We Do More Than Just Find Candidates - We Help You Interview Them Properly

Struggling to find and hire top sales talent? Learn how structured interview strategies can uncover true potential and transform your hiring process.

Struggling to Nail the Sales Interview Process?

So, you’ve found a handful of promising CVs. Great! But now comes the real challenge—turning those CVs into the perfect hire. Interviewing sales candidates isn’t as straightforward as you’d hope. Sales roles demand a unique blend of skills, personality, and experience, and it’s all too easy to miss red flags or overlook hidden gems during an interview.

If you’re not a recruitment expert, how can you be sure you’re asking the right questions? How do you dig beyond rehearsed answers and uncover a candidate’s true potential? That’s where sales interview support from Coburg Banks comes in. We don’t just find you candidates; we empower you to interview them properly, so you can make confident, informed hiring decisions.

Why Standard Interviews Don’t Work for Sales Roles

Sales candidates are often excellent at, well, selling themselves. That’s their job, after all. But what happens when you hire someone who aced the interview only to find out they struggle to hit their targets? It’s a costly mistake—and one that could have been avoided with a structured, strategic approach to interviewing.

Here’s why traditional interviews often fall short for sales roles:

  • Generic questions: Asking vague or standardised questions won’t reveal a candidate’s ability to sell, negotiate, or handle rejection.
  • Lack of insight: Without understanding the nuances of sales, it’s hard to spot warning signs or identify standout talent.
  • Time wasted: Poorly structured interviews mean you could spend hours interviewing the wrong people.

When it comes to sales recruitment, a strong CV is only half the equation. The interview is where you uncover whether a candidate truly has what it takes to succeed in your specific environment.

Before Coburg Banks: The Challenges of Unstructured Interviews

Think about your current interview process. Does it feel a little… chaotic? Maybe you’re relying on gut instinct, or perhaps you’re struggling to get beyond surface-level answers. Without proper guidance, interviews can feel more like guesswork than a science.

Here are some common issues companies face before working with us:

  • Unfocused questioning: Without a clear plan, interviews can jump from topic to topic without assessing key skills.
  • Missed opportunities: Failing to dig deeper can mean missing out on a candidate’s true potential—or their red flags.
  • Hiring mistakes: Bringing in the wrong person can cost you time, money, and team morale.

It’s frustrating, isn’t it? But it doesn’t have to be this way.

  • Candidate insights: Based on our in-depth screening process, we’ll share insights into each candidate’s strengths, weaknesses, and potential fit for your organisation.
  • Sales-specific expertise: We understand what makes a great salesperson and can help you identify the skills that truly matter, like resilience, persuasion, and adaptability.

With our help, you’ll not only feel more prepared—you’ll also be able to identify the candidates who can genuinely deliver results.
