Sales & Marketing recruitment: talent to grow your revenue and brand
Commercial and marketing roles sit at the heart of business growth. Finding people who can both drive revenue and elevate your brand has never been more strategic.
As a specialist Sales & Marketing recruitment firm, Actual Talent helps organisations identify, assess and onboard high-performing salespeople, marketers and retail leaders. Our approach blends sector expertise, a proven methodology and a human touch to connect your company with the talent that makes the difference.
The key challenges in Commerce, Sales & Marketing
Customer journeys are going digital, e-commerce is exploding, omnichannel is the norm and expectations around customer experience keep rising. Companies face a complex, highly competitive environment.
The challenge is twofold: attract profiles that deliver commercial performance and build lasting customer relationships. Top sales talent and strong marketing experts are scarce and heavily sought after. Hiring a Business Developer, Key Account Manager or Digital Marketer demands a deep understanding of the market and of the skills that directly impact growth.
To secure these capabilities, recruitment must move fast. A vacant sales or marketing seat means lost revenue, missed opportunities or delayed launches. Partnering with a specialist Sales & Marketing search firm lets you pinpoint the right candidates quickly, attract the best profiles and de-risk hiring decisions.
