Why Good Companies Lose Great Candidates

Since we’ve been placing top-tier sales talent since 2006, we've seen every hiring mistake in the book. The most common problems companies face are:

  • The process is too slow. By the time you schedule a third interview, your top candidate will have already accepted another offer.

  • There's no structure. Different interviewers ask different questions. No one knows who's evaluating what. Hiring decisions are based on "gut feel" instead of objective criteria.

  • Communication falls apart. Candidates don't hear back for weeks. Hiring managers don't give feedback. Top talent gets frustrated and moves on.

  • You can't close the deal. You finally find the perfect candidate, extend an offer, and they turn you down. You're left starting over.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help!

  • Long time-to-hire jeopardizes your ability to close the deal with great candidates

  • First-time hiring managers who need interview and evaluation training

 
 

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring Consulting

  • Recruiting = we find and present candidates to you. Consulting = we help you build the internal capability to hire more effectively on your own. Many clients use both consulting for roles they hire frequently and recruiting for specialized or hard-to-fill positions.

  • It varies based on scope. Some clients need a one-time process design. Others want ongoing support and training. We customize engagements to fit your needs and timeline.

  • If you're hiring one person per year and struggling with your process, it's worth a conversation. The cost of one bad hire typically exceeds the investment in hiring consulting.

  • Yes. While sales recruitment is our specialty, our hiring consulting applies to most roles. We've helped clients build processes for operations, customer service, marketing, and leadership positions.
