All industries we recruit forWhat to put in a sales brief
Six details that change who applies for a sales role. Your client success manager asks about the role on the first call; having these ready makes that call count.
In the 280+ sales job descriptions we have worked on since October 2025, about three in four name a target. About three in ten mention incentives, and fewer than one in ten say how pay splits between fixed and variable.
01Territory
Tell us: The base city, the beat or region, and any named accounts the person will own.
A region on its own leaves candidates guessing where they would sit. A named base and beat lets people who cannot cover it rule themselves out before they apply.
02Target
Tell us: What the role is measured on (revenue, volume, new accounts or collections) and roughly how large the number is.
Experienced salespeople judge a role by whether the number looks reachable. Most briefs name a target; saying what it is measured on, and how big it is, is what lets them judge it.
03Product and ticket size
Tell us: What they will sell, and the typical order or deal value.
Selling machinery to a plant head and selling a subscription to a small business are different jobs. Candidates look for their own kind of sale in your brief.
04B2B or B2C, and who buys
Tell us: Whether the buyer is a business, a dealer or distributor, a government body or a consumer, and the person who signs.
It tells recruiters whose experience to look for. Someone who has sold to procurement teams is a different hire from someone who has sold to homebuyers.
05Travel
Tell us: Days a month in the field, whether a two-wheeler or car is needed, and how travel is paid.
About a third of our sales briefs mention field visits or travel. Saying how much up front keeps desk-based applicants and field sellers apart.
06Fixed and variable pay
Tell us: The fixed CTC, and how incentives work: on what, how often and roughly how much.
Salespeople weigh the fixed part and the incentive separately. Fewer than one in ten of our sales briefs spell out the split, so stating it makes yours clearer than most.

Sales hiring: common questions

Yes. 12+ companies have briefed us on sales roles in more than one city since October 2025, and 40+ have briefed us on more than one sales role.

These are budgets companies set, not offers made.
Can you hire freshers or early-career salespeople?
Yes. 35+ companies have briefed us on sales roles that ask for a year of experience or less since October 2025. The largest group of sales briefs asks for two to four years.
Who interviews the candidates, and who decides?
Your team does. Recruiters source candidates, AI scores each application against your brief, and recruiters hand-pick the shortlist. Your client success manager shares it, collects your feedback and coordinates interviews, and your team decides whom to hire.
Is Hire360 contract staffing or retained search?
Neither. Hire360 is success-fee recruitment for permanent roles: there is no retainer, and you pay the fee only when your hire joins your company.
