Glasgow tech firm Synlata launches recruitment drive for 30 staff
Glasgow-based Synlata Group is looking to recruit up to 30 new employees before Christmas as demand grows for its technology sales and marketing services.
The company operates YourShortlist and Pursuit Marketing, two businesses providing outsourced sales development, lead generation and marketing services to technology companies in the UK and overseas.
The recruitment drive will add to Synlata’s existing Glasgow team of approximately 60 people, according to the company.
Synlata recruiting beyond traditional sales backgrounds
Synlata says applicants do not need previous experience in sales or technology. It is looking for people with strong communication skills, a willingness to learn and the ability to build relationships.
New recruits will receive training in technology markets, sales techniques and customer engagement.
Chief Executive Brian Williamson said:
“We’ve experienced significant growth across the Group and that means creating opportunities for more people to join us and build rewarding careers.”
The group is targeting an overall headcount of 100 within the next year, although this remains a company forecast.
Career changes bring new recruits into technology sales
Two existing employees illustrate the backgrounds Synlata is hoping to attract.
Adam Stewart, 38, from Robroyston, previously worked as a personal trainer before joining the business as a sales development representative. He has since progressed into a senior role.
Dylan Dempsey, 24, from Cumbernauld, joined Synlata after working in his family’s vehicle repair business.
Both were highlighted in the recruitment announcement as examples of employees who entered technology sales from unrelated industries.
