Built Around the Role

Sydney sales recruitment should start with the sales environment, not the job title.

Two positions called Business Development Manager can require completely different salespeople. One may involve outbound prospecting and short sales cycles; another may require technical credibility, strategic relationships and opportunities that develop over months.

We define the customer, sales motion, market and commercial expectations behind the role before identifying the candidate profile and building the search.

02 · Sales Motion How does revenue get created?

New business, account growth, territory development, channel sales, specification or inbound conversion.

03 · Market Where can relevant talent be found?

Direct competitors, adjacent industries, transferable sales environments and passive candidate pools.

04 · Performance What must this hire actually deliver?

Pipeline, revenue, account growth, market coverage, margin, leadership or another measurable commercial outcome.

Career Evidence What have they actually sold and achieved?

Customers, markets, sales cycle, pipeline responsibility, targets, results and the context behind those results.

02
Sales Capability How do they approach the sales work?

Prospecting, qualification, customer management, communication, commercial judgement and realistic sales situations.

03
Interview Intelligence What should the employer validate next?

Relevant strengths, possible concerns, candidate context and focused areas to probe during interview.
