Is your recruitment process truly delivering top sales talent? Learn how aligning recruitment with sales goals helps find high-performing candidates.

Is Your Recruitment Process Delivering the Right Sales Talent?

Think of your sales team as the engine of growth for your business. But what if the recruits driving this engine are not up to the mark? Many companies stumble here, knowing they need quality hires but not knowing how to find them.

Enter Coburg Banks, specialists in the recruitment process designed to find high-performing salespeople. Our approach pinpoints the skills and qualities that top sales professionals possess, ensuring you get talent that fits your unique strategic and organisational goals.

Step 1: Understanding Your Needs

Every successful journey starts with a clear map. At Coburg Banks, we begin by gaining a deep understanding of your business needs:

  • Sales strategy alignment: We ensure your hires align with your sales strategies and company culture.
  • Role-specific insights: Gathering detailed descriptions to identify what makes a candidate the right fit.

This foundational step is crucial; it guides every subsequent stage of the recruitment process.

Step 2: Crafting the Perfect Candidate Profile

Armed with insights, we create a comprehensive candidate profile:

  • Skills and necessary attributes: Identifying essential skills and qualities for the ideal candidate.
  • Experience and track record: Outlining previous achievements that indicate future success.

This profile becomes the blueprint for finding candidates who perfectly match your expectations.

Step 3: Sourcing Top Sales Talent

Once the groundwork is set, the real action begins—sourcing candidates:

  • Broad networks: Tapping into a wide network of sales professionals across various sectors.
  • Database access: Utilising our extensive databases alongside LinkedIn and top job boards.

Our reach ensures you access candidates others can’t, prioritising recruitment quality over quantity.

Step 4: Screening and Shortlisting Candidates

The influx of applications can be overwhelming, but our precise screening process cuts through the clutter:

  • Initial assessments: Comprehensive evaluations to narrow the field.
  • Shortlist creation: Candidates who truly fit move to the next phase, ensuring efficiency and quality.

This step ensures that every shortlisted candidate is a viable prospect, ready for deeper assessment.

Step 5: Conducting In-Depth Interviews

Personal interaction is key; in-depth interviews help us understand each candidate’s capabilities:

  • Behavioural and situational questions: Evaluating how candidates might perform in real-world scenarios.
  • Skill assessment: Testing role-specific skills to gauge proficiency.

This step in the recruitment process helps us ensure candidates have both the skills and mindset needed for success.

Step 6: Rigorous Evaluation and Testing

Continuing with meticulous evaluation, testing becomes integral:

  • Assessment tests: Tailored tests designed to measure specific competencies.
  • Case studies: Real-world tasks to evaluate problem-solving and adaptability.

This stage sees candidates put through their paces, ensuring only the best make it through.

Step 7: Presenting the Best Candidates

After thorough evaluation, we present a curated list of top candidates:

  • Detailed profiles: Each candidate presented comes with a comprehensive overview to aid decision-making.
  • Consultative approach: Our suggestions come with insights and recommendations tailored to your needs.

This step ensures you have everything you need to make an informed hiring decision.

Step 8: Support During Offer and Onboarding

The journey doesn’t end at selection; we guide you through the offer and onboarding process, ensuring a smooth transition:

  • Negotiation support: Ensuring mutually beneficial terms for both parties.
  • Onboarding assistance: Helping new hires settle in and start contributing quickly.

This support ensures your new hire integrates seamlessly and starts driving results sooner.
