Teesside eCommerce firm Visualsoft launches 60-strong recruitment drive

Teesside-based eCommerce firm Visualsoft has launched a recruitment drive to grow its headcount by an additional 60 staff.

The firm is initially advertising 37 sales focused roles to predominantly support the growth of its online marketing department, which already employs 53 people across its six marketing teams; Affiliates, CRO, Email, PPC, SEO and Social Media.

The investment in the recruitment campaign follows a period of deliberate consolidation in the company’s online marketing department, as it has worked to significantly enhance its offering with multiple senior appointments of leading industry experts.

Visualsoft employs 216 people across four offices and this year alone has welcomed 53 people into its growing family. It hopes to fill the new roles over the coming three months.

In addition to the online marketing sales specialists, Visualsoft is also searching for experienced business development managers to specifically focus on its Enterprise client portfolio and a number of executives to support its eCommerce platform sales.

Moreover, the company already has 14 posts advertised online across its platform, marketing and training teams, and there are nine new recruits joining the business in September.

Dean Benson, Chief Executive Officer, Visualsoft said: “Following a period of sustained growth across our online marketing teams we felt it was time to support the next wave with a serious investment in our sales team.

“Over the last twelve months we have made a series of strategic senior appointments in our Email, PPC, SEO and Social Media teams to ensure we had the best possible expertise within the business. Now we want to replicate this commitment in terms of dedicated sales support.

“While the economic climate remains challenging, especially in the North East, we are focused on investing in the region and this latest recruitment drive demonstrates this. It is an exciting time for Visualsoft as we embark upon the next stage of our journey.”
