Search · Senior sales
A sales headhunterfor the roles you can't advertise.
Some sales hires can't be solved with a job advert: the salesperson you want is currently performing somewhere else, or the role is confidential. That's headhunting, and PrimeClosers runs it as a fixed-scope engagement rather than a percentage of first-year salary.
When headhunting is the right route
Use search when the role is senior, the market is small, the hire is confidential, or previous adverts have produced volume without quality. In those cases the best candidate is not looking, and reaching them requires direct approach rather than distribution.
Confidential replacement
Replacing an incumbent without signalling it to your team or market.
Senior leadership
Sales managers and directors where a mishire costs a year of revenue.
Proven performers
Approaching closers with a documented track record in your exact ticket band.
Thin markets
Niche sectors where fewer than fifty people in the UK have done the job well.
How the search runs
We scope the role and the evidence you'll accept, map the market, approach directly and confidentially, then present a shortlist with references, verified earnings where available and structured assessment. You interview and decide; we support offer, agreement and onboarding.
What it costs
Managed Placement is a fixed upfront engagement fee plus a share of first-year cash collected, with a 90-day replacement guarantee. Senior sales manager and director searches are scoped bespoke on a call against seniority, package and confidentiality requirements. Prime Employer platform access is included at no extra cost while an engagement is active.
