What is a sales recruiter?

A sales recruiter looks for, qualifies, and places professional sales talent. Also referred to as ‘headhunters,’ sales recruiters specialize in finding sales personnel and connecting them with companies that need them. Their job duties include conducting talent interviews, taking the time to process candidates, and building a network of professional connections. They look for front-line sales personnel, as well as people who excel in sales leadership. The qualifications to have a career as a sales recruiter include a degree in business, finance, marketing, or a related field, as well as relationship-building skills.
