How our FMCG Sales Recruitment Finds Salespeople Who Actually Move Product
In FMCG, success is measured in facings, volume, and trade execution.
You need sales talent who can own the aisle, from field reps that lift shelf compliance to account managers who secure margin and ranging.
At Sales HQ, we specialise in recruiting high-impact salespeople for FMCG brands across Australia. From challenger startups to blue-chip multinationals, we know the difference between a solid rep and a shelf-moving superstar and we know how to find them.
Sales Headhunting that cuts through the noise.
We don’t rely on job ads. We go direct. We use sector expertise, video headhunting and performance-led screening to deliver people who hit the ground running.

Retained Recruitment
We lead retained searches for senior FMCG sales roles, from National Account Managers to Sales Directors. Every campaign is run by a specialist who understands grocery buyers, trade spend, and account ownership. We don’t just find great candidates, we find leaders who deliver incremental growth.
Direct Video Outreach
We reach top-performing FMCG salespeople currently working with your competitors, using personalised, branded video messages that get noticed. It’s how we engage busy, high-value reps who aren’t looking but are open to the right opportunity.
Live Market Mapping
Need to build future capacity? We map and track top BDMs, Territory Managers, National Account Execs and rising leaders across channels, so when a gap appears, we already have your shortlist warm and ready.
Sales Capability Screening
We assess more than experience. Our FMCG recruiters benchmark every candidate against commercial traits that matter: influence in-store, understanding of trade mechanics, call cycle execution, and relationship building with retailers.
