Chairman - Wilcomatic

What was the initial assignment?

We were looking for a Sales Director with the potential to become successor to the current Managing Director. It’s a relatively small instructional group in a niche market, which meant we had to look outside the box at other sectors where skills are transferable. When we were defining the role, Louisa was the person that identified where we should search and what type of sectors people would come from, which were not sectors we had considered ourselves.

Do you think you got value for money?

Yes, certainly. We got value for money for the service provided in a previous role, to the point we decided to use Electi to recruit for this particular role.

How did you find the process and results?

I would describe the hiring process as transparent, diligent and no stone left uncovered. With constant communication and a great person to help guide you throughout the process. She is by far one if not the best SME within this field. She will not only find the right candidates, she will also remove all roadblocks and provide a great pathway for a seamless process.
