Since 2003, we have helped companies grow and build strong sales organizations. With extensive experience, deep business understanding, and a genuine interest in people, we have successfully recruited everything from inside sales representatives and sales engineers to sales managers and other key sales roles. Read more about our insights and what we consider crucial for a successful sales recruitment.

Sales recruitment since 2003

Since 2003, we at Rubino Rekrytering have been working with sales recruitment at the highest level. We have experience across multiple industries, with a particular focus on the electrical and energy sector, automotive, manufacturing, and building technology. Thanks to our extensive industry knowledge in these areas, we know which skills and qualities are required to succeed in different roles and markets.

The sales landscape has changed dramatically over the past 20 years, with new channels, digitalization, and shifting buying behaviors reshaping how business is conducted. Yet one thing remains: the ability to identify truly exceptional salespeople. We know what it takes to find these individuals, and we are convinced that a skilled salesperson can sell—regardless of the product or industry. Product knowledge can be learned, but the right mindset, drive, and ability to generate business are invaluable.

Through a careful selection process, personal contact, and deep industry expertise, we ensure that every candidate we present has the potential to become a long-term success in your team. We work proactively, both through search and advertising, placing great emphasis on matching the right person to the right role. When we handle the recruitment of your next salesperson, you can be confident that the process is efficient, professional, and results-oriented, with a focus on finding the candidate who will strengthen your company and contribute to growth.

Recruit Salespeople

The right salesperson in the right position is the key to a company’s growth. A skilled salesperson doesn’t just close deals—they build long-term relationships, establish trust, and drive profitability forward. But finding the right salesperson is a challenge. Many of the best salespeople are not actively looking for new jobs, making them difficult to reach through traditional recruitment channels.

When we help our clients recruit salespeople, we work both through search and networks to find candidates who have proven results, as well as the right personality and drive to succeed in your organization. We know that a salesperson must not only be good at selling—they also need to understand the customer’s needs, professionally represent the brand, and adapt their approach to the market.

Recruitment Process

Every assignment is unique, but we have a proven process that works.

We approach our work with humility and understand that recruitment can be challenging for everyone involved. That’s why we strive to create a positive, safe, and friendly experience for both clients and candidates by being attentive and transparent throughout the entire process.

Will we find your next salesperson?

In sales, there is a multitude of titles, often in English, and the differences can be confusing. Account Manager, Sales Engineer, Sales Development Manager, Key Account Manager, Business Development Manager, Growth Manager, Sales Executive…the list goes on. But what do they really mean, and what do they entail in practice for your organization?

We have a thorough understanding of what these titles represent, but we also know that companies often assign their own interpretation to them. That’s why we always start a new assignment by clarifying exactly this. Together with you, we develop a clear and tailored job specification that captures both skills and personality.

In this process, we also share our market insights: how sought-after is your ideal candidate, what are the typical salary levels, and what can make the role particularly attractive, or less appealing, for the right person. This way, we create the best conditions to not just find a salesperson, but the right salesperson for your business.
