Job Description

What does the company do and sell?

This business is a European software company offering a complete, integrated and flexible line of software solutions for the capturing and handling of documents within companies. Having formed over 24 years ago, the company has gone from strength to strength and is currently investing in a very ambitious development plan that focuses on two key directions: international growth and technology innovation.

Thanks to its unique know-how of shape and character recognition technologies, our client is the leader in the French document capture and processing market, and number 3 in Europe, with more than 600 clients and one billion documents processed every year.

The company is present in nearly all European countries, with offices in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, and has partners in Belgium, Luxemburg, Morocco, Spain and Switzerland. The UK offices and representatives cover 70% of the European market.

 Previous clients have included Renault, Lloyds TSB, Cadbury, Toys'R'us, and the BBC, so as you can see, the sectors are vast and the opportunity is endless.

The Role

This is a classic graduate development role where you will initially be office based with a solid progression structure through to a field sales role.  To start with you will focus on developing new business and maintaining solid relationships with existing clients.  Once you and your line manager feel the time is right, you will progress into the field, visiting clients, taking on new business, building your client base and developing your territory.

This is a fantastic company to join as they invest a huge amount of time and money in their people and their development, ensuring all employees receive the best training possible.  If successful you will be guided into areas of the business where you will thrive, and be continuously supported and encouraged giving you the best opportunities to succeed.

Person specification

Ideally we are looking for people with a technical background whether it be educational or work experience, however, ultimately their focus is finding the right person, so if you feel this is the right opportunity for you, no matter what your background please still apply.  If you have some sales experience that would be an advantage, but this is not essential.

As you will be internal to start with a driving licence is not essential, however, you need to secure your licence soon in order to progress to the field sales role. Also the office is not town centre based so you will need to be able to get to the office. The offices are based in Farnham, Surrey therefore you need to be no more than a 45 minute commute from the office.
