If you have worked with us before as Sales Recruit Scotland, you are in the right place. Sales Recruit Scotland was the trading name we used across the Scottish market for many years; today the same team, the same office in Bellshill and the same service operates under the Sales Recruit UK name, with a national footprint that now covers England and Wales as well as Scotland. The phone number, the team and the service are unchanged — 01698 464 099.
Sales Recruit UK — for many years known across Scotland as Sales Recruit Scotland — is a specialist sales recruitment agency with its head office in Bellshill, just outside Glasgow. We have spent over twenty years recruiting salespeople for businesses across Scotland — from the Central Belt’s construction, industrial and manufacturing base to the energy and renewables economy of the north east and Highlands, the life sciences and technology cluster of the east, and the food and drink producers found the length of the country.
Scotland’s commercial market has its own dynamics, its own buyers and its own networks, and the salespeople who succeed here tend to be known quantities within them. Our placement work spans Construction, Energy, Renewables & Utilities, Technology & SaaS, Industrial & Manufacturing, FMCG and Engineering — 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.
We recruit for businesses the length and breadth of Scotland. Wherever you are, the brief is run by a senior consultant who knows the local commercial market:
Scotland’s commercial market has distinct sector economies, and we run dedicated searches in each:
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. Scotland is a market where commercial reputations travel fast and the best salespeople are rarely on the open market — which is exactly why a structured, senior-led search that maps the talent rather than waiting for applications consistently outperforms the job-board approach most agencies still rely on. 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, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff & South Wales and Leeds.
