  • EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH TO FIND THE BEST: We never run job postings to find candidates. Our clients already run job postings and hire us because their postings don’t get quality applicants. Our recruiters conduct an exhaustive search and multi-channel outreach to passive candidates to find the best.
  • NOT JUST ANOTHER PLACEMENT: When you work with our firm, your job rec is not just another placement. Because we limit how many recs a recruiter can work, we find candidates faster than most firms.

How Our Sales Headhunters Find Your Ideal Hire

 

1. Sales Leadership Experience as a Foundation

salestalent.com is different from other sales headhunting firms in that a great deal of sales leadership experience stands at the core of the recruiting staff. This kind of approach basically emanates from an understanding that leading sales teams to effectively drive revenue requires significant insight and appreciation for those qualities, skills, and experiences which translate into top performance.

Salestalent.com’s founder, Mike Basso, is just such a person. Having led the building of six large sales organizations, he has shared in perhaps the most significant challenge that faces every fast-growth organization: the hunt for superior sales talent. The personal experience with the limitations of traditional job postings and the necessity to adopt a more active and personalized approach in the realm of sales recruitment urged him to take action. 

2. Multi-Channel Outreach to “Elusive Top-Tier

Salestalent.com knows posting and praying typically yields a low-quality candidate pool. The best sales performers are rarely on the job boards. salestalent.com takes it upon themselves to find out who these currently employed and successful sales stars are through passive candidate outreach. They do not scan job boards; they are too busy crushing their quotas.

To reach this “elusive top-tier” talent, salestalent.com uses a high-touch, multi-channel outreach strategy. It includes personalized emails, phone calls, leveraging LinkedIn, other platforms, and direct outreach to potential candidates. This allows them to present opportunities to candidates who might not otherwise appear on the recruiting radars of companies using traditional methods.

3. A Data-Driven Approach: The Candidate Scorecard

salestalent.com uses a rigorous candidate scorecard system in assessing possible recruits. This gives the full picture of what a candidate can deliver in terms of hard metrics and experience.

Some of the items included in such a scorecard are:

  • Quota Attainment: Consistent sales goal attainment over a period of many years shows the candidate will continue to perform.
  • Sales Ranking: Understanding an individual’s performance in relationship to peers helps frame competitiveness and drive.
  • Vertical Experience: Assessing industry and market experience for candidates ensures alignment with the client’s target customer base.
  • Deal Dynamics: Factors to be considered include average deal size, contract value, and length of sales cycle, illuminating the candidate’s capacity to negotiate the intricacies of variable sales processes.
  • Lead Generation: How the candidate sources leads for themselves by being self-sufficient, SDR-supported, or through inbound marketing showcases resourcefulness in driving new business.

4. Speed and Efficiency Do Not Override Quality

salestalent.com understands the urgency at which sales positions need to be filled. They pride themselves on how they can provide “top talent fast” through streamlining their recruitment process to hasten the search without overlooking quality. The summary of the efficient approach they have is:

  • Limited Concurrent Searches: Recruiters take on a limited amount of searches at any one time to afford greater attention and focus to the requirements of each client.
  • Extensive Network and Database: salestalent.com uses an extensive network of sales professionals developed through the company’s years of experience. This enables direct access to pre-screened pools of potential candidates, which can shorten the identification process significantly.
  • Speedy Candidate Presentation: The company concentrates on presenting the client with a chosen group of 3 to 5 passive but highly interested candidates within two weeks.

FAQs

What sets you apart from other sales headhunters?

The main difference between salestalent.com and other sales headhunting agencies is that all recruiters are former sales leaders who are experts at recruiting and vetting top passive talent. Our process ensures we only introduce top candidates with a history of success who match your ideal candidate profile.

How long does it typically take to fill a sales position?

Within approximately two weeks of starting a search, we submit vetted and interested candidates to you. Most hires happen within 30 to 45 days of the search kickoff, but the total time depends on each client’s interview process.

What is your process for finding top sales talent?

We find top sales talent who match your ideal candidate profile through high-touch, multi-channel passive candidate outreach. Unlike typical recruitment processes, we don’t rely on job postings to find candidates. Clients come to us after their postings fail to attract suitable candidates.

How specific can you get when targeting candidates?

We can get as specific as you need. Using cutting-edge technology and our experience, we routinely deliver passive candidates who very precisely match ideal candidate profiles that specify vertical experience, deal size, sales cycle, target buyer and company persona experience, and more.

What is your pricing structure or fee model?

We work on a contingent or retained model, depending on the type of role and other search criteria. We generally present you with 3 to 4 options with varying fees so that you can select the best option for your needs and budget. NOTE: We only provide permanent placement sales staffing services. We do not offer temporary sales staffing services. 

How long after search kickoff can I have qualified candidates to review?

We generally send you 3 to 5 vetted and interested candidates per position that match your ideal candidate profile and match custom scorecard requirements within two weeks and many times sooner.

Can you help with executive-level or niche sales roles?

We can help with hard-to-find specialized niche sales roles or executive-level roles. Our advanced passive candidate sourcing process and extensive sales talent network allow us to target and recruit your ideal hire.

Do you offer any guarantees or replacement policies?

All of our search packages have a replacement guarantee. The terms of the guarantee depend on which option you choose.

Can you help with confidential roles?

Yes, we can handle confidential roles. Your role will remain confidential because we never post roles publicly and don’t disclose company details in our outbound messaging.

What industries or verticals do you have the most experience in?

We are experienced in most B2B sales verticals, such as SaaS, Technology, Industrial, Medical, Advertising, Media, and Government. 

How do your insure candidates you submit are a good fit?

When working with us, we ensure that you never talk to an unqualified candidate by learning your ideal candidate profile and then developing a customized submission scorecard for your search.

Can you help us build a sales department from scratch?

Yes! Salestalent.com is uniquely positioned to help scale sales teams. All of our recruiters are former sales leaders, and our founder is a former sales executive who scaled six large sales teams with many from scratch.

What markets or regions do you recruit in?

We recruit sales and sales leadership talent anywhere in the United States and Canada. Our extensive North American database and expansive sales talent network allow us to recruit your ideal candidate regardless of where they are in the US or Canada.

Can you help us with market benchmarking for sales compensation packages?

Yes. We include sales compensation consulting and benchmarking, including market-based salary data and variable compensation planning, at no extra cost in all searches.
