Sales recruitmentwithout the percentage.

A UK sales recruitment agency typically charges 15-25% of first-year salary. PrimeClosers gives you the same vetted talent for a flat £249 on hire — because we run a marketplace, not a contingency desk.

The agency model versus the marketplace model

Contingency recruitment is priced as a percentage of salary because the agency carries the risk of doing the work and not getting paid. That works, but it means the agency's incentive is the highest possible salary, the shortlist is chosen for you, and commission-only roles get ignored entirely because there is no salary to take a cut of. We removed the percentage and gave you the pool directly.

Sales recruitment FAQ

A traditional contingency sales recruitment agency charges 15-25% of the placed candidate's first-year salary. On a £45,000 sales executive that is £6,750-£11,250 per hire. Retained search for senior roles is usually 25-33%, invoiced in stages.

We are a marketplace, not a contingency agency. You post the role free, review vetted applicants yourself, and pay a flat £249 placement protection fee when you hire — not a percentage of salary. For roles you would rather not run yourself, managed placement is available at a fixed fee.

Both. The network covers salaried sales executives, SDRs, BDRs and sales managers, alongside commission-only high-ticket closers and appointment setters — a category most traditional agencies will not touch because there is no salary to take a percentage of.

Every placement carries 30-day replacement cover from the start date. If the hire leaves or is let go inside that window, we replace them at no additional placement fee. The cover is fixed and time-bound, with no invoicing or activity conditions attached.

Self-serve roles usually receive their first vetted applicants within 48 hours of going live because the talent pool already exists and is pre-assessed. Managed placement typically presents a shortlist within 7-10 days.

Five stages: identity and work-history checks, an AI competency assessment, a DISC behavioural profile, a recorded call or role-play review, and reference or track-record verification. Earnings claims are verified automatically against payments settled through the platform rather than taken on trust.

Post the role free. Pay £249 when you hire.

No percentage of salary, no exclusivity, no retainer. Vetted applicants usually land within 48 hours.
