Sales Recruitment Agency finds high-performing sales talent for ambitious businesses — from SDRs and Account Executives to Sales Directors and CROs. Two decades of specialist experience, a warm active network, and a process built to get the right person in the seat, fast.
We place high-performing sales professionals across every function and level — from your first SDR to your next Sales Director — for businesses of every size and sector.
Open a discipline to see how we hire for it — and the kind of salespeople we place.
We recruit new-business and account-management Account Executives across every sector — technology and software, professional services, media, manufacturing and more. From first quota-carriers to senior enterprise AEs running complex, multi-stakeholder deals, we assess real closing ability, pipeline discipline and a track record against target — not just a polished CV. Whether you need a 360 sales executive, a mid-market closer or an enterprise account executive in London or nationwide, we headhunt salespeople who consistently hit and beat quota.
Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) and Business Development Representatives (BDRs) are the engine of your pipeline. We place outbound and inbound sales development talent who can prospect, qualify and book quality meetings at pace — building the top of your funnel and creating a natural progression path into closing roles. We recruit individual SDRs and BDRs as well as SDR team leads and sales development managers across the UK.
Business Development Managers (BDMs) and Business Development Executives (BDEs) win new logos and grow territories. We recruit field-based and desk-based new-business hunters who can open doors, own a full sales cycle and self-generate pipeline — ideal for companies expanding into new markets, verticals or regions. Our business development recruitment covers everything from SME field sales to strategic new-business roles across the UK.
Retaining and growing existing revenue matters as much as winning it. We recruit Account Managers, Key Account Managers and Customer Success Managers (CSMs) who renew, upsell and turn clients into advocates. We assess relationship-building, commercial acumen and a genuine retention and expansion track record — so your existing accounts stay, spend more and refer others.
From your first Sales Manager to a Sales Director, VP of Sales or Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), leadership hires decide whether your team hits its number. Using confidential retained search, we find commercial leaders who can build a repeatable sales process, coach and scale a team, forecast accurately and own the result. We recruit Sales Managers, Heads of Sales, Sales Directors and CROs across the UK and internationally.
Territory Managers and Area Sales Managers own a patch and carry a number across it. We recruit field sales professionals who can manage a region, balance new business with existing accounts, and work autonomously on the road. From a single territory hire to a national field sales team, we understand what great field-based selling looks like across sectors.
Every week without the right person costs revenue. Our process is built for speed without cutting corners on quality.
All roles are confidential — company names are disclosed at shortlist stage. Apply once and we'll match you to relevant opportunities as they come in.
Sales Recruitment Agency was founded by Ian Harwood — a specialist sales recruiter with over 20 years of experience placing sales, business development and commercial talent across the UK and Europe.
After over two decades placing sales talent — first at a generalist sales agency (BTA), then building H2 Recruit into a specialist sales-focused desk — Ian saw the same problem again and again: sales hiring treated like any other role, when getting it right takes someone who genuinely understands sales.
Sales hiring is different from every other function. The person who thrives selling into SMBs looks nothing like the one who wins complex enterprise deals. The motivation, the risk appetite, the skills that matter — completely different. Most recruiters don't know the difference. We do, because we've spent over 20 years in it.
Sales Recruitment Agency was built to solve that. Specialist knowledge, a warm active network, and a genuine commitment to getting the right person in the seat — not just filling a vacancy.
A traditional agency gets paid once — when you make the hire — so the incentive is to fill the role fast, not necessarily well. We do it differently.
