Denver Sales Recruiters: Finding The Perfect Fit For Your Team

  • Written by Business Daily Media



Take a drive through Denver, and it’s hard not to come across a “we are hiring” or “need help” sign at the front of an organization. The labor shortage is real, and every industry is affected by it. Many organizations are closing locations and cutting hours due to a lack of labor in Denver. 

A recent survey found that Denver ranks among those cities where small businesses actively hiring are facing the most trouble finding workers. As many as 60.9% of businesses are experiencing difficulties hiring talent to fill vacant positions. The reason? Some are demanding high compensation, whereas others want more flexibility. 

Are you, too, struggling to find a sales representative that can make your company grow? If yes, here’s a solution: instead of hiring a sales representative that resigns within a few months, why not hire a recruiter? 

Denver sales recruiters are helping companies hire passionate sales representatives specializing in various areas. Whether you’re looking for an entry-level professional or a veteran, a sales recruiter will help you hire the right talent. On that note, here are four tips that will help you find the right sales recruiter for your company: 

1. Decide Whether You’re Looking for a Long-Term Employee or Temporary Contractor

Before anything else, decide which type of recruiter you are looking for. To determine, take into consideration whether you’re seeking a temporary contractor or a long-term employee

You should go for a staffing firm if you are hiring sales recruiters for temp-to-perm or solely temporary positions on an hourly basis. Staffing agencies often hire candidates and contract them out to businesses while charging a percentage of the hourly cost as a service markup. 

But if your goal is to hire a sales representative for the long term, you must search for permanent placement recruiting firms. Such sales recruitment agencies specialize in permanent opportunities that typically include wages and perks. 

2. Reach Out to Your Professional Network

Finding a trustworthy sales recruiter is easier said than done. Even if you find one, you don’t know if they are trustworthy and live up to their promises. In that case, the best way to find a reliable sales recruiter is to ask your professional network for recommendations. 

If you know your peer has leveraged the services of a recruiting agency to hire sales recruiters, get in touch with them. Ask them for the details of the staff recruiting company and the quality of their services. You’ll surely find a reliable sales recruiter who’ll help you find the best of the best talent. 

3. Choose Between a Recruiter With a Retainer and a Contingency Model

Recruiting firms that work off of the retainer model charge a monthly sum or collect a small fee for helping you fill the vacant position by finding the right talent. Conversely, firms working on a contingency basis charge money only when hires are successfully retained. 

Note that firms working off of the retainer model collect 25% to 50% of their fees upfront. The remaining balance is collected only when the role is filled. 

If you hire a recruiter that works on a contingency basis, you will pay them their fees only when the sales representative reaches a predetermined employment anniversary date. The good news is that the majority of Denver sales recruiters work on a contingency model. This is especially great for small business owners on a shoestring budget. 

In regard to sales representatives, CulverCareers suggest hiring millennials as sales representatives because of their larger influence on the market. Also, they are tech-savvy compared to older adults, so they don’t need much training when it comes to working with sales technology. 

4. Consider the Recruiter’s Overall Professionalism

Reputation is a key factor when it comes to hiring sales recruiters.

Before you seal the deal, make sure that their working process and demeanor align with the values of your company. That’s because their job doesn’t end with helping you find the people you need. Rather, it’s their role to persuade them to be a part of your company. 

From transparency to communication and relationship-building skills, a lot goes into convincing people to join your organization. 

But the question is, how’d you vet recruiters with good reputations from bad ones? It’s fairly easy. Check reviews on third-party sites like Glassdoor. If the firm has negative reviews from its own employees, that’s a red flag. 

What’s Next?

Given that Denver is facing labor shortages, hiring new talent that ticks off all the boxes of skills, experience, and qualifications is a tough task. 

Hiring such a candidate means vetting the best one from among the hundreds of applications, which is a time-intensive task. Why waste so much of your company’s valuable time and money when you can leverage the services of a sales recruiter? 

Recruiting firms only accept quality candidates who are qualified and experienced enough to tackle your clients. Prior to joining hands with any company, check reviews online on third-party sites to get a picture of their way of working. If everything seems alright, go ahead and partner with them to find the right sales representative.
