ESP are currently recruiting on behalf of Applicaa, a high-growth ed-tech business with an exciting proposition
Their aim is for all schools to automate their admissions process and go paperless. In 2016, they launched Admissions+, a cloud-based software solution.
Since then over 350 schools have adopted Admissions+ (4% UK market). Covid has accelerated the need of schools to manage their admissions remotely. By 2022, they aim to reach over 1,500 schools, 20% of the UK school market.
We are looking for an ambitious, talented, driven Sales Executive to help them grow the business. As part of their small, energetic and highly focused team, you’ll join them initially as a Sales Executive
You can be mostly home based, WFH, work from home, so you could be based anywhere in the UK, although there is a West London office (Notting Hill area), if you wish to work from their offices. Travel to client sites is largely not required as most demonstrations are done virtually.

I am delighted with the service that ESP have provided, in particular Nick Sion, who has worked hard to secure me a position at a brilliant school in London.

I was contacted by ESP regarding a potential contract, and from the first phone call over a year ago, to our continued communications they have always been courteous, professional and informative. Nick who is one of the Senior Consultants was especially helpful when organising my CV, paperwork and interviews before I started. He has also negotiated a number of extensions to my contract including a pay rise on my latest renewal.
Will, Marysia, Lewis and the whole team have also been very helpful when dealing with any queries I have had and they always go out of their way to ensure that I am always paid on time.
I would definitely recommend ESP to any contractors as they go the extra mile to make sure everything is in place, before and during the time you work for them.

Nick has been amazing and has supported me whilst I was looking for my next career move. He was always available if i had any questions or queries and went above and beyond when I was going through the hiring process with my new role. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I would not be in this role I am in today without his persistence and expertise.

Will has done me proud whenever I’ve needed him over the years and I have recommended ESP to many friends and colleagues, whether they were hiring or looking to be hired. He clearly puts effort into matching people and roles, rather than just shoe-horning unsuitable people in.
