Sales Recruit UK is a specialist sales recruitment agency. We work across Kilmarnock and Ayrshire for businesses where commercial fit matters as much as sales experience — manufacturers, engineering firms, food and drink producers and industrial suppliers hiring salespeople into roles that demand real understanding of how their market actually buys.
Kilmarnock anchors Ayrshire’s manufacturing and engineering economy, with a base of food and drink production, industrial manufacturing and engineering businesses serving customers across the west of Scotland and beyond. Our placement work in the area concentrates on Industrial & Manufacturing, Engineering and FMCG — 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 Country Lead level, across field sales, key accounts, business development, technical sales and commercial leadership.
Every brief is run by a senior consultant. 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.
Kilmarnock and Ayrshire feed our industrial sales recruitment in Scotland.
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 Kilmarnock and Ayrshire. 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. Ayrshire’s manufacturing, engineering and food-and-drink businesses sit slightly off the Central Belt recruiting radar, which means the strongest local sales talent is often missed by agencies that only work Glasgow and Edinburgh — gaps we close because we actively map the west-of-Scotland market rather than waiting for applications. 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 Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Hamilton, Coatbridge and beyond. If you are looking for sales recruitment in Kilmarnock or further afield, contact our team for an initial conversation.
