The best candidates in the market are not actively looking to change organizations. A trusted partner who can sell your opportunity from the very first touchpoint is necessary to add an 'A Player' to your team. Hiring managers have to embrace (and be willing) to actively sell their organization and opportunity to candidates throughout the interview process. Don't be too proud to sell yourself to a standout candidate! #recruiting #sales #hiring

Looking to attract top-tier sales candidates? It starts with treating them as more than just a number. As a hiring manager, avoid these mistakes to ensure you don’t miss out on top sales talent: ❌ Don’t ask about their book of business in the first interview. ❌ Don’t treat candidates like just another number. ❌ Don’t do it alone—let us help you find the perfect fit!

Pro Interview Tip: For revenue-generating positions, involve your hiring manager early in the process. It saves time and shows your commitment to a great candidate experience while setting clear expectations from the start. This approach is effective if your recruiters have a good sense of what works for your team and if they can look beyond the accolades. Have them conduct video calls before advancing candidates. Train them to evaluate presentation skills and non-verbal cues—this provides an indirect but valuable insight into how candidates will perform in front of customers and gives you another data point for decision-making. #hiring #salesobs #headhunter #sales #gtm #atxjobs #builtin

Just imagine a world… A world where sales candidates reply to a recruiter, take the time to diligently review the job description, schedule the call, show up on time and are prepared, know their numbers and process and easily communicate this, complete the candidate profile the same day along with the video, quickly schedule the next interview with the client, show up prepared for that interview and crush it and eventually get an offer in 10 days or less…. I can not only imagine it, I am living in this world. Of the 9+ candidates I place each month, 3 of them typically fit into this category. The other 6 take a bit more work but the 3 that go above and beyond usually go to offer much faster than the rest. #hiring #recruiterlife #recruiting #saassales #gsd #agsd #sales #startup #founder #ceo

I have a genuine question for sales recruiters. When evaluating a sales person in the interview process, what are some key questions to ask to measure or demonstrate business acumen and/or the ability to solution or provide the right offerings to a client? Throughout my time in sales, I’ve been part of hiring processes - and one thing that still remains true, is sales people sell themselves well at the interview however it doesn’t always translate to success in a new role. I’d love to hear from more experienced #recruiters on the best ways to gauge fit for a sales role. PS. I know expectations and training/onboarding are factors as well. #salescareer #salesreceuitment #SDR #SaaSsales #networking #collaborating

Go hard or go home. You can't do both. Sales Leaders tell me they are often managing a moving situation, after all great Sales Professionals have options and typically change role inside every 5 years or fewer. So, when it comes to hiring, in order to attract the kind of people who suit your situation avoid conflating "an indepth recruitment process that seeks to determine both parties value proposition" with taking a long time between stages or having too many stages.... ...sometimes, taking a punt on someone because you get a great feeling or have heard brilliant things about them is OK if it suits both parties. Would you do a one stage interview and hire? I'm in the mood for networking with Sales Leaders, message me and let's get a coffee on me...plus a cake if we can do it in person!

🚀 Quality over Quantity 🚀 When recruiting for an elite sales role, interviewing two great candidates is better than interviewing eight box-checked profiles. Recruiters who have carried a sales bag and/or led sales teams understand the nuances of what makes a high-performing sales pro. Let’s focus on attracting high performing sales talent who align with your company. #disruptivesales #elitesales

A killer question that most clients don't ask their recruiter... "How many roles are you currently working on?" This is a question I am rarely asked and is soooo important for a client to know. A recruiter can give you the best sales pitch in the world about their ratios, their success stories, and the candidates they have access to, or are currently representing. But if they're currently working on a huge volume of roles, where is yours going to fall on their priority list? 🤔 A true partnership is formed when the client makes hiring their priority, and the recruiter makes that client's role their priority. #recruitment #recruiter #recruiters #recruiting #hiring
