Technical sales recruitment
A boutique recruitment service for engineering, manufacturing and industrial technology businesses — headhunting experienced sector specialists and transferable sales talent, with every claim on a CV examined against your actual role.
Start with the role
We start with the role or business requirement — not a recruitment label. Titles vary between companies; the outcome your business needs does not.
An existing patch with headroom, an account base to grow, and a pipeline that needs consistent attention.
Opening doors in a defined sector, converting technical enquiries, and building demand where none exists yet.
Someone customers and engineers will talk to seriously — product knowledge that stands up in the room.
Three routes
Most briefs resolve into one of three routes. You do not need to decide before speaking to us — we will help you find the right one.
Headhunted candidates with relevant commercial experience and industry knowledge from the outset — engineering, manufacturing and industrial technology backgrounds.
Performance and suitability still require assessment against your actual role. We test the claims, not just the CV.
Junior and entry-level hires with realistic responsibilities, practical training and coaching — capability built deliberately rather than bought ready-made. Delivered with Velocity Sales Lab.
Not a cheaper replacement for an experienced salesperson — a different investment with a different timeline.
Established selling skills from an adjacent industry, and a wider search pool where sector experience is scarce.
Transferability and technical learning must be examined for fit with your products. We assess it honestly before you meet anyone.
How we work
We agree what the role must achieve — territory, targets, products, customers — before anyone is approached.
Focused headhunting within the sectors that matter to you, not a database spray.
Every candidate is assessed against a matrix of skills and competencies built around the exact nature of your sales process and market — using a combination of interviewing and testing.
You receive a shortlist you can act on — each candidate presented with why we believe they fit, and how we know.
What you receive
We distinguish clearly between what a candidate tells us, what we conclude, and what has been independently confirmed — so you know exactly what weight to place on each.
All information is stated subject to confirmation. We make no universal shortlist-deadline promise — the right candidates take the time the brief requires.
Discuss a hire
A short conversation about your requirement is the fastest way to find the right route — no commitment, no jargon.
Tell us briefly what you are hiring for and we will come back to you.
