Sunderland tech recruiter takes on ex-Sage exec
Mike Rohan, the former head of business development for Sage UK has moved to a role with Sunderland Software Centre based Technically Compatible, joining the company in the newly created role of sales director, sitting as part of the senior management team.
Rohan’s move from the global technology giant is another vote of confidence for the company which enables businesses to accurately test the technical capabilities of prospective employees and already counts software company Tombola, retail giant Next and billion-dollar consultancy firm Sapient, amongst clients.
Maurice Whittle, chairman of the board at Technically Compatible, said, “We’re absolutely delighted with this appointment. It’s a clear message that Technically Compatible is a strong start up and is making successful steps in continuing its upward trajectory in the tech recruitment space. Mike’s leadership in the sales team will only serve to improve and focus the company’s efforts.”
Rohan himself is excited about the move and is already making inroads, bringing on Admiral Group and Sage, in the last month.
“This opportunity was too good to miss. Technically Compatible has a fantastic product which truly answers the issues experienced by both in-house and agency-based tech recruiters. I’m able to accumulate all my commercial knowledge into driving forward this exciting start up. The fact that the product is a commercial no-brainer, only makes my job easier.”
