The national and international markets are seeing a surge in fintech companies. Start-ups and scale-ups are growing rapidly, with ambitious goals. And where there’s growth, there are vacancies. However, the job market is extremely tight, especially in such a specialized segment. Are you searching for top-tier sales or business development talent with deep knowledge of financial technology? You’ve likely turned to Google, entering terms like ‘fintech sales manager’, ‘fintech account manager’, ‘fintech recruitment agency’, ‘ICT recruiting’, ‘IT recruiting agency’, and ‘fintech sales recruitment’. Perhaps you're looking for English-speaking talent, so you searched for terms like ‘combined experience sales fintech’ or ‘fintech business developer with market understanding’.
Before long, you found yourself overwhelmed by options. Recruitment agencies are everywhere, each promising the moon. But who truly has the experience, knowledge, and skills to quickly find the right candidate for you? It’s a tall order. Good salespeople who can excel in the fintech sector are hard to come by. And even when you find them, it’s a challenge to pique their interest. Most already have secure, well-paying jobs. So who can persuade them to trade in their current contract for the risk of a new venture at your company?
That’s where senior recruiters with strong sales skills come in—experts who can quickly sell both your vacancy and your company to the right candidates. In other words, SalesSupply’s recruiters, who bring over 20 years of experience in sales, management, and recruitment to the table!
Let’s be honest: a sales professional just starting out isn’t the person you’re looking for. No matter how talented they may be, if they’re fresh out of school, they still have a lot to learn. And you want to move full speed ahead with your fintech company. Accelerating through acquisition—that’s what your ideal candidate needs to do. That requires both experience and knowledge.
It’s understandable, then, that your list of requirements is long. Your new sales talent is results-driven, communicates effortlessly with customers and all levels within your organization, and converts warm leads into strong prospects. The perfect candidate also has a proven track record of driving new business. In-depth knowledge of fintech is essential, along with a network within the sector. And if you sell a complex service, it’s also crucial that the candidate is skilled in consultative selling.
Essentially, you’re looking for the all-round sales expert—the “unicorn.” Is that asking a lot? Absolutely. But only someone with this skill set can significantly contribute to your growth strategy. The question is: how do you recruit such talent?
A leading recruitment agency with an impressive logo may be tempting, but does the saying "the bigger, the better" really apply in this case? The reality is that with large recruitment firms, you often don’t know in advance which recruiter will handle your assignment. There’s a good chance it will be a junior recruiter. Now, this person may be extremely talented, but the question is whether you want your critical hiring process to be their trial run. And will the seasoned sales professional you’re looking for take a junior recruiter seriously?
Additionally, it’s worth considering whether you truly need a fintech recruitment agency. Wouldn't you rather work with a recruitment firm that specializes in hiring sales professionals and has successfully done so for fintech companies? That’s the sweet spot. And that’s exactly where SalesSupply operates!
We excel in IT sales recruitment. Our senior recruiters have extensive experience filling sales roles for fintech organizations. Over the past two decades, each of them has built a wealth of experience in sales, management, and recruitment. This expertise is invaluable when hiring the sales expert you’re looking for.
We’re in a candidate-driven market today. Talents hold the cards. They expect potential employers to roll out the red carpet (article in Dutch by one of our senior recruiters). If you don’t follow through on your commitments or respond quickly (and lose momentum), they’re gone. If you can’t pitch your vacancy quickly and compellingly, you risk losing top candidates for good. Recruitment today has little to do with HR and everything to do with sales. Good sales recruiters who know their craft are indispensable. This makes it crucial for HR to partner with them. (It’s no coincidence that our director, Leon, shared five tips on Frankwatching to improve collaboration between these parties.)
If you’re looking to hire a mid-level or senior sales professional for your fintech company, it’s essential to work with a recruiter who speaks your candidate’s language. Our recruiters possess specialized knowledge in both fintech and sales. They understand that you’re seeking sales talent who can truly grasp your business, and they can engage in high-level discussions about the complex issues in your sector.
When you work with us, we act as both recruiters and consultants. We guide both you and the candidate throughout the entire process. Need coaching or advice? No problem. With our extensive knowledge and experience, we can provide that like no one else.
Additionally, we remain flexible. If a candidate can only meet with us in the evening or on a weekend, we’re happy to accommodate. This way, we help you achieve your goals quickly and efficiently.
We’ll find the right candidate for you within 3 weeks. That’s our guarantee.
