We search inside your market
Traditional recruitment often starts with people who have applied for jobs.
Our approach starts with the companies employing the people you would actually want to hire.
We map your market.
We identify competitors and relevant adjacent businesses.
We establish who is producing results.
Then we approach those people directly.
Technical sales requires proper assessment
A successful industrial salesperson may need to sell to:
- Distributors
- Contractors
- Engineers
- Consultants
- Procurement teams
- Manufacturers
- Retailers
- Installers
- National accounts
- International distributors
We therefore assess more than job title and sector experience.
We want to understand what they sold, who they sold to, how they generated opportunities and what they delivered.
Find the people already succeeding in your market
The strongest candidate may already work for a competitor.
That is exactly where we start looking.
