Hiring a great salesperson is hard. Building a high-performing sales team that consistently delivers results? That’s a whole new level.
At The Sales Experts, we understand that the best sales professionals aren’t browsing job boards — they’re out there closing deals, delivering results, and being handsomely rewarded to stay where they are. That’s why traditional recruitment methods often fall short. You don’t need generic CVs — you need targeted, high-impact talent who can drive growth from day one.
That’s exactly what our Five-Stage Sales Team Scaling System© is built to deliver. It’s not just recruitment. It’s a structured, strategic process that transforms how you hire, onboard, and retain top salespeople — faster and with less risk.
Here’s how it works:
1. Establish Search Parameters
Every successful search starts with clarity. We begin by immersing ourselves in your business, not just the job spec, but the deeper realities of your market, commercial objectives, and internal challenges.
We ask questions that reveal what success really looks like for your organisation:
• What are the outcomes this hire needs to achieve?
• Where are the gaps in your current team?
• Which behaviours and competencies actually drive performance in your context?
The result is a clear, tailored brief that maps out not just responsibilities, but also success criteria and the DNA of the candidate who will thrive in your environment. We’re not afraid to challenge assumptions or redefine requirements if it leads to better outcomes for you.
2. Determine Search Strategy
We don’t just search — we map and target. Our team, each with over a decade of headhunting experience, works in tandem with proprietary AI Agents to identify the strongest talent in your market — even if they’re not actively looking.
Our strategy includes:
• Targeted outreach based on track record and potential• Sector-specific and cross-industry insights to widen the pool
• Tapping into off-market referrals and trusted networks
This creates a tightly matched longlist that brings you real options from day one — people worth your time, not just candidates filling a quota.
3. Conduct an Exhaustive Search and Assessment
While many recruiters stop at screening, we go several layers deeper. Every shortlisted candidate is rigorously assessed through our Sales Hunter Intelligence Evaluation©, a proprietary, structured evaluation designed to uncover not just experience but true performance potential.
Each candidate undergoes:
• Competency-based interviews mapped to your success metrics
• Culture fit and commercial alignment scoring
• Optional aptitude and personality testing for leadership or senior roles
We don’t just ask what someone has done — we test their ability to replicate that success for you. Only those who meet your brief and show the ability to thrive in your environment are presented.
4. Present Finalists for Client Interviews
When it’s time to meet candidates, we make the process seamless and transparent.
You receive:
• A focused shortlist of top-tier talent
• Full Sales Assessment Profiles, including insights from our evaluations
• Unedited CVs (we don’t rewrite or embellish profiles — you see the candidate exactly as they are)
• Referencing and insider market feedback, where appropriate
You get all the information you need to make a confident hiring decision — fast.
5. Complete the Search and Support Onboarding
Our partnership doesn’t end at offer acceptance. We stay engaged to ensure onboarding is smooth and your new hire delivers results from day one.
We:
• Manage the offer, negotiation, and contract stages
• Provide 30/60/90-day onboarding support and check-ins
• Conduct post-placement reviews to ensure long-term fit and ROI
We’re not just filling a role — we’re helping you build capability. Our commitment to quality means that if something’s not working, we’re already aware and working with you to fix it.
