About Sales Recruit UK

We’re a specialist sales recruitment agency working with technical, industrial and commercial businesses across the UK. Founded in 2009, we’ve spent over fifteen years recruiting salespeople into sectors where commercial fit matters as much as sales experience.

Our consultants are based in Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow, with active candidate networks across Scotland , England, and Wales.

Sales Recruitment That Fits How You Sell

Most sales hires don’t fail because the candidate was wrong. They fail because the role was never properly understood — by the recruiter, or the hiring manager, or both.

We work differently. Before we approach the market, we build a brief around how your business actually sells: your customers, your route to market, your sales cycle, your pricing, the kind of buyer your salespeople will sit in front of. The shortlist follows from that.

Three or four candidates who fit, not eight who fill a CV pile.

Specialist Sales Recruiters for the Sectors We Know Best

Sales recruitment isn’t one job. Selling specification into building products distribution is nothing like selling SaaS to a CTO. Selling capital equipment into manufacturing is nothing like selling FMCG into the grocery multiples.

Our consultants have spent years inside these markets. We recruit deepest in:

Construction and building products — specification sales, merchant channel, contractor sales, technical distribution
Industrial and manufacturing — capital equipment, process industries, flow control, automation, technical sales
Technical and B2B technology — hardware, infrastructure, B2B SaaS into industrial and commercial sectors
Electrical, lighting and M&E — wholesale, manufacturer sales, lighting specification
FMCG and commercial — field sales, key accounts, category management

Whatever sector you sell into, we’ll know your market before the first call.

How We Hire Salespeople That Stick

Understand How Your Business Sells

Before we look at candidates, we look at your business. Your customers, your sales cycle, your route to market, your existing team. The brief comes from your commercial reality, not a generic job spec.

Build A Focused Shortlist

Three or four candidates who fit, not eight who fill a CV pile. Every candidate is interviewed by us before you see them. We tell you why we put each one forward and where we have any doubts.

Stay Involved Through To Placement

We manage the process end to end — interviews, feedback, offer negotiation, counter-offers, references. We tell you straight when something's not working and when it is.
