St. Louis Sales Recruitment that Finds Top Talent

We don't start with job descriptions. We start by understanding your company and sales environment:

• What are your core values and company culture like?

• What's your sales culture?

• What is your typical sales cycle (transactional or complex B2B)?

• Is your product or service pricing top-tier or low-cost in the market?

• What's your compensation structure? Base vs. commission mix?

• Who are your top performers, and what makes them successful?

• What's the territory? Local, regional, or national travel?

This creates a hiring template that captures the specific competencies, behaviors, and motivations required for success in your organization.

We don't post job ads. We identify and approach passive candidates—candidates who are currently employed and performing well, who would consider a move for the right opportunity. 

We use targeted outreach, industry connections, and our network to find these candidates—not job boards.

Every candidate goes through:

• Multiple phone conversations to understand career trajectory and motivations

• Video interview to assess communication skills and cultural fit

• Assessment of why they've moved in the past and what would make them move again

• Review of their “must-haves” and career path goals to make sure both sides align

If there's not a strong mutual fit, we don't force it. Instead of a pile of resumes to sift through, you'll get highly qualified candidates who are genuinely interested and genuinely qualified.

We don't disappear after submitting candidates. We:

• Prep candidates before interviews so they show up ready

• Gather feedback from both sides quickly to keep momentum

• Help navigate offer negotiations and compensation discussions

• Stay involved through onboarding to ensure a smooth transition and continuous follow-up after

Description text goes hereTimelines can vary based on several factors, including how specific the role requirements are, location, the competitiveness of the compensation package, what differentiates your company in the market, and the length of your internal hiring process.

That said, most searches move quickly once we align on the ideal profile. In many cases, clients begin seeing qualified candidates within the first few weeks, with total time-to-hire depending on interview flow and decision-making speed. Our goal is always to balance speed with quality—delivering candidates who are the right long-term fit, not just the fastest placement.

We specialize in direct-hire sales and sales leadership positions across a wide range of industries. Our expertise includes:

Sales Roles:

• Outside Sales Executives

• Inside Sales Representatives

• Account Executives

• Business Development Representatives

• Territory Sales Managers

Sales Leadership Positions:

• VP of Sales

• Sales Managers

• Regional Sales Managers

• Director of Sales

We work primarily with B2B companies. All positions we fill are direct-hire roles where candidates become W-2 employees of your company from day one—we do not place contract or temp-to-hire positions.

Our fees vary depending on the specifics of each search. In sales recruiting, compensation structures can differ widely—base salary versus variable pay, guaranteed versus earned compensation, role seniority, and whether the search is contingent or engaged all factor into pricing.

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, we align our fees with the scope of the role and the level of partnership required. This ensures our incentives are aligned with delivering the right hire. We’re always transparent about pricing and walk through fee structure upfront before moving forward.

Yes. If a placement doesn't work out within the guarantee period, we'll replace them at no additional fee. We want you to be confident in our placements.

You're not alone. Common complaints we hear include recruiters who disappear after submitting their “low-hanging fruit” candidates, send unqualified resumes just to "show activity," or don't understand the sales role they're recruiting for. Our approach is different—we act as true partners and stay involved throughout the entire process.

Yes. While we're based in St. Louis and have deep connections in the local market, we recruit sales talent throughout North America. About 40% of our placements are outside the St. Louis region.

Stay in touch. We work with clients who are actively hiring and clients who want to build a pipeline of talent for future needs. Even if you're not hiring today, we can keep you informed about market trends and top talent we come across.

Absolutely. Top-grading—replacing underperformers with A-players—is one of our specialties. We handle these searches with discretion and confidentiality.
