CLEANPEAK
Appointment Setter Placed
The Search Another Agency Couldn’t Finish
CleanPeak needed an Appointment Setter in Melbourne. The first recruitment process didn’t deliver. Sales HQ took over the search and filled the role.
After the placement, CleanPeak engaged Sales HQ to recruit a Business Development Manager for New Zealand, with a Victorian BDM planned once that role is filled.
ABOUT CLEANPEAK
CleanPeak Energy develops, builds and operates solar, battery and distributed energy projects for commercial and industrial customers.
As the business continued to grow, they needed to strengthen their sales function to support expansion into new markets and increase new business generation.
The challenge
CleanPeak initially engaged another recruitment agency to recruit an Appointment Setter for their Melbourne team. After struggling to find candidates with the right experience and quality, they approached Sales HQ to take over the search.
The role required someone with strong outbound sales experience who could consistently generate qualified appointments for the Business Development team. The previous process had left the position vacant and put extra pressure on the existing sales team.
They needed:
- Strong outbound sales experience
- Someone who could generate qualified appointments for the BDM team
- A recruitment partner who understood sales talent and could move quickly
Services Used: permanent recruitment, targeted headhunting
The solution
Sales HQ conducted a targeted headhunting campaign, focusing on experienced appointment setters and outbound sales professionals with proven business development capability.
Rather than relying solely on job advertisements, we approached passive candidates, screened them, and presented a shortlist before filling the role.
The results
- Placed the Appointment Setter for the Melbourne team after previous recruitment efforts had failed
- Enabled the sales team to increase outbound activity and support continued growth
- Built a relationship that led to the next briefs
Following the placement, CleanPeak engaged Sales HQ to recruit a Business Development Manager for New Zealand, with plans to recruit an additional Victorian BDM once that position has been filled.
The Results
Business impact
A vacant Melbourne seat is filled, outbound activity can increase, and the next expansion hires — New Zealand, then Victoria — are already briefed.
