Why employers choose us

Helping Devon SMEs hire exceptional B2B sales talent

National agencies often lack a genuine understanding of the Devon market, while generalist recruiters rarely possess the expertise needed for complex B2B sales roles.

Established in 2004, we combine deep local knowledge with over 20 years of specialist B2B sales recruitment experience, helping Devon SMEs build high performing sales teams. We work directly with clients and candidates through honest, straightforward conversations focused on making successful long term sales hires.

Industry knowledge that matters

We know what consistently distinguishes high performing sales professionals from average performers and how successful sales teams are built.

Regional advantage

We know Devon salary expectations, where talent is based, and real commuting patterns across the county.

Access to passive talent

Many of the strongest sales professionals never actively apply for roles. Our network helps you reach talent beyond the job boards.

Hired for revenue

We assess candidates against your sales process, decision makers, deal values and sales cycle to identify people capable of delivering results.

Long term partnerships

Every assignment is managed from briefing to placement by the same experienced consultant, providing consistency, accountability, and a single point of contact throughout.

Thorough screening

Every candidate is assessed on sales performance, commercial capability, experience, and motivation before reaching your shortlist.
