Sales Recruit UK, long known across Scotland as Sales Recruit Scotland, is a specialist sales recruitment agency based in Lanarkshire, on Glasgow’s doorstep. We recruit salespeople and sales leaders for businesses across Glasgow, Lanarkshire and the West of Scotland: manufacturers, distributors, service providers and technology businesses hiring into roles that demand a real understanding of how their market buys.
Glasgow sits at the centre of Scotland’s industrial economy, with strong concentrations of building products manufacturing, engineering services, the renewables supply chain and process industries. Our Glasgow sales recruitment work concentrates on Construction, Engineering, Energy & Renewables and Industrial & Manufacturing, sectors where the recruiter needs to understand the route to market, the buyer, the sales cycle and the technical content as well as the salesperson does. We hire from individual contributors through to Sales Director and Managing Director level, across field sales, key accounts, business development, technical sales and commercial leadership.
Other Glasgow-area clients we recruit for include ABT Engineering, HPD Supplies and Decco.
Roles we have advertised in the Glasgow area this year include a Sales Director in Glasgow, a Trainee Branch Manager in Hillington and Trade Counter Sales in Clydebank.
Our 2026 UK Sales Salary Guide places Scotland and Northern Ireland around 5% below the national average for sales pay, but that discount is driven by rural Scotland and Northern Ireland, not the Central Belt. Commercial roles in Glasgow should be benchmarked close to the national rate. The full analysis is in our regional sales pay guide.
Every Glasgow brief is run by Robert McGougan or Derek Anderson personally. The fifty-plus years of combined sales recruitment experience in the firm sit on the search itself, not on the introduction call. A research function supports the sourcing work, but the consultant who scopes your brief is the consultant who shortlists. There are no account managers and no junior researchers between you and the senior consultant on the brief.
Glasgow sits alongside our neighbouring sales recruitment coverage across Lanarkshire and our sales recruitment in Edinburgh.

We build shortlists around how your business actually sells — your customers, your route to market, your sales cycle and your buyer. Three or four candidates who fit, each one delivered with the SRUK Fit Score that scores them against your specific brief.
We work with sales professionals across Glasgow and the wider Central Belt. Live vacancies are listed on our jobs board, but most of our placements come from conversations with candidates we already know. Send your CV and we will be in touch when something fits.
Most sales hires fail because the role was never properly understood — by the recruiter, by the hiring manager, or both. We work differently. Before we approach the market, we build a brief around how your business actually sells, then run a structured search against that brief. Every shortlisted candidate is scored against six brief-specific dimensions and arrives in the SRUK CV — a single document combining the candidate’s career history, the SRUK Fit Score, and consultant commentary on each scoring dimension. Three or four candidates who fit, all comparable like-for-like, all read in thirty minutes rather than an afternoon.
We work across the UK and run searches into other major commercial cities including Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff & South Wales, Coventry and Leeds.
