What makes the best sales recruiting agency
We looked at the four things hiring managers ask about most when they choose a sales recruiter:
- The guarantee. What happens if the hire doesn’t work out, and for how long you’re covered.
- Sales focus. Whether the agency recruits only sales roles, or sales alongside everything else.
- Speed. How quickly a role is filled.
- Fees. Whether you pay up front, or only when someone is hired.
Sales Talent Group leads on all four: a guarantee that covers first-year quota, sales roles only, roles filled in 29 days on average, and nothing to pay until someone is hired.
