So what do you actually do?

0:09

Sellers Hub

One thing. We recruit salespeople. Producers, reps, and sales leaders for manufacturing, commercial insurance, and B2B tech. Onshore in the U.S., offshore worldwide.

1:12

You

We’ve been burned by sales recruiters before.

1:31

Sellers Hub

Most of our clients said that on this exact call. Nine of ten come back for a second search. The difference is the process, so let’s talk about the process.

3:40

You

Everyone says they have a process.

3:58

Sellers Hub

Ours looks like an outbound motion, because it is one. We map every viable seller in your market, then run phone, LinkedIn, email, and text at the passive talent that isn’t reading job ads.

8:52

You

How do I know they can actually sell?

9:14

Sellers Hub

Every candidate is scored on six counts before you ever meet them, against your role criteria. You see a shortlist, not a stack of resumes.

14:05

You

How fast does this move?

14:22

Sellers Hub

Most placements land within 1 to 3 weeks of kickoff. Eight of ten roles fill inside 60 days.

17:30

You

And if the hire doesn’t work out?

17:44

Sellers Hub

Fewer than 5% ever need replacing. If one does, we run the search again at no fee. Guarantee windows run up to two years on retained search.

21:47

You

What does it cost?

22:02

Sellers Hub

Manufacturing and insurance searches are retained: 25% of first-year base, billed in thirds. Offshore tech sales is 35% direct hire, or a subscription from $900 a month. Exact terms go in your engagement agreement.

24:10

You

Who would we actually be working with?

24:26

Sellers Hub

Fourteen people, one trade. A U.S.-led team with global sourcing capacity.

26:02

You

Can I talk to someone you’ve done this for?

26:15

What didn’t come up on the call.

The rest of what revenue leaders ask. Anything else, ask us live.

What does Sellers Hub do?

Sellers Hub is a sales-only recruitment firm. We place high-performing sales talent, onshore in the U.S. and offshore globally, for B2B companies that need pipeline, closed deals, and revenue. We recruit individual producers, account executives, SDRs and BDRs, sales leaders and VPs, plus customer success and RevOps roles.

What roles and industries do you recruit for?

We recruit across the full go-to-market org: SDRs and BDRs, account executives, customer success, RevOps, sales managers, directors, and VPs of Sales. We go deepest in three areas, manufacturing, commercial insurance, and offshore tech sales, but we place sales talent for B2B companies well beyond those.

Do you place onshore or offshore sales talent?

Both. We place onshore in the United States and offshore globally. Offshore hires fit B2B SaaS and tech companies scaling go-to-market capacity at a lower cost; onshore is typical for manufacturing and insurance producer and leadership roles.

How long does it take to fill a sales role?

Most placements happen within 1 to 3 weeks of starting a search, and 8 of 10 roles are filled within 60 days. Executive and complex searches typically run 6 to 8 weeks to a shortlist.

How are candidates vetted?

Every candidate is evaluated against our SELLER framework: Sales performance, Expertise, Learning agility, Likability, Execution, and Role fit. A two-step interview, phone screen then video, scored against the specific criteria for your role. You see a shortlist of vetted, sales-ready professionals, not a stack of resumes.

How does Sellers Hub charge?

Manufacturing and insurance searches are retained: a percentage of the hire's first-year base, billed in thirds across the engagement. Offshore tech-sales hires are either a one-time direct-hire fee or a monthly subscription starting at $900. Exact terms are set in your engagement agreement.

What if a placement doesn't work out?

Fewer than 5% of our placements ever need replacing. If one does, retained searches include a full-replacement guarantee, with windows of up to two years depending on the search. We run the replacement at no additional fee; exact terms are in your agreement.

What makes Sellers Hub different from a general recruiter?

We only do sales. We help you find a sales professional, not a generalist who took the seat, and we run candidate outreach the way you would run an outbound sales motion, reaching the passive talent that is not on job boards. Nine out of ten of our clients come back for a second search, and over 80% of the professionals we place hit at least 90% of their first-year budget.

How quickly will you respond if I reach out?

We respond within 24 business hours. Most searches kick off with a 45 to 60 minute briefing call to align on the role, compensation, and the exact candidate profile.
