The Houston sales recruiters at KAS Placement recruit for every level of sales and marketing job applicants which include such levels as executive professionals all the way down to junior level and recent college graduate employment seekers.
KAS Placement works with both large, publicly traded Fortune 500 firms all the way down to smaller, venture backed start up organizations. Our recruitment efforts are both within the United States and all Canadian Provinces. Some of the client verticals in which we staff sales and marketing employment specialists include oil and gas, finance, insurance, various types of hardware sales, software, BPO - India and other various Southeast Asian countries, telecommunications, food, beverage (including winery sales representatives), cosmetics and skin care, construction and construction related software including AutoCAD specification, engineering, educational software and services, leisure hotel and travel, printing and office supplies, healthcare, interior design, semiconductor and much more.
KAS Placement's Sales Recruitment Process
Just like any other of KAS Placement's employment agencies' unmatched hiring techniques, our Houston recruitment efforts are very neat, scrupulous and well-planned. Upon looking for potential employees, our executive headhunting firm uses several methods. These staffing approaches include: employee submission via the KAS Placement website, networking, competitive employee approach, internal databases and more. When hired on a contingency basis, KAS Placement's hiring rate is nearly 80%. When retained, that recruitment percentage increases. This uptick in staffing percentage is a result of being able to be in direct contact with the decision makers; however, this is sometimes available to us via a contingency employment search agreement. Our Houston sales recruiters welcome either way in which your firm chooses to utilize our headhunting services.
Traits our Houston Headhunting Team Looks for in a Sales Professional
In the past few decades, sales methodology has drastically changed from the famous Alec Baldwin sales monologue which references an acronym "ABC" (from the David Mamet play Glenngary Glen Ross) to more of a consultative sales approach. In the 1992 film version of the play, Alec Baldwin discusses a sales style that is very aggressive and consists of convincing the buyer that he or she is in dire need of your product or service. While some of these techniques are still needed, they have become less prevalent than consultative business development styles.
Upon interviewing a job applicant, the Houston sales recruiters at KAS Placement also look for a more consultative question and answer type sales strategy. Consultative sales are quite the opposite of the aforementioned style which is aggressive in nature and seeks to immediately close the deal selling technique. Someone who has more a consultative technique will continuously ask the prospective client questions to determine their exact needs. Once these requirements are uncovered, the salesman or saleswoman will then utilize that information in order to tailor their business development pitch to correspond with the client's needs.
The reason our Houston sales recruiters look for a combination of both styles in our applicant's sales style is that sometimes a business development job applicant will have a sales approach which is too consultative, and therefore does not ask for the business in a clear, upfront manner. Conversely, our headhunting team has seen sales experts with too much of an aggressive approach turn clients off due to arrogant, somewhat outdated business acquisition tactics.

Our Houston Sales Recruiters and the Energy Industry
At KAS Placement, our Houston sales recruitment team, along with its usual industry verticals, has been focusing on the energy industry and therefore our Houston Recruiting enterprise has put much exertion into servicing the sector. Energy has been the primary driver of the Houston metropolitan area's economic activity for over 100 years. Houston is home to numerous major energy firms - roughly 4,000 to be exact. This figure includes oil exploration enterprises, production specialists and oil development companies.
KAS Placement's Marketing Recruitment Initiatives
Our marketing recruiting placement experts, in conjunction with our Houston sales recruitment team, has a vast knowledge and success rate in the staffing of marketing professionals. Lately, our executive headhunters have seen a vast increase for the need of online marketing professionals. Very effective online marketing professionals are increasingly hard to find, partly due to the high demand for the employment seekers. Unfortunately, a lot of old school marketing professionals, such as television, radio and print have not been able to make a smooth employment transfer.
Online marketing is a very labor intensive and expensive way of marketing your services online in order to bait web surfers to your web pages. Unless you are a company such as Coca Cola, this can be tougher than you think. Before you even begin an online marketing campaign, our Houston sales recruiters and marketing staffing agents highly suggest (if necessary), to formulate a very aesthetically pleasing website that is not programmed in flash as Google cannot index pages programmed this way. Once this is taken care of, your company can begin the main search engine optimization facets.
The online marketing practices most commonly used, in conjunction with each other are writing well formatted, interesting and up to date blogs and using such social media sites as Twitter and Digg in order to reach a mass audience when your company has a press release or new product or service to discuss. If the individual is either new to the industry or has not used Twitter before, obtaining a loyal following for each Tweet is quite hard. Additionally, online marketing professionals must be able to write SEO pages which are rich in content, and target relevant keyword phrases while keeping in mind not to have Google consider your webpage as spam. Even tougher than the search engine optimization pages are the obtainment of inbound text links (preferably anchor text), from reputable and relevant sites.
How our Marketing and Sales Recruitment Divisions Find Active Employment Seekers
Our Houston sales recruiters and executive marketing headhunters procure employment seekers through various different recruitment channels. First, due to a very large internal database made solely up of marketing and sales applicants, our staffing agents are typically able to find some qualified people whom we already have access to. Additionally, our team of recruiters has a wide networking range from many different industries of people whom we can call upon getting a job opening.
We utilize our online social media following on Twitter and are able to Tweet hundreds of sales and marketing experts upon receiving an open job mandate. Furthermore, the listings on our open jobs page are covered by several national and local newspapers. Thus, when we post a new job on our site, the open requisite reaches a few thousand job seekers. Last, our Houston sales recruiters pay for access to all the major job websites and often search for individuals; this is in conjunction with the aforementioned executive staffing methods.
Reasons for Job Relocation to Houston
No one can argue with the great Houston weather which allows you to wear summer clothing nearly nine out of the twelve months. Getting out of town for either business or pleasure is easy since the city has two airports within a forty-five minute radius. If you are staying with city limits, during your free time our Houston Recruiting specialists recommend such things as: the Houston Zoo, Downtown Aquarium, enjoying some of the fifty local golf courses and more. There are both affordable and luxury housing developments in Houston. To further the aforementioned positive thought, the city boasts some of the country's best eateries.
KAS's Houston Recruitment and Hurricane Ike
The only disadvantage our Houston sales recruiters have seen in the Texas urban sprawl are the economic fluctuations in within the Texas city. Our recruiter staffing agency immediately noticed an economic slump right about the time Hurricane Ike arrived. Since the storm, our Houston Recruiting team has seen a job hiring growth of roughly -4%. This is despite the fact that the rest of the United States is showing an uptick in new employment as of 2010.
As of late 2009, Houston's retail and auto sales have continued to lag, though, as of late 2009, retailers did see some sign of life thanks to discount chains like Wal-Mart. On the flip side, 2008 and 2009 saw an immense need for oil and oil-related services. It is safe to say that Houston Recruiting Agencies have seen growth in some areas while witnessing a dip in other spectra.
