    Are you currently looking for a new full-time job? Do you wish there was an easier process to finding your next role? The good news is that companies are starting to see the value of hiring in-house sales recruiters. A Sales Recruitment Agency (SRA) can be your best friend when it comes to finding a new job as an inside sales professional. Keep reading for more information on why you should start working with an SRA today.

     

    What is a Sales Recruitment Agency?

    SRA companies specialize in sourcing and hiring sales professionals. They’ll help you market your skills and track the career progress of candidates. SRA’s mostly operate in a similar way, although the process might differ from one to another. As an example, some SRA’s provide staffing services for sales roles only, others for any type of sales job. SRA’s are a great alternative to headhunting and hiring third-party recruiting firms. They allow you to work through your network and don’t have any of the overheads or costs of a traditional headhunter.

     

    Why Hire an SRA?

    – You can find candidates with the right skills and experience – No worrying about generating candidates – You’ll only be communicating with interested people, not anyone else – You’ll get insights on how candidates are performing and how they’re being viewed – Hiring decisions will be faster, allowing you to fill open positions faster – You’ll get a better handle on your hiring process, allowing you to improve your hiring process continuously.

     

    Determining the Right SRA for You

    First things first, decide if you want a Sales Recruitment Agency that only focuses on hiring sales people or one that also takes on other roles. An SRA that only does sales hiring may have a wider range of candidates to choose from, but may also be harder to find. If you have some experience in recruitment, you may be able to source candidates on your own. If not, an SRA is a great option as they can handle all of the legwork of sourcing candidates, find you suitable candidates and make all of the hiring decisions on your behalf, while keeping you in control of the process all the way through. When you’re deciding whether to hire a SRA or go it alone, it’s helpful to think about what kind of hiring process you want in place. An SRA can help you find the right people for the job, increase your hiring velocity and streamline the hiring process, all while keeping the costs low.

     

    Finding and Screening Candidates

    SRA’s often have experience in sourcing candidates for different types of roles and will be able to give you the best recommendations when sourcing candidates for the role you’re hiring for. Once you have a shortlist of suitable candidates, it’s up to you to decide whether to hire them. If you do decide to hire a candidate, the process of onboarding them and beginning their career with your company may be something you want to handle yourself.

     

    Help with Hiring Decision Making

    With your SRA sourcing candidates and making hiring decisions on your behalf you can free up your time to spend on more strategic areas of your business. Having a strong hiring process is important, but it can take up a large amount of time. If you’re hiring at a consistent pace (e.g. your business is growing) hiring people every week or two, hiring people every day, or hiring people when your company needs new talent, it’s likely you’ll spend a lot of time on hiring decisions. An SRA can help you with this process, and others, by sourcing candidates, screening them and making hiring decisions on your behalf.

     

    Final Words: Should you work with an SRA?

    Working with an SRA is a great option if you’re looking for a new job in sales, have experience selling and have some idea of what candidate you want to hire for. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, how you want to source candidates, or what experience you want to hire for, hiring an SRA can save a lot of time and energy. If you decide to work with an SRA, they can help you find the right candidates, source them and make hiring decisions on your behalf. They’ll also be able to take you through the onboarding process if you hire a candidate.
