Sales Recruitment Pricing & Engagement Options Exclusive or Non-Exclusive. The Same Structured Recruitment Journey.
Choose the recruitment structure that best suits your business while retaining the specialist search, screening, candidate assessment and hiring support needed to make a stronger sales appointment.
Exclusive or Non-Exclusive Choose the engagement structure that fits your internal recruitment strategy.
Placement Fee on a Successful Appointment The placement fee becomes payable when you elect to proceed with a suitable candidate.
Bespoke Sales Screening Included Online assessment is tailored to the actual role, sales environment and industry.
Replacement Protection Placements are supported by a replacement guarantee in accordance with the agreed engagement terms.
Choose how you want to engage us. Not how much recruitment support you receive.
Both options use the same sales-focused recruitment methodology. The main difference is whether Sales Channel Solutions is appointed as the exclusive recruitment partner for the agreed search or whether you retain a non-exclusive structure.
Clear commercial terms before the recruitment search begins.
Your engagement structure, recruitment fee and any commencement requirements are agreed before we begin. The placement fee itself is tied to you choosing to proceed with a suitable candidate.
Fee Agreed Upfront
You know the agreed recruitment fee and engagement structure before the search is activated.
Commencement Deposit
Where an agreed commencement deposit applies, it forms part of the recruitment fee and is credited toward the final placement fee.
Placement Fee on Appointment
The placement fee balance becomes payable when you choose to proceed with a suitable candidate, in accordance with the agreed engagement terms.
Replacement Guarantee
Placements are supported by an agreed replacement guarantee to provide additional protection after the appointment.
A structured recruitment service from role definition through to post-placement support.
Exclusive and Non-Exclusive engagement changes the commercial structure of the search. It does not turn our candidate assessment into a basic CV-forwarding service.
Role & Business Profiling
Clarify the sales role, customer market, territory, targets, reporting structure, sales process, culture and what success actually looks like.
Recruitment Strategy
Define the candidate profile, search market, adjacent talent pools, messaging, sourcing strategy and recruitment priorities.
Talent Market Mapping
Identify relevant candidate markets, competitor talent, transferable industries and where suitable people are most likely to be found.
Active + Passive Search
Search beyond job-board applicants and engage suitable employed sales professionals where their background aligns with the opportunity.
Sales-Focused Screening
Review experience, motivation, communication, sales evidence, role alignment and the candidate's ability to operate in the required sales environment.
Bespoke Online Sales Assessment
Candidates complete online sales screening designed specifically around the role, sales expectations and industry rather than a generic one-size-fits-all test.
Candidate Presentation
Suitable candidates are presented with practical context and assessment information to support a more informed interview decision.
Interview & Selection Support
Coordinate interviews, candidate feedback and progression while helping maintain clear communication across the hiring process.
Verification & References
Relevant reference and background verification can be completed before the appointment stage in accordance with the recruitment engagement.
Offer Management
Support salary and offer discussions, candidate communication, acceptance and practical coordination through the final decision stage.
Candidate Transition
Help manage notice periods, resignation risk, counter-offers and communication before the candidate joins the business.
Post-Placement Support
Support onboarding and maintain contact after commencement, including structured early placement reviews.
Bespoke online sales screening built around the actual role.
Sales roles are not interchangeable. A new-business BDM should not be assessed in exactly the same way as an Account Manager, Technical Salesperson, Territory Manager or Sales Leader.
Support does not stop when a candidate is introduced.
Our recruitment journey follows the hire from initial role definition through candidate search and assessment, interview and offer management, commencement and structured post-placement support.
Understand the Requirement
Initial enquiry, discovery, role profiling and clarification of the business, team, sales environment and hiring objective.
Build the Search Strategy
Candidate profile development, search planning, talent-market mapping, adjacent-industry consideration and campaign positioning.
Search, Screen & Assess
Candidate attraction, passive-market outreach, recruiter screening and bespoke online sales assessment against the role and industry.
Present & Interview
Focused candidate presentation, client review, interview coordination, feedback management and candidate progression.
Verify, Offer & Transition
Relevant checks, offer support, candidate communication, notice-period management and transition into the business.
Onboard & Review
Commencement support followed by structured early-placement reviews and ongoing recruitment partnership where required.
Same recruitment capability. Different engagement structure.
You do not lose the role-specific assessment and hiring support simply because you choose a Non-Exclusive recruitment arrangement.
Questions about our sales recruitment fees and engagement options.
When is the placement fee payable?
The placement fee is linked to your decision to proceed with a suitable candidate. Any agreed commencement deposit forms part of the recruitment fee and is credited toward the placement fee. Exact invoicing and payment terms are confirmed in the engagement agreement before the search begins.
What is the difference between Exclusive and Non-Exclusive recruitment?
Under an Exclusive recruitment engagement, Sales Channel Solutions is appointed to lead the agreed recruitment search. Under a Non-Exclusive engagement, you can retain other recruitment channels while also using our specialist sales recruitment service. Both options include structured screening and bespoke role-and-industry sales assessment.
Is the online sales screening assessment included in both options?
Yes. Bespoke online sales screening forms part of both Exclusive and Non-Exclusive recruitment. The assessment is tailored around the role, industry and sales environment rather than using the same generic test for every candidate.
Do you search for passive candidates?
Yes. Depending on the role and candidate market, the search can include targeted approaches to employed sales professionals as well as suitable candidates who are actively looking for a new opportunity.
Do you provide a replacement guarantee?
Yes. Placements are supported by a replacement guarantee in accordance with the eligibility requirements and conditions contained in the agreed recruitment engagement terms.
Do I pay a placement fee just to receive resumes or interview candidates?
No. The placement fee is tied to proceeding with a suitable candidate rather than simply receiving candidate profiles or conducting interviews. Any agreed commencement deposit is dealt with separately under the engagement terms and is credited toward the placement fee.
What does the recruitment service include after I choose candidates to interview?
We continue to support interview coordination, feedback, relevant verification and references, offer discussions, candidate communication, transition into the business and structured post-placement follow-up.
What sales roles can you recruit?
Sales Channel Solutions recruits across Business Development Manager, Account Manager, Territory Manager, Sales Representative, Technical Sales, Sales Manager, Sales Director and other sales and commercial roles across relevant NSW markets.
