Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Sales Talent Inc. ran a retained search to fill our National Sales Director position, a hard-to-source role requiring a proven hunter in the retail and convenience-store fixtures space. The scope ran the full cycle. Up front, Ashley and Heather worked with us to define the candidate profile, build a scorecard against our must-haves, and identify the right talent pools. From there they sourced and screened candidates against that profile, delivered shortlists of qualified people rather than volume, and coordinated interview scheduling across our team and two sites. Key deliverables: a defined role brief and candidate scorecard; a vetted slate of qualified, interview-ready candidates; ongoing shortlist management and interview coordination; and support through references and the offer stage that produced our finalist hire. Throughout, they were responsive and easy to work with, and the candidates they put forward genuinely fit the brief.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The clearest outcome is the role got filled. They delivered a slate of qualified, on-profile candidates and we identified a finalist for our National Sales Director position, with an offer extended in June 2026 — a roughly five-month search for a specialized, hard-to-fill role. Just as telling: every candidate they put in front of us actually fit the brief, so our interview time went toward real contenders rather than sorting through mismatches.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was smooth and low-maintenance on my end, which is exactly what I wanted. Ashley and Heather kept things moving — shortlists and interviews came through on a steady cadence, and I never had to chase them for an update. They were very responsive; when I had a question or needed to adjust course, I heard back quickly. The search took about five months, but that was the reality of finding a specialized hunter for this role, not a delivery problem — they were upfront about the timeline and managed expectations honestly the whole way.

What was your primary form of communication with Sales Talent Inc?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out was the quality and fit of the candidates. A lot of recruiters just push volume at you — Ashley and Heather sent us people who genuinely matched the brief, which told me they actually understood our business and the kind of hunter we needed in a niche industry. Pair that with how easy and responsive they are to work with, and it didn't feel like dealing with a vendor so much as working with two people who were invested in getting it right.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Sales Talent Inc could have done differently?

Coming in, I didn't know the niche-recruiting world well, so a bit more upfront on what to expect from the process and the realistic timeline would have helped me set my own expectations. To their credit, they were honest about the timeline once we were in it.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Sales Talent Inc?

We needed to fill an open sales position at our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Sales Talent Inc helped us find a sales manager for our company. We needed to fill a unique role in a slightly niche industry, so there weren’t a lot of candidates with prior experience. Sales Talent Inc identified the skill set required for the role and found me from an unrelated industry as the right fit. They correlated my profile as a salesman to the industry we serve.

Initially, they located my LinkedIn profile and had a phone interview to see if I was a good fit for the role. Then, they provided a shortlist of qualified candidates, who were interviewed in person. The final decision was left to our internal team.

What is the team composition?

We worked with one teammate from Sales Talent Inc.

How did you come to work with Sales Talent Inc?

They found my LinkedIn profile and contacted me. I had been recruited by other agencies, but I found the dialogue with Ashley and her explanation of the role and how it was a good fit for my career to be top-tier. I decided to make the leap of faith and trust my career trajectory to Sales Talent Inc.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February to May 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We successfully hired a US sales manager, who has maintained customer relationships and stabilized our sales process and customer base. At the time of hire, the territory was down close to 24%. Currently, it’s only down 13% and is on a path to recovery.

How did Sales Talent Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

Sales Talent Inc fulfilled our needs in a timely manner. They delivered as on time as possible with the variables at hand. We communicated via virtual meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ashley’s attention to detail was impressive. She really found a good fit for the role, the company, and the person recruited.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.
