OGD ICT

From 0 to 2 accountmanagers within 5 weeks, here is how.

Client Overview: OGD ict-diensten
OGD is a leading IT services company that helps organizations maximize their IT potential through smart, reliable, and practical solutions. From service desks and system management to software development and data science, OGD delivers value across the IT spectrum. To boost their commercial performance, they needed strong account managers who could hit the ground running.

The Challenge: Attracting Enough Qualified Candidates for Sales Roles
OGD wanted to hire new account managers but faced several challenges:
🚨 Too few high-quality applicants via their own job channels.
🚨 Difficulty finding candidates with the right mix of commercial drive and IT affinity.
🚨 No prior experience working with external recruiters – this was their first time outsourcing recruitment.

They needed a recruitment partner who would truly understand their business and proactively bring in the right people.

The Solution: A Targeted, Proactive Sales Recruitment Strategy
We implemented a tailored strategy to help OGD attract the right commercial talent fast. Our approach included:
✅ Proactive sourcing of sales professionals with relevant IT experience – not waiting, but actively engaging.
✅ Bringing OGD’s story to life – by investing time in understanding their culture, mission, and team.
✅ Being selective in who we introduced – only presenting candidates with the right DNA for OGD.

This approach delivered immediate results and laid the foundation for a successful partnership.

The Results: 2 Account Managers Hired Within 5 Weeks
🚀 2 strong account managers placed within 5 weeks.
🚀 A smoother candidate experience – applicants arrived well-informed and motivated.
🚀 First-time recruitment outsourcing = a clear success.

Client Testimonial
"Working with Narek has been an absolute pleasure. This was our first time using an external recruitment partner, and it was a direct hit! We added two top performers to our team thanks to LayerOne’s efforts.
What sets Narek apart is his genuine curiosity about our company. He takes the time to really understand who we are so he can convey the right feeling to candidates – even though he doesn’t work here himself. That’s unique. Plus, he’s just a great guy to collaborate with.
I especially appreciate Narek’s honesty and transparency. It feels like a true partnership, not a rushed process focused on sending over CVs and cashing in. He’s critical about who he recommends and puts real time and energy into every candidate.
As a sales manager, I highly recommend LayerOne if you’re looking for top commercial talent. They’ve raised the bar – even our in-house recruiters are impressed!"
