How we help construction companies hire better salespeople, faster
Sales recruiters for construction firms that want to grow smarter, not just harder
In construction, trust wins work but capability keeps it. At Sales HQ, we help contractors, suppliers and service providers hire salespeople who don’t just chase leads, they win the deals that matter.
We understand the pressures of quoting, margins, site delivery, and client expectations. That’s why our recruitment approach is hands-on, fast, and targeted, built to deliver candidates who know the language of the industry and can hit the ground running.
Work with sales recruiters who understand construction
We’ve helped builders, suppliers and subcontractors across Australia hire the BDMs, Account Managers and Sales Leads who win repeat work and drive long-term growth.
From the job site to the boardroom, our hires know how to quote, close and deliver.

Retained Recruitment – built for high-impact sales hires
When you’re hiring someone to drive millions in contract value, you can’t afford to get it wrong. Our retained model gives you dedicated resourcing, guaranteed delivery and full market coverage — so you reach the right people, not just the ones applying online.
It’s how we help you hire proactive, well-connected salespeople who understand the bidding process, the margins, and the real-world pressures of site delivery.
We pitch your business — not just the role
The best salespeople aren’t looking. That’s why we run custom video campaigns that showcase your project pipeline, culture and opportunity, designed to cut through and attract high-performers from your competitors.
Expect fully briefed, site-ready candidates who already understand your client base before you speak.
Build your bench before you need it
Whether you’re gearing up for new tenders or planning regional expansion, we map the best talent in your segment — so you’re ready when the project lands.
Our pipelining service gives you visibility and confidence — and first call when the right person is ready to move.
We screen for real-world fit — not just resumes
From quoting to closing, we assess every candidate for sector-specific sales capability. We look at deal value, site knowledge, pricing acumen, and client relationships, not just whether they can talk.
No generic sales fluff. Just qualified, experienced candidates who can win and retain business in your space.

We don’t rely on ads. We find top talent through outbound headhunting, meaning you access candidates your competitors don’t even know are available.
I have with Sales HQ from both a job hunter and staff recruitment perspective and I recommend Adam and the crew at Sales HQ in the highest order if you’re looking to either find or fill a position.
