Sales executive recruiters match sales professionals with companies in need of salespeople. They identify potential candidates through databases, advertisements, and referrals, and screen them through preliminary interviews before scheduling interviews with the hiring manager.
Sales executive recruiters are responsible for identifying, evaluating, interviewing and hiring sales professionals. Typically, a sales executive recruiter is a third-party company that the trade organization looking for sales professionals hires to help them with the recruiting and hiring process. An executive sales recruiter specializes in matching sales professionals with organizations in need of salespeople. Therefore, this type of recruiter works in a specialized position rather than hiring for any type of position.
Ultimately, sales executive recruiters are matchmakers or liaisons between companies that hire salespeople and job seekers. One of the first steps an executive sales recruiter must take is to find a company, which is the client, that needs to hire one or more sales professionals.
The executive sales recruiter goes through an extensive questionnaire process to get to know the company they are hiring. The executive recruiter also needs to obtain a description of what the sales professional’s responsibilities will be after hiring. The executive recruiter should also talk extensively with the supervisor or manager to whom the sales professional will report directly so that the recruiter can get a deeper idea of what the candidate occupying the sales position should possess.
Once sales executive recruiters have all the information about the company they hire and the position they want to fill, it’s time to find candidates who fit the needs of the company and the position. Sales executive recruiters can identify potential candidates in several ways. First, they may have a database of resumes and candidates they can search through to select potential candidates who fit the role.
Second, sales executive recruiters can place advertisements in the general population or in trade journals and publications to attract the attention of new candidates. Another option for sales executive recruiters to use is to reach out to sales professionals they know to see if they know anyone with a sales background who fits the role the executive recruiter is trying to fill. Some sales professionals volunteer for an interview or refer the recruiter to someone they know who is looking for a sales position.
Next, sales executive recruiters go through a screening process. They go through all the potential candidates and do preliminary interviews to narrow down the candidates before scheduling interviews with the company’s hiring manager, looking for salespeople.
