what you get
What’s included in our financial sales recruitment services?
We go beyond job ads and resumes. Every engagement is built on proven frameworks, market insight, and a combined 20+ years of experience hiring sales professionals in highly regulated, performance-driven sectors.
Retained Executive Sales Search
For urgent or high-stakes roles, our retained model gives you a dedicated search partner and guaranteed shortlist delivery. We engage passive, hard-to-reach talent, manage outreach and assessment, and deliver finalists within 15 days.
Video-Led Headhunting Campaigns
We don’t rely on job boards or applicant flow. Our team builds targeted, headhunted shortlists using direct outreach, market mapping, and exclusive video pitches that get top sales talent to take notice. You’ll receive fully briefed, pre-qualified candidates within 72 hours.
Strategic Talent Mapping for Financial Sales
In high-stakes finance, the right sales hire isn’t always looking, but they should already be on your radar. We partner with banks, insurers, fintechs, and advisory firms to build live pipelines of future-fit sales talent. From Relationship Managers to BDMs and Wealth Specialists, we track, profile, and engage high performers well before vacancies arise, so when the timing’s right, they’re already halfway bought in.
Deep Candidate Assessment for Sales Performance
At Sales HQ doesn’t forward CVs – we deliver outcomes. Every candidate goes through a multi-stage assessment process focused on sales capability, deal velocity, and role alignment. We know what makes a top performer in lending, insurance, SaaS or advisory sales, because that’s all we do. You’ll only meet candidates who’ve been tested for the real demands of your environment, not just the resume keywords.
Creating Success
What makes our sales recruitment so effective?
We know what great looks like
Sales recruitment is what we do — and we know what separates high performers from average hires. Our process is built to assess real selling ability, from relationship-building to close rates, across lending, insurance, fintech and wealth. That focus is why our clients trust us to fill critical roles, fast — and get it right.
Speed without compromise
Most of our clients receive a fully briefed shortlist in under 72 hours. But speed doesn’t mean compromise, every candidate goes through structured screening, role alignment checks, and tailored outreach before you ever see a resume. That’s why we place faster - and with better long-term results.
Access to Passive Talent Others Miss
We don’t wait for candidates to apply. Using direct outreach, market mapping, and exclusive video headhunting, we connect you with high-performing salespeople who aren’t on job boards, and often aren’t even actively looking. That’s how we find talent your competitors can’t.
“If you are looking for an agency that takes the time to truly understand your business and continue delivering time after time no matter the market conditions, I would highly recommend speaking to them.”
