We just helped one of our clients fill 3 sales positions 😍 This makes us really happy as our client was really frustrated with other recruiting agencies. Here’s how we did it 👇 Step 1: Kick off call to discuss ideal candidate profile with the managing director Step 2: Development of candidate persona and communication to attract candidates with the right mindset Step 3: Identification of talents and direct outreach. Step 4: Set up of intro calls to talk about the role and make first talent assessments. We always perform detailed screening calls to check for skills and also fit to the company. Step 5: Scheduling of interviews directly with managing director. We always adapt to the internal process of our clients and try to maintain processes as lean as possible. Step 6: We stay in close communication with the candidates to ensure we keep interest high and provide a great candidate experience. We want the company of our clients to always leave a great impression. Fast recruitment and great results are definitely still possible. 🚀 Do you currently have open positions in sales you cannot fill by yourself and want to have similar results? We help mid-sized companies hire great candidates! Reach out to me and let’s have a chat 💪

Why use a recruitment partner? Simple: to get the right candidate without the hassle. I've had the privilege of collaborating with remarkable companies, both exclusively and amidst competition. But something I'm really passionate about is quality over quantity. Take one recent success story. A company I've worked closely with for years went through an acquisition, shaking up their hiring process. Yet, my understanding of their business, culture, and knack for pinpointing the ideal candidate remained unchanged. They engaged an internal recruiter and another local agency alongside me. Here's the breakdown: Internal recruiter: 30+ CVs Recruiter 2: 5 CVs Sarah West Recruitment: 1 candidate introduced. Who did they hire? — my candidate. Perfect fit, zero hesitation🎉 It wasn't about flooding them with CVs; it was about knowing precisely what they needed. With a track record of successful placements and an intimate understanding of the company's values, I cut through the noise to deliver results. So, if you're seeking an expert sales recruiter who dives deep into your company's ethos and growth trajectory, let's connect! Say goodbye to CV overload—I've got you covered.

Client - "We keep losing great candidates in the middle our process" Recruiter - "And what is your process?" Client - "It's 6 stages in total including a presentation, psychometric test and normally takes around 6 weeks" A conversation I recently had a Sales Leader looking for AE's 🤔💭 I completely get businesses want to be thorough when BUT... 6 stages over 6 weeks = Poor candidate experience!!!❌❌ Candidates actively searching will have multiple options at the same time. The time, effort and energy that goes in will be completely draining 🙈 Businesses even though you might have a great team & product, candidates aren't going to wait 6 weeks when others are doing it in 2-3!! If you want to avoid this: - Make yourself available sooner to keep momentum 📅 - Combine stages to shorten the process 📈 - Show candidates this is a priority and so are they in the process ✅ Candidates want to work with a businesses that value their time & can get things done!! 3x simple changes that could make all the difference!🙌💥

Ever wondered why "saving" on internal hiring might actually end costing you more in the long run? When it comes to hiring salespeople, the stakes are high. Doing it yourself can seem cost-effective but often misses the mark and getting it wrong can be costly. Here’s why: Limited Reach and Network: Internal HR teams may not have the specialised networks that a dedicated sales recruitment agency boasts. Agencies like SalesHQ have broader access to passive candidates who are not actively searching for new opportunities but could be the perfect fit for your organisation. Job boards: Job adverts only attract active job seekers. This means your talent pool is only 10-20% of the total market. The best sales talent is unlikely to be looking for a new job when they’re performing well in their current role. Expertise in Sales Hiring: Sales roles require specific skills and personality traits that are best identified by those who specialise in sales. Sales recruitment agencies have a deeper understanding of what makes a successful salesperson and are better equipped to assess these qualities in candidates. Resource Constraints: Internal teams often have multiple roles to fill across different departments and may not be able to devote the time necessary to headhunt and vet candidates for sales positions specifically, which can be quite time-intensive. Bias and Presumption: Biases or preconceived notions about what good sales talent looks like can obscure objectivity, potentially overlooking candidates who could excel but don't fit the traditional mould. Opportunity Cost: Every moment spent recruiting is time lost selling. Specialist recruitment agencies like Sales HQ can place exceptional sales talent 4 x faster than traditional methods, saving you time, money and the risk of a bad hire. Pro Tip: When hiring internally, focus on candidates who demonstrate adaptability and a passion for sales, and invest in continuous training to keep their skills sharp. Embrace a fresh perspective—consider the long-term benefits of investing in specialist recruitment. SalesHQ connects you with top-tier sales professionals who can hit the ground running, ensuring you’re not just filling a gap but boosting your business.

Do you know what I love? Permanent B2B marketing recruitment. As a result, I work with some seriously good candidates who have short stints on their CVs. The best hiring managers I work with will always ask me to explain the background to these shorts stints. What makes them a great hiring manager? They listen to the explanation and don't use it as a reason not to interview the candidate! What are some examples that candidates can give? 1. They now want me in 4 days when it was 2 originally. 2. The role is different to the one I was hired to do. 3. The culture doesn't align with my values 4. I was made redundant/might be made redundant 5. I had to care for a sick family member Ultimately, any reason should be considered and not held against candidates. On the flip side, if there is an obvious pattern with many short stints (that aren't contracts) I let my candidates know that they should ask some deeper questions at interview about the companies culture and way of working, before they commit to joining. #recruitment #marketingrecuitment
