Completed Assignment – Industrial Capital Equipment

Another fine example of how recruitment can run smoothly if you choose our Executive Search service. This particular project was quickly completed successfully within just a few weeks of starting the assignment. Approached at the start of December 2022 by a leader in Specialist Capital Equipment for the Waste Industry to find them a UK & Ireland Sales Manager, by the middle of December we had four excellent candidates interviewed and second interviews set up for the Start of January 2023. the company made an offer to their preferred choice who was able to start at the end of January. So yet another company benefitted from the fact that Aarca is boutique style and only works on a small number of projects (usually one) at a time until completion – that dedicated focus we provide really gets the best result in a prompt manner.

Sometimes small is beautiful, so instead of being just one in a pool of gradually increasing hundreds of clients with a large agency, come and speak to us, where you are always our top priority.

Use a Specialist In Technical Sales Recruitment

If you currently have a technical sales vacancy, why would you rely on a general recruiter, or even a generic sales recruitment agency? Technical sales roles require a specialist in the sector, that is why you should trust our specialists to fill the role for you.

Specialisation
Our focus is purely on Engineering and Industrial Sales and Management Roles, so we have years of experience dealing in these sectors and a good understanding of the technologies and disciplines that are required to fill the role quickly and efficiently.

Personalised Service
Because we are a small “Boutique” style operation this ensures you get the dedicated focus on your project that just isn’t possible for larger agencies to provide. At Aarca we only work with one or two clients at a time so you are always our number one priority. Low numbers always ensures a better service for you.

Reputation
We have a solid track record of placing Technical Sales Staff, Senior Managers, and Engineers into roles since 2001. Many of our candidates have become Managers recruiting for themselves and have used us to build their teams as they have always remembered the experience and service they received.

Network
Personally I have a developed a network of clients and candidates dating back over 20 years. This is something you simply cannot put a price on when needing someone who can reach out and find the most elusive but best suited candidates, with the highest chance of success in your sales role.

We look forward to hearing from you, please contact us to discuss any requirements you may have for new sales, engineering or management staff.

Benefits of using our Headhunting Service

As a seasoned headhunter I constantly watch the job market for people with specific and specialised technical sales skills. For your company, there are a more than a few advantages to working with myself as a headhunter:


1. Reduce the time and effort recruiting: Posting job openings and reviewing an influx of cv’s or résumés takes a lot of time and effort that you could be spending elsewhere. With myself headhunting for you, you receive a much more focussed batch of potential candidates, all of whom have been pre-qualified. Saving you time and money.

2. As a headhunter I can identify off-market candidates. I specialise in finding and carefully approach individuals who may not be presently on the job market but who would be an ideal fit for the vacancy. Why restrict yourself to candidates that are sending out CVs to a multitude of jobs when the real gems will only be aware of your opportunity if we approach them directly for you.

3. I only work with one or two clients at any one time. Due to the fact we are boutique in our approach and not a larger agency (nearly all of which are purely targeted at getting numbers of new vacancies signed up), your project stays as our top priority through to completion. You will not be pushed down the list as we get more and more new vacancies each day / week. The project will be completed in a very timely manner as a result.

So stop wasting time, effort and money and speak to me today regards developing and expanding your team, to ensure you are made aware of the best talent available in the marketplace by utilising our unmatched executive search capabilities.

Completed Assignment – Thermal Technology

Once again an Executive Search project was quickly completed successfully within just a few weeks of starting the assignment. Approached at the end of July by a European Specialist in Thermal Applications to find them a UK Sales Manager, by the middle of August we had three excellent candidates and the company made an offer to their preferred choice at the start of September. So yet another company benefitted from the fact that Aarca is boutique style and only works on a small number of projects (usually one) at a time until completion.

Sometimes small is beautiful, so instead of being just one in a pool of gradually increasing hundreds of clients with a large agency, come and speak to us, where you are always our top priority.

Completed Recruitment Assignment – Pump Industry

Another headhunting project completed successfully within just a few weeks of starting the assignment. Approached by a German company in the pump / waste-water / biogas sectors to find a UK Sales Engineer, the company benefitted from the fact that Aarca only works on a small number of projects at a time until completion.

This allowed us to quickly focus and unearth the right candidates without being distracted like most agencies by the need to get more vacancies on and split our time between projects and business development.

Sole focus meant we already had a candidate shortlist available after just a week or so of starting our search, and another happy International Client offering one of the candidates the position within a few weeks.
