About
Specialist sales recruiters, not generalists.
William Henry Associates is a specialist recruiter of sales professionals across multiple sectors within the UK, with 20 years' experience placing hard to find talent into some of the most recognised brands in the world.
We recruit mid to senior level sales roles including Sales Representatives, Managers and Directors across FMCG, financial services, technology, healthcare, industrial and many more sectors.
We specialise in three service areas: contingent recruitment, fully retained search including headhunting a target list of candidates, and pipelining services to prepare a short or long list of qualified candidates for current or future briefs.
Whether you are hiring a single territory rep or a Commercial Director, you work with a recruiter who knows the sales market and the people in it.
We recruit Sales Representatives, Managers and Directors across FMCG, Financial Services, Business Services, Oil & Gas, Industrial, Technology & Telecoms, Healthcare, Property & Construction, Leisure & Travel, Logistics and Energy.

Four stages, from first conversation to first day
The same sequence applies whether we are filling a site vacancy or appointing a Managing Director. The depth changes, the principle does not.
- 01
Brief
We learn the territory, the product, the targets and the kind of seller who wins in your market.
- 02
Search
Our network and direct headhunting reach sales people who are performing, not just those who are looking.
- 03
Shortlist
A focused shortlist of qualified candidates, with context on each, and never sent without consent.
- 04
Hire
We manage interviews, offers and resignations, and stay in touch through the first months in role.
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.
They were honest about the role and the package from day one, and nothing went to the client until I said yes.
