For overseas manufacturers
We help overseas engineering and industrial technology businesses recruit UK-based salespeople — identifying and assessing candidates suited to selling your products to UK customers, handled by specialists who know this market.
We have worked with companies in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, China, Japan and South Korea to recruit UK-based salespeople.
What the service is
You are appointing an employee of your own business. Our role is to find, assess and shortlist the right person — and to be clear about where our responsibility ends.
We identify and assess candidates suited to selling your products to UK customers — technical credibility, sector knowledge and selling approach, tested against your brief.
The candidate is employed by your business, under your employment arrangements. You set the terms, remuneration and the day-to-day working relationship.
You receive candidate summaries that distinguish what the candidate reports, what we assess, and what has been independently verified — so you can decide with confidence without meeting everyone first.
Briefs and updates are handled in English, with the practical realities of your market and product range discussed openly — no assumption of UK knowledge on your side.
