You're looking for experienced sales professionals to expand your sales team and achieve (revenue) growth. But sales recruiting is tough these days. There's a large number of sales vacancies, while high-level sales talent is scarce and difficult to recruit. The truth is, most sales executives, sales managers, senior sales reps, and business development managers already have a job they're quite happy with. To find a suitable candidate, you'll want to work with a good sales recruitment agency. So, you probably googled terms such as 'senior sales recruitment,' ‘sales talent acquisition,’ 'sales headhunter,' and 'sales manager recruitment.'
As it turns out, there's a myriad of parties out there. Virtually everyone claims they can recruit the perfect candidate. But who has the experience, skills, and network required to help you out fast and effectively?
If you embark on a sales recruitment process all by yourself, you'll quickly run into problems — especially if your new hire should tick a few important boxes. You're looking for a sales professional who thoroughly understands the sales process and customer relationships. They should be able to communicate with departments across your organization and know how to convert (luke)warm leads into prospects. It's also essential that they have a solid network and a track record of successful sales projects, so they can drive revenue growth. And of course, the right candidate is proactive, results oriented, and ambitious. If you sell a complex service, they should also be familiar with consultative selling.
Even if you find a talent like that, chances are they're not eager to come work for you. In fact, most won't even be interested in scheduling an introductory meeting. They're simply not looking to switch jobs. So, how to convince them that your vacancy is perfect for them?
It's essential to adapt your recruitment approach to the current job market's demands. This boils down to a rather simple fact: recruitment = sales. That means you need to sell your vacancy and company in no time. Perfect the art of the pitch, and you might get somewhere. The question is, do you have the sales skills required to recruit the high-level sales talent you're looking for? Or is it better to leave senior sales recruitment to well-versed sales jobs recruiters?
When it comes to demanding or complex sales positions, it's crucial that candidates feel they're on the same page with a recruiter. The problem is, many recruitment agencies throw fresh graduates in at the deep end. They’re labeled recruiters, but your assignment might be their first. Now, everyone has to learn the job sometime, of course. But you probably don't want to be a guinea pig!
