FAQs

Business development FAQs.

Because hiring salespeople who actually deliver is tough. We’ll help you cut through the noise and find people who know how to build pipelines, win meetings and close revenue — not just talk the talk. Whether you're growing your outbound team or adding experienced closers, we’ll help you find people who match your goals and your sales culture.

We hire across all levels of sales and business development, including:

 

  • Sales Development Representatives (SDRs)

  • Business Development Managers

  • Account Executives

  • Partnership Managers

  • Commercial Leads

  • Sales Team Leads / Heads of Sales

 

We’ll tailor the search around your sales model — whether you’re outbound-heavy, product-led, consultative, or looking to land bigger strategic deals.

Most roles are filled within 10 working days from briefing to offer. We’ll shortlist pre-qualified candidates who are motivated, relevant, and ready to deliver — so you're not wasting time on CVs that don't match what you're looking for.

Just submit your vacancy and one of our business development specialists will get in touch. We’ll learn about your sales goals, current team, and what kind of person you need — then we’ll handle everything from outreach to offer stage.

Absolutely. We take the time to understand who you sell to, your product, your average deal size and your sales cycle. That means we can find candidates who’ve sold into similar markets, handled similar objections, and will ramp up quickly.

Are you ready to find your next hire?
