need the right sales recruitment partner 
Sales Talent Recruitment is an search-based recruitment company that helps you to take the guesswork out of sales hiring decisions.
If you've ever been in a position where a new recruit looked so promising and then didn't work out, you'll know what we mean. As salespeople can "look, walk and talk success" sometimes it can be easy to make a mistake. So we follow a stringent sales recruitment process to make it easier to separate the shining stars from the shooting stars.
When you are serious about your sales staffing requirement and have a definite need to hire, we recommend that you partner us to find your next sales achievers.
As you are aware, all recruiters have upfront costs when embarking on a search for a client. These costs include advertising, interviewing, testing, reference checking, and other various time and resource consuming activities. Consequently, when you engage a recruiter on a contingency basis (no find, no fee), you ultimately pay much more in order to offset these upfront costs and overheads that are incurred by the agency regardless of whether they find the right person or not.
When you engage our services, you share some of the risks and costs with us through your initial retainer investment, thus we can pass along the savings in the form of a reduced fee structure of only 9% of annual cost to company. That’s 40% lower than the average recruitment agency fee of 15% of annual CTC. Savings are substantial.
As one of South Africa’s only expert sales recruiting companies, backed by SalesBytes, our goal is to find the best possible and most suitable candidates for your company. We want to find the right sales achievers who can and will sell or lead and coach a team in your particular sales environment. Our sales development experts provide assistance with ramping up your new hires in the first few months as part of our quality service.
Share a portion of the costs, save a whole lot of money on recruiting fees AND be assured that sales specialists are working with you to find the right sales staff
How we differentiate ourselves from mainstream recruiters:
SERVICE INCLUDES EXPERT SALES ONBOARDING ASSISTANCE
As ineffective induction is cited as THE major reason why disillusioned new sales staff leave, we provide you and your new employee with clear sales induction programme guidelines. We advise and help you to ramp up your sales newbie which means more profits for you in the shortest possible time. With all the sales and sales management tools and expertise at our fingertips, we add tremendous value to you at this vital stage.
FEE STRUCTURE AND GUARANTEE
As we share part of the risk with our clients, we are able to work on a far lower fee, similar to that of an executive search/ headhunter agency. Our fees are payable in 3 stages. We will only work with you if you seek a long-term partnership for your sales recruitment needs as we get involved with the onboarding process to ensure the newbie ramps up very quickly which means we need to thoroughly understand your sales environment.

TOTALLY UPFRONT ABOUT IF WE CAN HELP YOU OR NOT
We have a clear idea on current salary trends and the level of applicants we are positioned to attract. If we feel that what you're offering is not a good match for our services, we'll advise you immediately instead of wasting your time and ours. We don't work on "commission only" positions. As we offer far more than general recruiting and invest in our profiling and onboarding prcess, our fees are non-negotiable until we have placed at least 3 people with you.
JOB PROFILING
We collaborate with you to create detailed sales position specifications - whether you're looking for a new business developer, key account manager, internal sales, service consultant or sales team leader. We clarify the competencies that we know are essential in your specific sales environment. We can advise you on any pre-requisites you may have in your existing profile that could be eliminating potential sales stars unnecessarily.
CLIENT VISITS
Upon acceptance of our terms, a senior recruitment consultant visits your premises (Gauteng only), meets the team and the manager. We make sure that the person we introduce to you will fit in well with the culture of your team.
PREMIER CANDIDATE DATABASE
We may be able to help you within a few days with the perfect candidate. Thousands of top salespeople and sales managers have already been through our profiling process and are just waiting to make the right career move when the right opportunity arises.
JUNIOR POSITIONS
Instead of eliminating someone because of their CV or lack of experience, our recruitment process gives us the advantage of identifying previously disadvantaged potential sales talent who, with additional training and coaching will thrive. So if you're looking to develop junior staff, perhaps ex call-centre agents who want to make a break into external sales, we have an excellent talent pool.
SPOT-ON ADVERTISING
In addition to our extensive sales industry network and the long-arm of SalesBytes' marketing engine, we design and place ads on the web and in newspaper or specialist publications. We attract candidates currently in the market and proactively approach people we think will succeed in your sales environment
DETAILED CANDIDATE COMPETENCY SCREENING
Short-listed candidates take an in-depth online sales assessment . Provides insights into competencies, strengths and skills of the candidate.
INTENSIVE CV SCREENING
We carefully screen CV’s to ensure that we do not waste your time with interviewing applicants who do not meet your requirements.
TELEPHONIC INTERVIEWS
We further screen candidates to assess their telephonic manner, self-confidence and rapport-building abilities – all basic sales competencies for most positions.
JOINT FACE TO FACE INTERVIEWS BY A CERTIFIED AND REGISTERED SALES PROFESSIONAL AND YOUR MANAGER
Our senior recruiters are all well-qualified to interview fellow sales folks. We interrogate CVs, check sales history, verify achievements. We interview with you at your request, as if they were joining our sales team - you take the lead, we ask additional questions. This is when we use the info gleaned at our visit to your premises to make sure there will be a fit.
ONLY THE BEST CANDIDATES
You’re not bombarded with tons of CV’s – only those of candidates who can and will sell in your environment
REFERENCE, CREDIT AND CRIMINAL CHECKS
Our rule is at least one reference check with the CV. Another safety measure – verifying any sales target claims /awards as discussed at the interview . We email professionally presented CV’s, and a personal introduction/insight from the expert who conducted the telephonic interview.
SALES ONBOARDING
As ineffective induction is one of the major reasons disillusioned new sales staff leave, we provide you and your new employee with sales induction programme guidelines. We advise and help you to ramp up your sales newbie which means more profits for you in the shortest possible time.
REGULAR POST-RECRUITMENT FOLLOW-UP
Follow up during the first 90-180 days with both the newbie and the manager responsible so that we can facilitate open discussions as quickly as possible and keep the newbie on track for sales success.
