Hire technology & engineering sales talent in Paignton
We are a Paignton business recruiting for Paignton businesses, and that proximity counts. When you are hiring sales people into a technology or engineering company in the town, you want a partner who knows the local candidate pool personally, not a national agency working from a database. We meet candidates face to face, understand the bay's pay and lifestyle expectations, and find people who will commit.
Sales people who fit the role and stay
Paignton is our home. Emmerson Ross has been based here since 2004, and it is also the centre of Torbay's high-technology ambitions, the site of the Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre and a town with a telecommunications manufacturing history stretching back to the 1950s. Few recruiters know this patch the way we do.
Paignton has been at the forefront of telecommunications technology since the STC factory opened off Long Road in the 1950s, a tradition carried on by ITT, AVX, Bookham and Nortel and continued today through the Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre (EPIC) and the planned Electronics and Photonics Production Park at Torbay Business Park. This is genuine high-value manufacturing on our doorstep, and it needs commercial people to match.
