Have you ever…

If you answered “Yes!” to any of these scenarios, you are not alone.
Why Sales Recruiting is So Challenging
In today’s shifting economic climate, it’s difficult to meet revenue goals without the right sales resources in place.
Too often, sales teams are filled with average-level talent that doesn’t understand how to effectively close business to meet their targets. At the same time, open headcounts can often translate into losses: in productivity, in revenue, in market share. More than ever, strategic sales recruiting is critical to determining an organization’s success. You can’t grow your company to its true sales potential without hiring top producers.
But with limited time, resources, and expertise, sales recruiting can sometimes come last on a manager’s priority list. Managers under pressure to fill open headcounts may make quick-fix hires of near-miss candidates. Others, waiting to stumble across a sales superstar, may never fill their open positions.
In the end, these sales managers recruit and hire with the resources provided, often at the expense of the company’s competitive advantage. To build a successful sales organization, you need to recruit top sales talent with the skills to take your company to the next level.

Recruit Inside and Outside Sales Professionals
Inside Sales
Inside sales is one of the fastest growing sales professions. As businesses look beyond their local boundaries to expand their customer bases, inside sales representatives are a natural solution.
Outside Sales
Contrary to popular belief, outside sales isn’t dead. In fact, outside sales is thriving as one of the fastest growing areas of sales, and won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
Recruiting Top Sales Talent
Hoping to avoid these costly errors, and recruit those top sales people quickly, companies rely on internal recruiters or external staffing vendors to fill their open sales positions. At times, this strategy can be costly–and not just in placement fees. Generalist recruiters search for sales talent the same way they would for any other candidate: by relying on job descriptions and hard skill sets. This strategy is often a sound one for positions with specific requirements for education and experience. However, sales people don’t often fit into general molds and finding the right sales fit often transcends the traditional job description.
A sales recruiter, on the other hand, possesses the experience necessary to recognize these important cues from sales candidates, and target sales candidates who are exceptional, filling open positions faster with better talent. This is why a firm that specializes in recruiting top sales talent will always outperform generalists. To find a great sales talent, you need more than just a big net.
