focused on sales performance.

A strong CV doesn't necessarily mean a strong salesperson. And a candidate who performs well in an interview may not be the person who builds pipeline, handles objections, closes deals or consistently achieves target.


That's why our approach to sales recruitment goes beyond job titles and resumes.


We look at the things that actually matter in sales:


  • Revenue and target achievement
  • New business generation
  • Pipeline development
  • Conversion rates
  • Deal size and sales cycles
  • Territory and account growth
  • Customer acquisition and retention
  • Prospecting and business development
  • Sales methodology and process
  • Industry and product experience
  • Career progression and performance history
  • Cultural and team fit
