Season 7 | Ep 11 - The new leadership team at Vincere are answering my questions on what’s been happening since being acquired by The Access Group and why customers aren’t very happy!

The RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth Podcast

On this week's show, I’m speaking directly to our partner, Vincere.

Vincere has sponsored the RAG Podcast for the last three years, and I have a lot of love for the brand and a great relationship with the business. I’m really grateful for the support they've given me and our industry.

However, about a year ago, they were acquired by The Access Group which is the fastest-growing and largest software company in Europe. After they were acquired, the two founders, Bernie Schiemer and Eloise Sutton-Kirkby, exited almost immediately.

Since the acquisition by The Access Group, there has been murmurings across the industry, and their reputation has taken some damage.

So I interviewed Nick Thomson, the Commercial Director for The Access Group’s recruitment division. And Kristy Gilham, the Product Director at Vincere.

She’s been with Vincere pre and post-acquisition.

We had a really candid, hard-hitting conversation on your behalf. I asked them what the hell they've been doing and why there's so much negative press regarding support and functionality - and what they are going to do about it.

Are they actually going to make changes?

In this episode, we break down

🎙️ Some of the big ticket items they're working on

🎙️ The reasons why you felt some pain and

🎙️ What they're going to do about the issues brought forward

And, hopefully, you're going to not only learn about the product, but also build some form of connection with the two people who are going to be the face of the brand and are going to be able to help you get to the bottom of any issues you have.

This is the first in a series of conversations we're going to have with them.

I want you to listen, come back to us with your questions and challenges, and we'll have another conversation.

Over time, I want to make sure that we're holding them accountable to being the best operating system provider possible!

Hoxo Message

Are you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

Well, if you're the founder or leader of a recruitment agency, here's what we can do for you at Hoxo.

We will give you the training, support, and resources to take you from what I call an offline recruiter - reliant on posting jobs and sending emails to open up new customers, ultimately looking like every other recruiter on LinkedIn - to an online recruiter, being seen by over 25,000 relevant people driving a 200% minimum increase in engagement on your profile and seeing daily lead lists from LinkedIn that you can follow up within six weeks time.

And if you don't perform, you don't pay.

How can we make such a bold, results-driven promise like this? Two reasons:

1) Whilst I've been building the RAG podcast, we've actually done what we say we’ll do for our clients. In less than two years, we built a business generating from zero to over 1 million views per month on LinkedIn, leading to multimillion-pound revenues with a sales team of me plus two people without making a single outbound call.

2) Our track record - not only have we done it ourselves, but we've helped over 350 agencies and over 4,700 consultants do it as well, all in the last three years.

Now, if that sounds of interest to you, make sure you fill in our contact form, and we’ll tell you how we can help: https://bit.ly/3jpuEWa
