Hello Job seekers. We’re Red Commerce and we do SAP recruitment.
Now, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if you’d never heard of Red Commerce – to be honest, most of our staff had never heard of us before joining.
However you may have heard of SAP, and they are the reason we are advertising here.
At the end of the financial year 2010/11, SAP, the world’s fourth largest Software company, announced double-digit growth. That’s double digit growth after a recession.
At their AGM in May this year, SAP confirmed their 2011 forecast; operating profit in the range between 4.45 billion Euros and 4.65 billion Euros. Just to confirm, that’s over 4,000,000,000 Euros. That’s 9 zeros.
Put simply, SAP is huge. It’s also growing rapidly, and as SAP grows, we need to grow too.
So, before we tell you about the great opportunities we’re currently recruiting for, how about a bit of background on Red Commerce?
We are Europe’s leading dedicated SAP recruitment business and have more than 150 staff spread across 7 global offices. Like many recruitment companies, we offer our clients both permanent and contract recruitment services, although unlike any other we also offer a full SAP consultancy service through our RedSolution business.
In 2010/11, we turned over in excess of £60million, making placements into over 60 countries in the process, and treated our pool tables to some lovely new cloth.
That’s a pretty basic introduction, so if you think you need to know more then feel free to run a quick Interweb search for Red Commerce; on the first page, you’ll find a link to our website, news articles on our recent MBO, and plenty of information on our Best Companies status (we achieved a top-of-the-class 3 star rating in 2011, and ranked 39th in the Sunday Times list too).
And if you want even more Red Commerce goodness, you can check us out on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2307790&trk=hb_side_g (although we won’t let you join if you work for another recruitment company. Rules is rules) and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/redcommerce.
What do we need?
Nearly all of our Sales Consultants started out as trainees at Red and have worked their way up into sales positions through our industry-leading training and development programme, so it’s rare that we go into the market to hire experienced recruiters. However, we’ve recently promoted several people internally, and also relocated a few more to our other European offices, meaning that we are now looking for three experienced Sales Consultants for roles in our Piccadilly Circus HQ.
We are looking for people who share the same traits and ambitions as everyone else at Red Commerce, and we make no secret of the fact that we only want the best. And if you are the best, we’ll treat you like you’re the best. We’ll give you the training and support that you deserve, an awesome brand and customer proposition to take to your clients, and unrivalled earning potential. We’ll send you on ski trips, summer holidays and monthly lunch clubs, and we’ll make sure that you never want to leave. We’re pretty good at that too, which is why our retention rate is among the very best in the industry.
Now for the ‘You’ bit:
You will need to excel at getting stuff done, be super sharp, smart, market savvy and never want to stop learning. You will also be proactive, polished, hungry for success, and committed to doing what it takes to become a leading light in the recruitment industry.
You must have a minimum of a year’s recruitment sales experience, and proven success in winning and delivering to clients in your current role. You don’t need to be working in the SAP space at the moment, or even in IT recruitment; if you understand the methodology of recruitment and have the desire to succeed, we can cross-train you into SAP. A university degree is desirable, and if you happen to speak another language then we’d like to hear about that too.
So, do you want to be part of a success story? Do you think you have what it takes to join some of the recruitment industry’s highest earners and become a top biller yourself? And can you walk past a newly-clothed pool table without spilling a drink on it?
