Company Description

A nimble, independent producer of prime labels and RFID solutions

Job Title

Labels Sales Representative

How long was client searching prior to our involvement?

The client was not aggressively seeking anyone until our involvement. Once they engaged us in the project they made it a priority for them.

Did client have internal recruiting resources?

No, they do not. The client also did not have a long track-record of working with search firms like ours.

Why was this a real problem for the client?

Our client has aggressive growth plans and needed to hire their first sales representative. They had a deep network of people they know but those individuals came from larger organizations that weren’t the best fit. We were able to give them options but putting together a very targeted search consisting of comparably sized source companies.

How did this opportunity help the candidate?

The candidate we found was selling a similar product line and after only 6 months in, his employer eliminated his base salary and changed some terms of his offer. In addition, selling RFID solutions would be a differentiator as many don’t have that technology yet.
