special message to recruitment agencies
Over the years we've been bombarded with calls from recruitment agencies, and whilst we appreciate that you guys need to earn a crust, we do well enough in search engines to not need your services. Thanks for your interest though!
“I have news for the forces of greed and the defenders of the Status Quo; your time has come and gone.”Bill Clinton
speculative applications
Whilst we actively discourage speculative postal and email applications (especially CV attachments!), we do like receiving links to portfolio sites. If you send through a brief email to join [dot] us [at] nameless [dot] co [dot] uk with a link to your site then we guarantee that we will take the time to visit. Please note that recruitment related emails sent to any other address are automatically junked, so use the above address to infinitely improve your chances of being considered!
For speculative applications, we operate on a "don't call us, we'll call you" policy, primarily because we get so many applications through every day, so please accept our apologies if we are unable to confirm the receipt of your message.
Please make sure you check the job descriptions below before sending anything through, as even with speculative applications, it pays to know how well you fit with what we expect for each role.
deep sea divers (business developers with solid digital agency experience)
Every business knows what they want from a business developer; bring in exciting jobs, keep clients happy and not be afraid to reach outside of your comfort zone. That should be a given. However qualifications, track records, targets and commissions aside, at nameless we have our own special expectations of you.
Firstly you need imagination and passion. If you're knowledgeable and excited about the technology and the possibilities then the sky is the limit. Secondly, you need integrity - we don't want a hunter-stalker or a wide-boy/girl, we want an evangelist with their soul intact, a deep-sea-diver with the courage to jump into waters unknown, the tenacity to keep diving for treasure and the common sense to come up for air on a regular basis. But most importantly we want you to be a team player. We won't place caps on your commission because your success is our success too, but we do expect that you will do your utmost to sell the best solution and that will involve working with our production team rather than working solo.
If you think you're up to the job then get in touch with your c.v. to join [dot] us [at] nameless [dot] co [dot] uk with "I know my oysters from my clams" in the subject line...
