"Next Ventures approached me about a VP & GM EMEA position within (Broadsoft), a VoIP technology start-up business. I was extremely impressed on how well they knew their client, understanding both the technology and the market opportunity. Their client understanding covered detail such as global headcount, company structure, funding and key investors, and cultural understanding of the management team.

Next Ventures were completely professional from the inception of the recruitment process, through to final salary negotiations. Darren and the team are now a truly valued partner of Broadsoft, assisting me to build out my EMEA sales and consulting capabilities." Craig Decker, VP & GM EMEA

Oracle (Communications Global Business Unit)

After a very successful recruitment relationship with Portal Software, where we recruited in excess of 30 employees, we re-engaged with Portal Software post their acquisition by the Oracle Corporation.

As a niche player in the OSS/BSS sector, Oracle needed the expertise of a specialist search organisation to assist on finding sales and technical talent across EMEA. Our relationship has gone from strength to strength.
