Henderson Drake is an international executive contingent recruitment firm, established in 2013. It specialises in EPM and ERP talent, for clients ranging from global consultancies and investment banks to SMEs and start-ups, across North America, EMEA and APAC.
The business was growing and hiring. It needed new consultants productive faster, and wanted everyone approaching the market in one consistent way.
James started by getting to know the business and meeting the people. With Managing Director Charles Le Versha, he then mapped out a tailored accreditation programme for how Henderson Drake’s consultants engage with the market. The training was interactive and done on the job, drawn from real desk experience rather than theory.
Henderson Drake now has a training scheme of its own, built from the bottom up, and every new consultant goes through the accreditation. Consultants who took part showed immediate results in their performance.
“James took the time to understand our business, meet the people, assist in mapping out a tailored accreditation programme for Consultant engagement with the market and delivered top class interactive, on the job training. Throughout this process, he has helped the business establish our training scheme from the bottom up with all Consultants who have participated feeding back on thoroughly enjoyable sessions and showing immediate results in their performance. An excellent trainer and someone my business is proud to partner with.”
Charles Le Versha, Managing Director, Henderson Drake
“James is an excellent mentor and trainer who uses traditional and effective training methodology, however his training material is drawn mostly from experience rather than theory, which we have found invaluable in the development of our team.”
Fred Hipkiss, Operations Director, Henderson Drake
“James took the time to carefully tailor his programme to my needs and kept me on my toes with new approaches to adopt into my recruitment repertoire. I now understand why James’ training is a must for anyone joining our firm and would recommend his courses to even the most seasoned of recruitment professionals.”
