MEET THE G2V DIRECTORS
g2 CEO

Following onwards James provided the
overall multi brand strategy of the business
and created the G2V group. He is responsible
for the group structure and also the strategy
of growth into the international
marketplaces, which has included the

2014
I was looking for an opportunity after running my
own business for a couple of years where I could
progress quickly and earn good money in a short
space of time. After grafting very hard for a small
wage, I learnt a lot of skills and built the work ethic
that I thought may suit the recruitment industry.
There are very few opportunities like recruitment
where you can work your way up the career ladder so
quickly.
Also, G2V’s reputation and level of success was very
appealing. The sustained growth that had been
achieved before my time at g2 made me feel confident
that I could become a success if given the opportunity
and help the company continue to grow.
CASE STUDIES
14
Why did you get into recruitment?
The biggest attraction for me was the opportunity
to run my own office or brand and the rewards that
come with it.
TIM PEREIRATim has been with the company since 2009. He is Senior Sales Manager at g2 Recruitment.
What attracted you to G2V?
What do you think makes asuccessful recruiter?
Without a doubt a strong work ethic is absolutely
essential to get anywhere in this industry . Knowing
how to take knock backs is key; this happens
throughout any recruiter’s career whether as a
consultant or manager and you need to be able to
brush yourself down when things go wrong and not
feel sorry for yourself.
From here due to the experience I had gained in
management my career took off. I became Sales
Manager just 4 months afterwards and Senior Sales
Manager earlier this year (just over a year after my
previous promotion.)
I had a very slow start to my recruitment career.
Although I did do a deal in my 2nd month, it was not
until my 11th month that I did more than 1 deal in a
month. This was a difficult period in my career at g2,
but made becoming a success even more rewarding. I
was then made a Senior Consultant within 2 years
from starting and promoted to Team Leader around
2.5 years later.
I feel that candidates with a bit of entrepreneurial
flair often have the competencies to think outside of
the box, have a business brain and an ethos that
helps them to become a success. It is the background
that I personally have and I have utilised these skills
to help me achieve what I have at g2.
15
Definitely seeing consultants develop from knowing
nothing about recruitment to managing their own
staff. It is amazing how much someone can change
and develop in a short space of time. The lunches,
holidays and money are obviously good, but the
career progression to Senior Sales Manager and
hopefully further has been extremely rewarding
and satisfying. Without the way the company grows
organically I doubt this would have been possible
in the timeframe I have achieved it in.
What is your favourite part about working for G2V? During my first 12 months in recruitment
I struggled as a consultant. I witnessed people start
after me and do much better than me from the off.
Only doing one deal a month resulted in me not
hitting many targets or incentives for my first year.
However, this did change drastically after 12 months
and my figures as a consultant were consistently good
from then on.
Secondly, my first 18 months of management were
also difficult. Again, I was learning all of the time, but
in this circumstance on the best way to manage
different personalities, how to hire the right staff and
how to keep people motivated along with numerous
other management skills. I made a number of
mistakes that now I am trying to make sure my
managers avoid in their fledgling management
careers.
What have you found the mostchallenging part of the job?
How quickly did youprogress in your career?
Without a doubt a strong work ethic is absolutely
essential to get anywhere in this industry . Knowing
how to take knock backs is key; this happens
throughout any recruiter’s career whether as a
consultant or manager and you need to be able to
brush yourself down when things go wrong and not
feel sorry for yourself.
What advice would you give to anyone looking start a career at G2V?
First and foremost I expect candidates to actually
prepare for an interview thoroughly. We have a
comprehensive website and there is no excuse in not
being fully informed about g2 and its Senior
Management and Directors. It is amazing how many
people actually do a half hearted job and this is not the
kind of dedication in someone we are looking for.
To be a successful recruiter you must have a very
strong work ethic, be able to keep your spirits up when
deals fall through, as well as work hard to get things
back on track when things are going badly. Successful
recruiters will be constantly self developing and not
just relying on other people for information and
answers; this helps them stand out from the crowd.
Ultimately I want to achieve Directorship at g2
Recruitment. In the meantime I wish to build a successful
permanent division which I have been developing since
the back end of 2014 – it has already started to show
promising signs.
Along with this I plan to help my more senior staff to hit
their own management goals and help them build their
own individual teams in 2015.
What are your G2V career aspirations?
16
It is amazing how much someone can change and develop
in a short spaceof time.
17
To be honest I was speaking to recruitment
companies about various graduate schemes and they
asked if I had looked in to joining recruitment. I looked
into what recruitment could offer and the rapid career
progression and superb earning potential were of
great appeal.
Why did you get into recruitment?
I met with Charlie when the company was very
small, only 4 people, and we discussed the future
growth plans and what I could be a part of should I
choose Vivid Resourcing - I was blown away by
Charlie’s desire, motivation and expectation of
those he hired.
JAMES MCNULTYJames has been with the company since 2010. He is Senior Sales Managerat Vivid Resourcing.
What attracted you to G2V?
Resilience is so important in recruitment, you need to
understand that the opportunity to earn £100k+ doesn’t
happen overnight and it certainly isn’t a smooth ride! I
also think you need to be self-critical and be able to
analyse your own performance and look to improve it at
all times. The best consultants I have managed will never
blame anyone other than themselves and they will
ensure they are constantly improving even when they
are earning six figure salaries. Above all you have to be
hard working. There is no one size fits all consultant in
recruitment - everyone has different strengths and
weaknesses . The one trait all the top consultants here at
Vivid possess is a strong work ethic.
What do you think makes asuccessful recruiter?
The financial rewards here are excellent, I have
been fortunate enough to pay off my student loan
within three years of completing university and have
also bought two properties that I rent out. I also enjoy
the social aspect of the job; it’s a real work hard play
hard environment. There will always be a group of
consultants going to the pub after work and there is
always a team night out to look forward to!
I have hit a number of holiday targets whilst working
at Vivid and have been lucky enough to be taken to
places like Ibiza, Iceland and Marbella to name a few
- these are always 5 star luxury trips and all paid for
by the company.
What is your favourite part aboutworking for G2V?
I was a Senior Consultant mentoring some
graduates within two years at Vivid, promoted to
Team Leader within two and a half years and a Sales
Manager responsible for a team of more than 10
consultants six months after this.
I was promoted to Senior Sales Manager in my fourth
year in the job and this meant an excellent salary and
exceptional share options.
How quickly did you progressin your career?
As a manager I found managing different
characters challenging at first. It is vital you adapt
your management style to suit the people you are
managing - if you don’t do this you won’t get them to
reach their full potential and in a way you will have
failed them. However I did receive excellent support
from my directors and the managers at a similar level
to me, subsequently I quickly managed to change the
way I managed certain individuals, this allowed the
graduates who joined my team to excel. Now many
of them are managing teams themselves!
What have you found the most challenging part of the job?
Prepare yourself for a real challenge, but if you
work hard and listen to those consultants and
managers around you the rewards will be brilliant. I
really believe you will struggle to find a career that
can offer a graduate what recruitment can.
What advice would you give to anyone looking start a career at G2V?
I hope to progress to a Director in the next few
years and then potentially look to set up my own
brand under the G2V umbrella.
