Bringing new people onto the sales team, particularly sales executives, needs to be done quickly, accurately, and effectively. Most companies doing these searches on their own will take four or more months to find a sales executive.
Working with sales executive search firms offers a very different perspective. Many of these agencies can provide a short list of qualified candidates in thirty days or less. These names are then provided to the HR department or hiring committee to schedule interviews and choose the best candidate for the job.
In addition to a much faster and more efficient process, the benefits of hiring sales executive search firms include:
• List of pre-screened candidates – recruiters keep a database of hundreds of potential candidates that can be cross-referenced with specific strengths, skills, and experience levels. This eliminates the time and effort needed to find the ideal candidates out of thousands of possible applications.
• Qualified professionals – top recruiting services take the time to interview and speak to every sales professional they represent. This is a critical step to matching potential candidates to businesses. More importantly, human interaction is required to confirm candidate interest in a company and sales position.
• Ability to meet specific needs – companies may have specific DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies that need to be considered in the hiring process. Sales executive search firms can ensure the short list of candidates meets these requirements.
• Confidentiality – companies often want to keep information about their sales teams and competitive advantage confidential. Working with a sales recruiter means you have more access and transparency into every job being considered. It also means that companies and candidates do not waste time.
Talking with a top sales recruitment agency is the first step in hiring the right sales executive for your sales team vacancy.
