Conducting an Executive Search? In today's market, it's a complex task. Especially in the IT sector, where talent is scarce and in high demand. Meanwhile, the number of start-ups and scale-ups is growing rapidly. Cloud, ERP, SaaS, software development, AI—the pace of technological development is staggering, with innovation at an all-time high. This means even more job openings. Add to that an aging workforce and the increasing number of part-timers, and it’s clear: the job market is tightening at an alarming rate. IT companies looking for an executive or manager often find themselves in a bind. You might have experienced this, too—turning to Google for recruitment help. You may have searched for terms like "IT executive recruiters," "executive search firms," "IT recruiting agency," "filling senior executive vacancies," or "interim management firms specialized in ICT." The result? An overwhelming flood of options.
But the real question is: who is truly an expert in quickly recruiting executive candidates for IT companies? Who understands the complexity of your business and the specific requirements you have for a candidate? And who has the experience and sales skills to sell your vacancy to the right talent?
In one word: SalesSupply!
There are plenty of general IT recruitment agencies, and even among IT headhunters, they are not all the same. If you’re searching for IT managers or other IT experts, SalesSupply may not be the right fit. We’ve made a conscious decision to focus solely on ICT recruiting with a very specific niche: we specialize in filling executive and sales roles, particularly for the IT sector.
Are you looking for a manager in the IT industry? For example, do you need to recruit a business unit manager, a commercial director, a marketing and sales manager, or an ICT country manager? If so, we operate exactly at the intersection where you need us. And for every recruitment assignment, we bring a wealth of experience to the table. Each of our recruiters has over 20 years of experience in sales, management, and recruitment. Because we’ve worked in senior sales and executive positions ourselves, we speak the same language as your ideal candidate. This is crucial because executives and managers prefer to communicate at a certain level. They see our senior recruiters as peers and listen to them. In fact, candidates often agree to speak with us when they’ve refused to engage with other executive search firms. They can afford to be selective because they often already hold strong positions in the current market.
They also know their skills are in high demand. It's no secret that when IT companies embark on an executive recruitment search, they're looking for the "unicorn"—a top talent with the right management experience, specialized IT knowledge, familiarity with specific management styles, and a personality that fits your company culture. If you do find such a candidate, piquing their interest is no small feat. You need to present an exceptionally attractive offer, pitch your vacancy and company perfectly, and run an efficient recruitment process.
Difficult? For many HR departments, it is. That’s where we come in!
Your vacancy probably includes a list of job requirements. When you come into contact with a candidate, you’ll first want to know if they meet the must-haves or hard requirements. It’s not hard to determine this. But the real recruitment work begins afterward. Does the candidate actually have the right soft skills? Will they fit into your company culture? Can this person communicate effectively with both employees and clients? Do they share your vision? These are the kinds of questions that only senior executive recruiters with extensive people skills can answer. They can contextualize a candidate's story within the broader scope of your vacancy and company, helping to sense whether there’s a genuine match beyond just what's on paper.
Our experience allows us to quickly get to the heart of the matter during interviews. Before we introduce a candidate to you, we form a crystal-clear picture of that person. Is this talent strong in communication, performance-driven, and motivated to work with your company? Do they truly understand your services or products? How does the candidate define their vision and values? To get authentic answers to these questions, we dig deep. Sometimes we “test” the candidate to see how they respond. We can do this because we have experience not only in management and sales but also in life. That’s why we don’t rely on personality tests or audits. When you've logged as many “sales and management miles” as we have, the most reliable information comes from person-to-person conversations.
Candidates today expect quite a lot from you. If you don’t pitch and sell your vacancy and company quickly, they’re gone. If you don’t roll out the red carpet, they’re gone. If you don’t follow through or respond promptly—well, you guessed it: they’re gone. (Our Director Leon even wrote a piece on Frankwatching about how HR and recruiters can improve collaboration!)
The reality is, recruitment in the traditional sense no longer exists. Recruitment has become sales. And that happens to be a craft that our senior executive recruiters excel at. Selling your vacancy is second nature to us. But it doesn’t stop there. We also leverage our recruitment experience and knowledge to provide advice and guidance: for you and for the candidate, we act as consultants when needed. Need us to go the extra mile, like meeting with a candidate on a Sunday? No problem. Our goal is to meet your recruitment objectives!
Are you looking for a permanent addition to your executive or management team? Then you’ve come to the right place. But maybe you’re seeking a (C-level) headhunting agency to recruit interim talent. Interim management helps organizations move forward when they need temporary reinforcement quickly—whether it's to set a new strategy, manage a crisis, or guide a reorganization.
We’ll help you in both cases. Although executives with IT industry expertise aren’t easy to find, it’s certainly not impossible. With our extensive network, deep knowledge of the IT sector, advanced sales skills, and years of experience, we’ll fill your vacancy quickly and efficiently.
Keep in mind: if you’re considering hiring an interim executive or manager simply because you think a permanent process will take too long, with SalesSupply, such a compromise usually isn’t necessary. We offer a guarantee: we’ll present a suitable candidate to you within 3 weeks.
Do you need a top interim manager within 72 hours? Then our interim management recruitment service is the right choice for you.
