Sales Recruiting at Risus Talent Partners
By Jordanne Ringwald, Founder of Risus Talent Partners
When I reflect on the journey of building Risus Talent Partners, one of the areas I’m most proud of is our expertise in sales recruiting. Sales teams drive revenue, forge lasting relationships, and ensure customer satisfaction, making them the cornerstone of any successful business. At Risus, we understand that finding the right sales talent isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about sourcing professionals who deliver results.
Over the years, we’ve fine-tuned our approach to sales recruiting so well, it feels like matchmaking for businesses. We use innovative strategies to save time, eliminate guesswork, and add a little fun to the hiring process (because hiring is too important to be taken seriously).
Our Proven Approach to Sales Recruiting
1. Deep Understanding of Sales Roles and Industry Nuances From entry-level Business Development Representatives to high-impact Vice Presidents of Sales, we’ve recruited for sales positions across diverse industries. This experience has allowed us to navigate the unique challenges of sales recruiting, such as evaluating intangible qualities like resilience, adaptability, and relationship-building.
2. A Consultative Partnership With Our Clients At Risus, we take the time to understand your business’s goals, sales strategies, and team dynamics. We use this insight to tailor our search for candidates who will excel in your environment. From manufacturing to modular construction and packaging, our industry knowledge ensures we deliver talent that makes a difference.
3. Candidate Assessment Beyond the Resume While numbers like quota attainment are critical, a successful salesperson is more than just metrics. We evaluate soft skills, cultural fit, and long-term potential. Our advanced tools help showcase each candidate’s full capabilities, ensuring a thorough and thoughtful evaluation process.
Recorded Video Interviews
Recruiting top candidates requires more than a polished resume. To provide a more holistic view of each candidate, we incorporate recorded video interviews into every submission. Here’s how this differentiator sets us apart:
- A Window Into Communication Skills These interviews let you see candidates’ communication styles, personalities, and their ability to think on their feet—key qualities for sales roles. It’s like having a first-round interview delivered directly to your inbox.
- Showcasing Accomplishments Each submission includes a curated “brag book” highlighting key metrics, career achievements, and notable client wins. This makes it easy to evaluate what sets each candidate apart.
- Streamlined Decision-Making Our candidate presentations include detailed compensation expectations and other critical insights, making it easier for clients to make informed, competitive offers without the back-and-forth.
By offering these insights upfront, we ensure transparency and efficiency, saving you time while helping you find the best-fit candidates.
