3. Next Ventures is a rapidly expanding business that has
its sights set on becoming ‘The Technology Staffing
Partner of choice’ to key industry corporations, global
and local systems integrators, consultancies, software
vendors and technology vendors around the globe.
Our service is truly global with 65% of our business outside of the UK.
What makes us so different?
Our priority: adding value to each and every one of our clients. How?
• By building trust and respect through a true
partnership approach.
• By offering flexibility and bespoke tailoring of our
recruitment services to seamlessly fit your needs.
• By finding complete candidates – those who do not
just have the talent and knowledge you need, but
who also culturally complement your organisation
and your existing team perfectly.
To provide a solid foundation for our partnership ethos,
each consultant at Next Ventures focuses on one
specific technology niche. This continuously expands
their understanding of that particular area and allows
them to offer you unrivalled specialist expertise,
informed anticipation of market trends and superior
networking advantage.
But we didn’t pick our team just for their knowledge;
we also demand that they are passionate, resourceful
and deeply committed to exceeding your delivery
expectations.
Sound good? Well, perhaps that’s why
we’re rapidly becoming known as ‘the technology
recruiter that’s guaranteed to deliver’!
“I have been working for more than a year with Next
Ventures, engaging SAP highly qualified resources. I really
appreciated our collaboration. Next Ventures has always
been able to provide us on-time the people we needed
even when we were looking for very difficult profiles…
sometimes I had the feeling I was their only customer when
you see how much they were focused on our requests. The
collaboration with Next Ventures is also very efficient: one
single point of contact in the company, supportive with the
administrative work, flexible, patient.”

7. Next Ventures has been
recognised for many awards in
its industry including year on year
inclusion in The Sunday Times Fast
Track 100 as one of the fastest
growing private companies in the UK. Next Ventures was also honoured
overall 2nd place in The Sunday Times ‘best small company to work for’
awards 2014, and was the highest ranking recruitment business in the UK.
The growth we have achieved means we are now in the privileged position of being the
first choice technology recruiter for some of the most exciting and innovative international
businesses of today.
This isn’t an empty boast. In 2001 Next Ventures deliberately adopted a strategic plan to concentrate on
generating a sizeable capital reserve to use for re-investment purposes when we felt the market dictated
growth. In 2006, we seized the opportunity and, as you can see, the results speak for themselves.
Progressive Growth
A key contribution to our continued success has been our ongoing focus on winning new clients in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa. In fact, 65% of our clients are based in EMEA.
The processes that have facilitated our impressive growth have been underpinned by solid management
practices, and an un-relented effort on measuring and refining our services. The extensive repeat business
we enjoy is testament to our continuing ability to meet and exceed client demands.
The 40% year
on-year growth we
have experienced for
the past 6 years and
the extensive repeat
business we gain
from our clients is
proof that we really
are “good at what
we do.”

Permanent
Regardless of whether you commission our retained
or contingent service, Next Ventures’ clients receive
the same consistently high level of commitment and
attention.
Experience has shown us that almost all clients who
have sampled our contingent offering have been so
impressed that they have gone on to take advantage
of our full value-added services. This allows our

networking capability that allows Next Ventures to
source the most experienced consultants at the most
competitive rates.
“In my experience, not a lot of
agencies/recruiters actually seem
to understand the positions they’re
recruiting for – Next Ventures
certainly did – 100%. My experience
from when I was initially contacted,
to when Next Ventures successfully
found me a permanent position, was
nothing but positive. ”
Sally Van Dam, Microsoft Dynamics
Consultant - Candidate
11. When we say we offer a
global recruitment service,
we mean it.
To date Next Ventures has successfully assisted
clients to recruit both permanent and interim talent
in over 30 countries.
Our business continues to experience significant
year on year growth; turnover is currently
€35million, and set to grow significantly over
the forthcoming years as a direct result of our
continued re-investment in our people and
services.
Our rapid growth supported the need for
international expansion, which now with our

global recruitment partner, for example, 65%
of our business is with international clients.

offices in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland

and interim staffing needs.

compelling career opportunity. Consequently, we always
use proactive search or headhunting techniques to
target and focus on a specific group of companies and
individuals in a competitive or relevant area to make sure

updated to give Next Ventures an unrivalled network of
contacts.

Getronics, Italy
14. It’s what our clients and candidates say that matters.
The foundation of Next Ventures is quality delivery. With this in mind we
wanted to share the experiences of some of our clients and candidates.
The Next Ventures consultant
I dealt with was open,
professional and completely
honest. He managed the
relationship between the client
and myself from start to finish,
always looking for the best
solution for both sides. His
knowledge of IT and the needs
of company and person are top
of the bill. I will gladly call on
him again in the future.
Jan Peter Speijer,
Tibco Contractor
Next Ventures provided me a
thorough, efficient and friendly
service. The initial pitch I got
on the role was detailed and
informative, and has turned out
to be an excellent match for my
both skills and experience.
Based on my experience with
Next Ventures, I will definitely be
happy to work with them again.
Graham Duthie,
.Net Contractor
Next Ventures recruited me in to
Johnson & Johnson. They had
a very good understanding of
the role on offer, and were very
efficient in sorting out queries
and issues. The consultant
also had a very good balance
between giving people enough
updates, but not calling too
often. He made the recruitment
experience a positive one…!
Doris Kneilling,
SAP Functional Consultant
Next Ventures went to great
length making sure that I
was the right candidate for
the sought after position, as
well as making sure that the
company was right for me. The
recruitment turned out to be a
very good fit both for me and for
the recruiting company. I was
also impressed by how Next
Ventures and its employees
showed great dedication and
professionalism during but
also after the my successful
placement recruitment.
Petter Claesson,
VoIP Technical Consultant
Having dealt with other
recruitment companies, I must
say I was positively surprised
by the high quality of service
that I received through Next
Ventures. I was offered an
opportunity with a major
corporation in Switzerland, Next
Ventures knew their client well
and throughout the process
were responsive, supportive and
showed a real positive attitude
to help guide me through the
interview process. For future
positions
Next Ventures will be my first
choice as they are quick,
efficient, helpful and committed
to providing quality service.
Huzaifa Bilimoria,
SAP Consultant
Working with Next Ventures has
been a pleasure. The energy
and commitment they showed
in the first call I had with them
has been maintained throughout
my contract duration, in all our
dealings. I hope to continue our
association long in to the future.
David Erasmus,
Oracle e-Business Contractor
I found Next Ventures to be true
professionals and one of the
best recruitment consultancies
I have worked with in my long
career. From the outset they
were very clear about the
technical requirements of the
role, had a detailed profile of the
company they were recruiting
for and certainly understood
the data market well. The
consultant I dealt with was
especially helpful in dealing
with the contract negotiations
from both sides, and even had
time to meet with me during
the interview process and post
job offer. I would certainly
recommend other friends and
colleagues within the industry
to use Next Ventures as I know
they will not be disappointed.
Clive Richardson,
SQL Server DBA
‘‘Candidates’’
15. Next Ventures has supported us
on several occasions and have
always managed the recruitment
process for Consultants in
a very professional manner.
They have continually delivered
quality candidates; it has been
very rewarding to work in
partnership with a competent,
professional and cost-effective
partner such as Next Ventures.
KPMG, Italy
I have been working with Next
Ventures for 3yrs and we have
a win/win relationship. Their
delivery is exceptional both in
the contract and permanent
markets. They strive to ensure
they give both the client and
candidate a great recruitment
experience, and focus on
building trust which is extremely
important in today’s talent
market.
Snr Corporate Recruiter
Next Ventures approached
me about a VP & GM EMEA
position within (Broadsoft),
a VoIP technology start-up
business. I was extremely
impressed by 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… [They] are
now a truly valued partner of
Broadsoft, assisting me to build
my EMEA sales and consulting
capabilities.
VP & GM EMEA
Next Ventures were
recommended to me by an
industry colleague as we
(Sandvine) at the time were
struggling to find a quality
recruitment partner to help us
expand our EMEA operations.
The recommendation proved to
be extremely valuable as Next
Ventures successfully helped me
to recruit talent in France, Dubai,
Germany, Russia and Holland.
I would have no hesitation in
recommending Next Ventures to
anyone. They have truly proved
themselves to be consummate
professionals and are a valued
partner of Sandvine.
SVP EMEA & ISEA Operations
I always receive a good and
cost efficient service working
with Next Ventures. They
truly add value with their high
knowledge of the IT market
and the understanding of their
customers business needs.
Three top qualities spring to
mind: Great results, Expert,
ontime. It was great to work with
Next Ventures, I look forward to
working with them again.
Practice Manager, France
Alcatel-Lucent has used Next
Ventures for several positions
ranging from Senior Account
Director, through to highly
skilled technical guru’s. All of
my line managers that have
worked with Next Ventures
say they are thorough, very
knowledgeable about the market
they are recruiting in, and always
represent Alcatel-Lucent in
a professional manner. The
service Next Ventures provides
strikes a good balance between
us and the potential candidate;
and the instances they have
been asked to negotiate
packages on our behalf we have
never felt they use this as an
opportunity to gain advantage
for themselves. Next Ventures
are highly recommended as a
professional and competent
recruitment partner.
