Giles Daniels

Director

Giles runs our Permanent Recruitment division. Giles joined Coca-Cola as a graduate recruit, before quickly realising FMCG was not for him. A mate from the rugby club gave him an escape route into recruitment – that was thirteen years ago, and for the last 11 Giles has specialised in commercial roles across technology markets.

Giles enjoys all sport, eating, drinking and travel - the more of those he can do at the same time the better!!!

Opportunities

The UK Technology industry is the second largest in Europe at approximately £81 Billion annually.

Many of these technology businesses are the British face of overseas companies excited about introducing new technology into the European markets.

This puts huge recruitment pressures on such companies, often against aggressive time frames.

Our Executive Search and Sales practice specialise in the recruitment of commercially focused, business critical hires, with an EMEA wide coverage.

All our clients fall into very closely aligned market sectors; Software, SaaS, Technology Services, ecommerce, Social Commerce and Business Information.

We have very strong links to a wide network of people working in sales, marketing, business development, presales and professional services across EMEA. Some of these people have had their careers enhanced by our consultants for much of their working life.

Testimonials

I have worked with Giles on both sides of the recruitment process. Giles approached me for the VP EMEA opportunity at Moxie Software and I knew immediately it was a perfect fit for both Moxie and myself. Due to their knowledge of the SaaS market, it's dynamics and people it was a very fast process. For the same reasons our partnership has been very effective ever since. Giles is extremely well connected, professional, and straight talking. Moxie is growing very quickly and it has been hugely important for me to have a recruitment partner who understands what it takes to be successful in a dynamic SaaS business. There is no time wasted for any side: They are very diligent in their approach and selection, and have helped me to hire great people. I would absolutely recommend Giles to any company who are looking to attract the right people, fast.

JB Sorge - VP and GM, EMEA

Giles was introduced to me by one of our major investors and it immediately became clear to me that he knew exactly what was required to scale a SaaS business. Giles has already helped LeapCR hire some key members of the team, we are working together currently on key C-level hires, and look forward to continuing to do so in the future.

Malcolm Scovil, CEO and Founder, LeapCR

Giles contacted me directly to ascertain what our EMEA growth plans were. We agreed to work with Giles on an exclusive basis. Giles’ understanding of what we wanted and ability to manage the whole process ensured we got a quick result. I would certainly recommend Giles and Stott and May to others.

Conan Reidy, VP Business Development, LogMeIn

Giles’ understanding of what we wanted was exceptional – we ran a day of interviews for a Senior Sales Executive and made a hire within 48 hours. I would like to thank Giles for his efforts and looking forward to working again many times in the future.
