11. 1 2THE CHALLENGE
Bytes Software Services were
looking to rapidly grow their sales
team by recruiting 12 news starters
as they prepared to move to new
offices in early 2014. Bytes wanted
all 12 to start at the same time to
create an internal academy that
would be beneficial for both the
new employees and Bytes.
By taking on 12 in one batch, Bytes
would be able to reduce recruitment
and training costs as well as hugely
reduce the time taken for the new
starters to return their investment
in them. The Academy would
bring added benefits of the new
employees being able to develop
and support each other.
Following an extensive and detailed
tender process, Bytes decided to
partner with Raw Talent Academy.
Garret Kirwan, Bytes’s Academy
Manager and Sales Trainer
explained Bytes plans saying;
“In 2014 Bytes Software Services
set up an Academy of 12 hungry and
motivated new starters to create a
breeding ground of excellence to
prepare our new staff to become
Account Managers of the future.”
THE SOLUTION
Raw Talent Academy tailored their Recruitment
Process to ensure they would attract the best
candidates available. By undertaking a detailed
profiling of Bytes, Raw Talent Academy were able
to identify the ideal candidates and adjusted their
sourcing process so that only candidates with the
identified competencies and ability were invited
to an Audition Day.
Following the Audition Day - that saw Raw Talent
Academy source the top 28 candidates from the
local area - Kirwan stated; “After a long and intensive
recruitment process where the candidates completed
a rigorous set of individual tasks, team tasks, role
plays and panel based interviews, the 12 successful
applicants formally joined Bytes just in time to start
their careers in our new offices in Leatherhead.
“Their reward for this was a 9-week intensive
training program where the team got to learn the
core Bytes proposition, meet key stakeholders,
business mentors, their planned pathway to
graduation, meeting our key software partners and
spending time calling out to our customer base on
various areas of the greater proposition.
“Each Academy member is partnered internally
with a highly experienced Account Manager who
assists with progressing opportunities and their
learning and development.”

THE RESULT
Now in their 4th month,
the Academy generate:
■ 600 outbound sales calls per day
■ Approximately 25-35 new business
appointments per week
■ Actively working on a team pipeline
of 250+ sales opportunities worth over
£650,000
