subject: Get Help Through Sales Recruitment [print this page] Sales recruitment is one way that you can get the help you need in your business. In order to perform good sales recruitment that will attract the top agents and salespersons you will need to gather some information about the position, and then post this information in a place where a lot of qualified individuals will have access to the information.
The necessary information that you will need to have in order to do effective sales recruitment is as follows.
You must know what the job requirements are as far as educational background
You need to know how much experience the person applying needs to have
You need to know whether the position will be a full time position or a part time position
You will need to explain whether the person will be expected to travel in order to perform their duties as a sales associate
Does the person that will be hired for the job need to provide their own transportation
Are any licenses required to fill the position that is open
You need to know what the starting rate of pay will be
You need to know if the pay will be by the hour or if it will be performance based
You need to know if the person will have any health care coverage if they take this position
You need to know if the person will have any vacation time, and how long they must work before they will start to be eligible for vacation
The possible candidates will want to know if they will get holidays off with pay and if they will have paid sick leave
They will want to know if the hours are flexible with the company
Once you have all of the information gathered that a possible employee might want to know you will need to decide where to advertise the position in order to get it out to the most people.
Newspaper classifieds are a way to get the message out, but they will only reach a small target audience. With a newspaper ad you pay by the number of words in the ad and then you are charged by the number of days that the ad will be seen in the paper. The only people you can hope to reach in this manner are the ones that live in the town where the paper is printed.
Television advertising is a way to reach a larger target audience than newspaper ads reach. Television ads are quite expensive to run and they still only reach a few local people. If you really want the word about the job position to get out to a lot of people you are going to need to have it somewhere that almost all people have access.
Online recruiting agencies can help you to place the word out in places that a lot of people will have access to. The agency can also help you screen the candidates, and do background checks. They can help you decide which people are the most qualified so all you have to do is a final interview before hiring.
Sales recruitment without the help of an agency is hard to do and generally does not reach the number of quality candidates that a recruitment agency can reach. If the sales recruitment that you are doing is important then hire professionals to help you do it right.
