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?

Who are we?

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.”Accenture, Brussels

Next Ventures first choice!

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.”The 40% year on-year growth we have experienced for the past 7 years and the

extensive repeat business we gain from our clients is proof that we really are “good at

what we do.”


We learn more that way; so that’s why we listen to

you before positioning our wide range of flexible and

innovative technology staffing services.

Our resourcing process ensures that we have access to all of the best candidates. We utilise sophisticated in-house head-hunting techniques (that enable us to approach non-active candidates), and have access to all of the major job-board and advertising mediums. Our process and mediums include:

• consultant market knowledge • internal network of candidates • extensive database of 180,000+ candidates • access to all of the major CV-searching job-boards• advertising agreements with all of the major on-line

job-boards• all consultants have access to our internal team of

multilingual researchers.

Together we will create the ideal solution for

your particular recruitment challenges; many

of our services have been born out of specific

client needs.

PermanentRegardless 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 relationships to evolve and become more formal and exclusive, when Next Ventures can then engage as a true recruitment partner.

Next Ventures’ consultants professionally guide a

candidate though the entire recruitment process

from initial selection through to interview, offer

stage, negotiation and acceptance.

InterimOur personal streamlined interim/contract service enables us to deliver short-term ‘technology subject-matter experts’ to clients who need to quickly acquire skills for the successful delivery of time- and business-critical projects.

The team of industry experts we have created gives unrivalled market knowledge and an industry networking capability that allows Next Ventures to source the most experienced consultants at the most competitive rates.

We prefer listening

to talking

“ In my experience, not a lot of agencies/recruiters actually seem to understand the positions they’re recruiting for – Next Venturescertainly did – 100%. My experience from when I was initially contacted, to when Next Ventures successfullyfound me a permanent position, was nothing but positive.”Sally Van Dam, Microsoft Dynamics

Consultant - Candidate

global recruitment service,

we mean it.

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 reach solidifies our position as a truly global recruitment partner, for example, 65% of our business is with international clients.

Global Recruitment


Knowledge – Next Ventures’ consultants are individually focused on particular technology niches. This fosters effective industry knowledge ensuring a strong and detailed understanding of each individual client’s business, technology and competitive sector.

Experience – Our consultants and managers have a minimum of six years’ recruitment/industry experience within the technology sector, equipping them to offer you a high level of professional service and recruitment best practice.

Flexibility – Next Ventures offers flexible, bespoke, recruitment services that can be delivered against aggressive timescales to help our clients to resolve staffing challenges in time-sensitive and business-critical projects.

Proactive approach – We believe that the best candidates are not always those who are actively looking for new jobs, but often those individuals who are currently successful and happy in their roles but nevertheless receptive to a well presented and 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 we deliver the best possible candidates for you.

In-depth research – Each assignment involves our experienced research team to ensure candidates are targeted from the correct technology/market sectors. All research is conducted in-house to ensure the knowledge is retained and continually updated to give Next Ventures an unrivalled network of contacts.

Key account management/ client partnering – We offer you a single point of contact, ensuring clear communication and a consistently high level of service.

Delivery – Ultimately the key differentiator for any recruitment business is the ability to deliver qualified candidates within a specified time frame. Next Ventures is able to boast a 100% record on

delivering to retained assignments and an incredibly impressive CV-to-interview ratio, ultimately crediting this achievement to an unparalleled desire to create reference accounts for each and every one of our clients.

“ We value Next Ventures as a key partner; they have an excellent knowledge of the market and a professional approach to dealing with our requirements. They have always delivered quality candidates within budget, providing a first class service. I would highly recommend Next Ventures as a reliable and competent partner.” Getronics, Italy


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

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.
