Our process

Four stages, whichever side of the table you are on.

The depth of each stage changes with the appointment. The sequence never does.

  1. 01

    Brief

    We learn the territory, the product, the targets and the kind of seller who wins in your market.

  2. 02

    Search

    Our network and direct headhunting reach sales people who are performing, not just those who are looking.

  3. 03

    Shortlist

    A focused shortlist of qualified candidates, with context on each, and never sent without consent.

  4. 04

    Hire

    We manage interviews, offers and resignations, and stay in touch through the first months in role.

The team

People you can actually speak to

Every consultant owns a defined market, so the person answering the phone already knows who is hiring and what the rate should be.

In their words

What clients and candidates say

William Henry understood exactly the kind of field sales person who succeeds with us. We interviewed three strong candidates and hired two.
National Sales Manager · FMCG business
They were honest about the role and the package from day one, and nothing went to the client until I said yes.
Regional Sales Manager · Placed candidate
