This resource hub brings together practical sales recruitment tips, hiring guides and recruitment insights for founders, revenue leaders and hiring managers who want to make better commercial hires.
HEMES shares guidance from real sales recruitment work, including how to define roles, evaluate sales candidates, choose recruitment partners and build stronger go-to-market teams.
Hiring salespeople is not only about finding confident communicators. The right person depends on your market, sales cycle, buyer profile, deal size, team stage and expectations for ownership.Hiring salespeople for SaaS is not the same as hiring salespeople for manufacturing, logistics, fintech or energy. The right candidate profile depends on the product, market maturity, buyer type, deal cycle and expectations for ownership.
These resources are written for companies that want clearer thinking before they brief recruiters, interview candidates or build a new revenue function.
Use these guides before starting a search, rewriting a job description or deciding whether to hire internally or with external support. They are designed to help you ask better questions and avoid the most common sales hiring mistakes.
Some pages explain recruitment fundamentals. Others focus on sales-specific decisions, such as GTM team design, tech sales hiring or choosing a partner who understands commercial performance.
Topics covered
These resources cover the practical decisions companies face before, during and after a sales recruitment process. They explain how to think about sales roles, recruitment partners, candidate evaluation and the structure needed to make commercial hiring more predictable.
You will find guidance on how recruitment agencies work, what to expect from a sales recruitment consultant, how to compare recruitment partners and how to avoid common mistakes when hiring for revenue roles.
The hub also connects broader go-to-market hiring topics, including GTM team design, tech sales recruitment and the relationship between sales and marketing hiring. The goal is to help companies make clearer decisions before they start a search.
Where top companies find their sales talent.
Working with Martynas and HEMES has been a smooth and results-driven experience. We successfully hired two local full-cycle Account Executives, one based in Sweden and another in Cyprus, to support our business development efforts across Europe. HEMES team quickly understood our hiring needs, sourced and selected high-quality candidates, and managed the recruitment process effectively. I’d recommend HEMES to any business looking to expand into new countries and hire their first local sales talent there.
MTL Carton used Hemes to headhunt the export manager. Within 10 days they presented 6 relevant candidates and we hired 2 employees instead of 1. Hemes team listened and heard us very well. And that is probably the most valuable quality of the partners you are working with. We will be working with Hemes in the future.
I've worked with quite a few recruiters over the years, and HEMES truly stands out at the top. Everything from communication to speed and execution is impeccable.We've hired two senior roles through them, and the experience has been consistently strong. They have a deep understanding of what senior roles in DTC businesses actually require, take the time to get alignment right, and vet candidates thoroughly, making the process smooth and saving us a lot of time in finding top-tier talent.We’re going to continue working with them and can only recommend them highly.
