The challenge

The wrong sales hire is the most expensive hire you make.

A weak sales hire costs salary, territory, pipeline and time — and you usually find out two quarters late.

01

Interviews reward talkers

Confident storytelling in an interview is not the same as structured selling in a deal.

02

CVs describe context, not capability

A big number on a CV may belong to a brand, a territory or an inherited account base.

03

Generalist recruiters

Sourcing built on keyword matching cannot tell a hunter from a farmer, or SMB from enterprise.

04

No shared scorecard

Different interviewers assess different things, so the decision comes down to gut feel.

Our approach

The Simpli5Sales approach to sales hiring

We treat a hire like a deal: define the requirement precisely, qualify hard, and validate with evidence before commitment.

  1. 01

    Define the role

    Motion, cycle, buyer, targets and the behaviours that predict success in your context.

  2. 02

    Source deliberately

    Portal, referral network, community and direct outreach into active sales talent.

  3. 03

    Screen for selling

    Structured sales interviews and scenario work, not a résumé conversation.

  4. 04

    Assess and recommend

    Competency and behavioural assessment feeds a scorecard your panel can compare.
