Your sales team needs new talent. You're looking for an account manager who knows the ropes and will be a real asset to your company. Of course, no two account managers are the same. The professional you want to hire knows how to collaborate with co-workers, can communicate with departments across your organization, and aims to achieve business growth. They're also a good fit for your company culture. That's quite the list of requirements. So, where to start? Your first stop was probably Google. You entered terms like 'account manager recruitment,' 'account manager jobs,' 'account manager job opening,' and 'recruiting account manager jobs' to explore the recruitment market and — hopefully — find some qualified candidates.
But they were nowhere to be seen. Recruitment agencies promising you the moon, however, seem to be growing on trees. The question is, which sales recruitment agency has the experience, expertise, network, and sales skills required to fill your vacancy?
You are looking for a sales professional at heart. That's why a generic account manager job description won't do. Under the subheading "account manager responsibilities," for example, you've listed a lot more than "track key account metrics." And when it comes to knowledge, skills, and experience, you're very specific about what you're looking for.
For example, the account manager you want to hire knows how to maintain existing client relationships and hunt new business. Ideally, your new account manager has a proven track record in driving new business.
If the service you provide is complex, it's also important that they have knowledge of consultative selling. And of course, you're looking for an ambitious, proactive, and results-oriented expert.
Account managers like these are difficult to find. Without professional recruiters, most companies simply can't fill their mid-level and senior vacancies. Or, they do hire someone, but it takes mere weeks to discover this person isn't a good fit after all — which is quite an expensive mistake.
The question is, where are the highly skilled account managers you're looking for?
Today's market is challenging. If hiring managers develop and use a textbook recruitment approach, they won't get very far. The reality is that finding suitable candidates has become a daunting task.
Once you've perused hundreds of résumés, the hard work has only just begun. For when you try to contact the talent you've selected, you often hit a wall. Most companies struggle to even schedule an introductory meeting.
The truth is, your perfect match is not a job seeker hoping for a vacancy like yours to cross their path. The majority of talented account managers (and other sales professionals) work for an employer, and they've found their feet. They won't just quit their steady job. Your offer should be incredibly appealing for them to even consider it. Aspects such as salary, fringe benefits, personal development, and opportunities for growth should clearly show that making a switch to your company will pay off. And it's crucial to pitch the vacancy and your company to them in no time.
