01 May 2007: V2 Communications, an outbound business-to-business lead generation telemarketing company, has appointed Andrew Beale as Head of its Recruitment Services Division.

Beale brings with him over 20 years of commercial sales experience. He was Head of Sales and CRM at Stuart Alexander Limited and Strategic Development Director at Careline Services Limited handling major accounts including BT, Tiscali and Centrica. Beale will spearhead a focused drive to grow V2ís recruitment division, this will focus primarily on mid -level recruitment sales positions of 25-40K basic.

The Recruitment Services Division was formed in 2006 to provide recruitment services to the IT and telco markets. The Division provides a perfect strategic fit to V2 Communicationsí core business which is outsourced lead generation telemarketing services.

Andrew Beale, Head of V2 Recruitment, comments, ìV2 Recruitment has a significant advantage over other recruitment agencies because it has a working knowledge of the IT sales market. I have spent many years managing face-to-face and telemarketing sales teams so I know what employers are looking for and can help candidates to present themselves in the best way to impress prospective employers.

Beale continues, ìAt the same time clients also know that candidates will have been validated before they are sent for interview. V2 Recruitment will only send high calibre applicants who I have personally interviewed and whom I am confident are of an appropriate quality. I guess I am ëpoacher turned recruitment consultantí.

V2 Communications already has an innovative approach to its recruitment running an IT, sales telemarketing ëinternshipí. The company helps driven, focused professionals to enter the IT sales profession following a 12-18 month employment telemarketing internship at V2 Communications. Once employees have completed this period they are actively encouraged to seek employment within V2ís client base. This is in contrast to many telemarketing companies who actually prevent their employees from being ëpoachedí.

Beale concludes, ìChurn in IT sales is part of the business and itís a good thing! We need ambitious, driven individuals in this industry looking to progress their careers. The V2 Communications internship is a fantastic scheme. Many people donít envisage a long term career in telemarketing but as a stepping stone to bigger and better things itís a great opportunity to build a CV. I am already finding opportunities for talented V2 Communications employees ready to make that next step. V2 Recruitment fits perfectly alongside V2 Communications and I am relishing the challenge of growing the business.î
