The Client
A leading global supplier of intralogistics and material handling solutions, seeking to optimize the supply chain for warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing operations worldwide.
The Challenge:
Following a company restructure, the business required a candidate for a newly created Sales Manager for their West Coast area. With existing sales coverage across the East Coast and central US, they’d identified an opportunity to capitalize from unrealized potential across the region.
The client required a candidate with proven experience selling intralogistics solutions as well as previous experience covering the geographical area for the role.
The Solution:
The specialist manufacturing practice at Gillespie Manners undertook comprehensive research to identify a shortlist of pre-qualified candidates, before carrying out a headhunting search based on a unique project management methodology. Ultimately, a successful candidate was placed in just 10 weeks, ready to hit the ground and begin generating opportunities in the new territory.
Feedback:
“Conor at Gillespie Manners was an incredible partner to have in what could have been a stressful journey in finding the right candidate for a brand-new sales position. Conor’s consistent communication, knowledge of our business and the candidates, and his desire to be part of the process made it possible for us to focus specifically on getting the right talent in for the position. I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with him and Gillespie Manners and hope for a sustained partnership in the future.”
