A sales recruitment agency will submit you for any vacancies which are notified to the agency by employers.

Why do Employers use Sales Recruitment Agencies?

• If the company has no expertise in sales then they might wish to recruit through a sales job recruitment agency.
• Minimise publicity when recruiting new staff in sales while losing staff in another area.
• Hide recruitment movements from their competitors.
• Have help with the process of recruiting new sales staff if they do not have the people to deal with it.

What do you Gain from Signing up to a Sales Recruitment Agency?

• Sales recruitment agencies are specialised in sales jobs so will have contacts in the field you want to work in.
• The employer pays the agency to fill the position which means you are not charged for basic use of sales recruitment agencies.
• There will be additional services open to you if you want to pay extra. These services might include personality testing or advice on preparing a CV.
• You can work through contract sales agencies to build up relevant short term experience with several employers.
• When you register with a sales recruitment agency you should remember that the agency’s primary client is the employer and not you.

General Advice for Using Sales Recruitment Agencies

• Supply a CV which is relevant to the sector you want to work in.
• Tell the agency any important factors that would influence whether you would take a job or not.
• Keep chasing the agency for progress, call them on a regular basis to make sure the ball is rolling.
• Do not rely on sales recruitment agencies to find you a job. You should still actively job seek yourself.
