When should you hire head of sales talent?
You should hire head of sales talent when sales needs dedicated leadership, when founders need to step back from daily sales management or when growth requires more structure.
This role is especially important when the company needs better forecasting, clearer accountability and stronger sales team performance.
As a sales director recruitment agency, HEMES evaluates leadership track record, sales process experience, hiring ability and alignment with the company’s commercial reality.
We clarify whether your business needs a builder, scaler, operator or strategic sales leader. This depends on company stage, team size, market maturity and growth goals.

Empowering Businesses with Top Talent, Every Day
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.
