Our Services

We build sales teams and we fill sales roles.

Sales search and executive sales recruiting since 2023. We hunt the people already winning in your market, because the best person out there is almost never the best person that applied. Our network is deepest in building and home products, construction supply and distribution, and residential real estate.

How We Engage

Two ways to buy a sales hire

Sales Search

For the single hire

Chief revenue officer, VP of sales, national accounts director, commercial director, sales director, general manager, country manager, and the people who own a distributor, dealer or big-box relationship. We map the market rather than advertise the role, because the people worth hiring are working and exceeding their number. Difficulty is the assignment, not the exception. Calibration on what a true hunter looks like in the seat, then a market map you actually see, then a shortlist with our reasoning attached, then we stay involved through the offer and the first ninety days. Run with your identity protected until you choose to reveal it.

  • ✓Hunted, not an advertised role
  • ✓Client identity protected
  • ✓Exclusive, fully committed search
  • ✓Executive assessment & referencing

Building a Sales Team

For a population

Field sales, territory representatives and commission-only agents, hired against an agreed profile. A whole desk, a new region, or a commission-only force built from nothing.

  • ✓Contingency, paid on hire
  • ✓A realistic first-slate date, agreed at calibration
  • ✓Full market mapping

Construction, finance and insurance, IT and technology, healthcare and legal, contract staffing and augmentation, contract-to-hire, the AI and data science bench, and the design practice are still here, at Other Desks. Each of these has its own page, so you can go straight to the one you need.

Confidential Mandates

Discretion is a capability, not a courtesy

Some searches can't be public: a build the market shouldn't see coming, a replacement the team hasn't been told about, a move a competitor would love to know. We run confidential mandates as a discipline.

Confidential from the first call

We treat what you tell us as confidential before you tell us anything, and we say so up front rather than after.

Protected client identity

Candidates learn who you are when you decide they should.

Blind outreach done right

Compelling enough to move an executive who is winning where they are, revealing nothing.

Candidate discretion, both directions

The people we approach trust us with their careers; that's why they answer.

What we're trusted with stays trusted, during the search and after it.

Replacing Someone Who Is Still In The Seat

A normal reason to call. An uncomfortable one to explain.

We run those searches without your name attached until the shortlist is real.

Every Engagement Includes

A complete, rigorous search

Who runs the search

Every search runs under AJ Marcoz's leadership, with a senior search partner on your role.

Time to shortlist

Your first shortlist, usually within 10 business days.

Off-limits

Your team is off-limits to our searches.

Full mapping of the market that matters for the role

We identify every credible candidate in the market, not just those who apply. The best person out there is almost never the best person that applied.

A hunt, not a job post

The people worth hiring are working and exceeding their number, so we go to them rather than wait for an application.

Hunters, named as such

We separate the people who open accounts from the people who hold them, and we tell you which one each name on the shortlist is.

Cultural DNA mapping

Every candidate is vetted for functional excellence and long-term organizational fit.

Curated shortlist

You receive at least three pre-interviewed candidates: a shortlist, never a stack.

Offer & onboarding support

We manage offers, counteroffers, transitions, and the first 90 days.

90-day replacement guarantee

Every placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee.

Fees & Engagement
