We know the best sales professionals are rare and they are extremely difficult to find through traditional recruitment methods. The reality is: successful salespeople are not looking for work, they are working, and need to be proactively recruited.

We complete an exhaustive search of all relevant candidates working within your industry, contact them directly, and pitch them on your opportunity. We then interview and assess the best talent before presentation to our clients.

If you’re looking to hire Great Salespeople, with proven talent, anywhere in the world, we invite you to connect and schedule a recruitment discovery call.

Five-Stage Sales Team Scaling System©

You don’t just need a hire — you need a sales team that closes.
We go beyond recruitment — we build high-performance sales teams.
At The Sales Experts, our team of expert headhunters — each with over a decade of experience — works alongside proprietary AI Agents to deliver stronger, faster results. Our proven five-stage process doesn’t just fill vacancies — it fuels growth.

  1. Stage One: Establish Search Parameters
  2. We begin by digging deep into the realities of your business and role:

    • What outcomes truly define success?
    • Where are your current challenges?
    • Which skills and competencies matter most?

    We create a tailored role and candidate blueprint that aligns with your objectives, success metrics, and company context, and we’re not afraid to challenge assumptions if it leads to better outcomes.

  3. Stage Two: Determine Search Strategy
  4. We don’t just search — we strategically map the market:

    • Targeted outreach based on track record and potential
    • Cross-sector insight to expand the pool
    • Tap into off-market referrals and hidden talent

    This approach creates a high-quality, tightly matched longlist, giving you real options from day one.

  5. Stage Three: Conduct an Exhaustive Search and Assessment
  6. We assess, not just screen. Every candidate undergoes:

    • Structured, competency-based interviews
    • Proprietary Sales Hunter Intelligence Evaluation©
    • Culture and performance alignment scoring

    Only those who meet the brief and show exceptional potential make the shortlist, saving you time and increasing the chance of a successful hire.

  7. Stage Four: Present Finalists for Client Interviews
  8. You receive:

    • A curated shortlist with full Sales Assessment Profiles
    • Original, unedited CVs for full transparency
    • Informed references and third-party market insight

    We make your decision process easier and smarter.

  9. Stage Five: Complete Search & Onboarding Support
  10. We stay with you beyond the hire:

    • Manage the offer and contract stages
    • Provide onboarding support and regular check-ins (30/60/90 days)
    • Deliver post-placement reviews to ensure lasting success

    With us, you get a partner, not just a placement.

What clients say about us

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Boomerang Media has used The Sales Experts for senior sales recruitment over the past year during what has been an extremely challenging time for recruitment. Their approach is thoroughly professional, consultative, diligent, has scored notable successes for this company and has proved highly cost-effective. We intend to continue using Wyn and his team going forward. I cannot recommend them enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Working with The Sales Experts has been phenomenal! Right off the bat, the search for our resources in the US and Europe has been easier and way faster compared to the other recruiting firms we’ve contracted to help find our needed niche resources (not just sales by the way). We’ve been really impressed with TSE’s speed, resourcefulness, and the quality of the candidates that have been endorsed to us. And with a very professional team, it is a real pleasure to work with them!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Sales Experts were an amazing partner in our search for highly talented Business Development VP’s to head up our sales team. They vetted all possible candidates and presented options that were well prepared and on brief. We hired 3 outstanding executives. All in this was a great experience for Spark and I would not hesitate to recommend The Sales Experts to anyone looking to find experienced sales professional.
