Sales and Marketing Recruiting Agency
What We Look for in a Sales Representative
Our staffing agents understand that unless you are looking to hire a dedicated account manager, a sales representative's job is to procure new business that otherwise would not have been available to our client. Good sales representatives have some inherent traits.
When looking at a business development resume, our Washington DC sales recruiting agencies look for several things. This includes a pertinent industry background, experience selling into our client's target market(s), a history of selling a revenue amount which mirrors our client's average sales volume, a history of prospecting for new accounts via cold calling, mass emails and utilizing current contacts in order to obtain meetings with C-level and other high ranking corporate executives and, finally those who have a reliable history of remaining with their former employers for a good amount of time. Our executive sales and marketing headhunters feel that candidates who bounced from job to job are not stable enough to pass on to our employer.
Upon interviewing the employment candidate, our Washington DC sales recruiting agency seeks out business development professionals who are confident in their selling abilities, are quick on their feet when having to answer difficult, thought provoking questions, have a mixture of consultative and aggressive selling styles, are easy to deal with, are responsive to our inquiries and who can provide solid references from past employers.
KAS Placement only staffs for business to business sales.
Thinking about these questions keeps our Washington DC recruiters up to date with what challenges our client is facing and what they need most to succeed in the coming years.
2. Thinking about the perfect candidate
- How would the candidate help the client through the changes they are going through?
- How would they tackle and help achieve the client's goals?
- What changes is the candidate going through?
- Are the candidate's goals complimentary to the client's?
Our executive headhunting team wants to make ensure that we find an employment candidate who is going to help our clients make progress and accomplish their set corporate goals. Our Washington DC sales recruiting agencies understand that change is an opportunity both for the client and the right candidate.

Nearly every Washington DC sales recruiter at KAS Placement will tell you that under most circumstances a job applicant should get his or her resume professionally done.

However, our headhunters must remind you that your resume is the best way for you to get in the door of a particular organization in which you are applying to. To give you a good example, our sales recruiters receive nearly a hundred plus resumes from around the U.S. on a daily basis. So we are able to simultaneously focus on our client accounts and spending the time to look at all the incoming CVs, the first thing our staffing professionals look for is format.
