They have offices in Brussels, Bangalore, Dublin, Dubai, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Gurgaon, Singapore, Uruguay and Argentina and operate in a variety of other locations.
The Challenge
Mobileum initially shared a brief with First Point Group for two Sales VPs for Latin America; one to be based in Mexico and one to be based in Brazil.
The first challenge we faced is that Mobileum were seeking a highly skilled Sales candidate with experience of their specific domain; Big Data and Analytics, this meant finding a candidate who not only had the requisite sales skills, but also had a technical understanding and also existing contacts with target clients.
One of the key challenges that First Point Group faced is that Big Data and Analytics is a huge growth market at the moment and as a result of this, potential candidates had a plethora of other opportunities presented to them by companies and other head-hunters as business from all over the world who were seeking to invest resource into these areas.
The Solution
The solution that First Point Group provided to Mobileum came in a few different stages. At first we presented Mobileum with a long list of target candidates who we had qualified against the job brief for both roles. The team at Mobileum then selected their preferred three candidates for both roles.
After a thorough interview & negotiation process the selected candidates were hired and have since become key members of the senior sales team at Mobileum Inc.
Since successfully providing a solution to the above challenges, we worked with Mobileum extensively throughout the globe, placing a further candidate in a similar high level sales role in Eastern Europe and have also supported them in the APAC region.
