and I was hoping someone could advise me on which job sites job boards I should place adverts or whether there is any other creative way to find what I am looking for. I find there is no lack of trainers with sales experience, but none seem to have much design experience as well.

The person I needs the following skillls/experience:

Sales/ Sales management trainer

Experience of designing sales training course and possibly elearning  (ideally some exposure to developing blended learning, including video scripting)

Sales / Sales management experience

Use to working with global businesses and tight dealines

15 years plus experience

I am looking to hear from L and D / training folk (not recruiters ...)

Thanks

Pete

  1. Linkedin

    Hi Pete

    What you are looking for doesn’t sound that specialist so I’m sure you will find the right person.

    If you have no budget for a specialist recruitment agency I would "hang around" Linkedin groups and post the message you posted on here. It’s quite a small world so shouldn’t take long to get what you want.

    Not sure why you don’t use a recruiter…you only pay if they send you what you want so absolutely nothing to be scared of. Lots of specialist training ones so they will be in a good position to help you quickly.

    Good luck

  2. Sales Trainer

    Hi Peter,

    I have seen this opportunity posted elsewhere. Whilst I fit the bill there is no way I would want to lose my independence at any price. I enjoy the variety and the challenges that working independently brings.
    The challenge as I see it for you is to find good sales trainers with real sales experience and the ability to design programmes. Any good ones are doing it for themselves  – and earning good money. However there are lots of sales trainers out there and I am sure there will be one who might be finding it tough going marketing themselves.
    LinkedIn would be a good place to start. Search on sales trainers. There would be a few good groups to approach too!
    There are a lot of trainers active on Twitter so that might also be a good place to put a shout out. I was directed to this post by some of my followers who thought I might be interested. If you are on Twitter let me know and I will put a shout out for you. @peterramsden

  3. Changeboard

    Hi Pete

    Changeboard is usually pretty good for L&D roles.  Alternatively if you have details or a link would be happy to circulate the spec to my contacts for you.

  4. Age discrimination

     Hi Pete

    I’d be a little wary of asking for 15 years experience. Unless you can objectively justify why you need that much experience you could be accused of age discrimination.

    I’m reminded of a comment I once heard when someone who was very anti-change said they had 20 years experience. The answer was you’ve had 1 years experience x 20 as you’ve not changed or learned anything new.
