Remote recruitment and 'more training than ever before' - Reseller bosses on making the most of lockdown

Colin Brown and James Hardy speak to CRN as part of our DeskFlix event, which goes live on 27 May

Developing remote recruitment and training systems are just two ways partners have taken advantage of lockdown, according to the MDs of Softcat and CCS Media.

James Hardy and Colin Brown were speaking to CRN as part of our virtual DeskFlix event, which takes place next Wednesday (27 May). You register to attend here.

Despite the challenges that come with the resellers' workforce being dispersed, both Hardy and Brown said that there have been opportunities to improve operations in ways that they may not have considered before lockdown forced a rethink.

Hardy (pictured, left) said that CCS Media has been delivering training and enablement virtually - something that the business may not have done before, while Brown (pictured, centre) said that Softcat has been able to accelerate plans to introduce a virtual element to its on-boarding process.

The two managing directors feature on a panel as part of three hours' worth of content for our first DeskFlix event.

They'll be joined by managing directors and CEOs from the likes of Bytes, Logicalis and Block Solution.
