Sales Consultant - Electroplating chemicals


Our client is an international group who have established themselves as a competent partner for brand owners as well as retailers in the chemical industry. For its chemical raw materials and products division we were entrusted to find a highly specialised business developer with the relevant background in the electroplating industry. Besides the specificity of the niche industry where we had to conduct the search, further  difficulty of this project came from a unique and unusual combination of skills required by our client: the ideal candidate had to be fluent in Hungarian, Romanian and English and he/she had to be located in a convenient geographical area so he/she could easily visit clients both in Romania and in Hungary.

Sales Consultant - Electroplating chemicals


Our client is an international group who have established themselves as a competent partner for brand owners as well as retailers in the chemical industry. For its chemical raw materials and products division we were entrusted to find a highly specialised business developer with the relevant background in the electroplating industry. Besides the specificity of the niche industry where we had to conduct the search, further  difficulty of this project came from a unique and unusual combination of skills required by our client: the ideal candidate had to be fluent in Hungarian, Romanian and English and he/she had to be located in a convenient geographical area so he/she could easily visit clients both in Romania and in Hungary.

Method

For attracting the most suitable candidates for this very interesting project, we have decided to use a mixture of methods. We prepared and posted an online job advertisement and searched in our internal and external databases. Furthermore we approached relevant professionals from our business network and asked for their recommendations. Also we prepared a target list of companies active in the galvanisation/electroplating industry through direct search and identified the individuals with relevant profiles for our project.

The search turned out to be very a challenging one, as we were targeting candidates from a geographically restrictive area and a niche sector who also needed to prove they could master sales and presentation techniques (under normal circumstances people working in such a technical sector tend to be more operational that sales oriented) as well as fluency in three languages.

Result

The channel that proved to be the most successful in this project was our professional business network – by asking for recommendations from select experts from this niche industry, we succeeded in identifying the best candidate for this role and filled the position according to our client’s needs.
