Sales executive recruitment requires understanding both individual sales performance and the leadership skills needed to make a team better.
HEMES helps companies hire Sales Managers who can coach reps, manage targets, improve pipeline discipline and create a stronger sales culture.
A strong Sales Manager turns individual contributors into a more consistent team. They set expectations, coach on real deals, inspect pipeline and help reps improve through clear feedback.
The best candidates are not only former top performers. They can lead, structure, communicate and hold people accountable.
When should you hire sales manager talent?
You should hire sales manager talent when your team is growing, performance is inconsistent or founders and senior leaders no longer have enough time to manage sales execution directly.
This role is especially important when you need repeatable operating rhythm, better forecasting and more structured coaching.
As a sales manager hiring agency, HEMES evaluates leadership experience, sales process understanding, people management skills and the ability to improve team performance.
We clarify what leadership style your company needs. Some teams need a hands-on coach, others need a process builder, a performance manager or someone who can scale a new sales function.

Common Sales Manager hiring situations
Companies often ask HEMES to recruit sales team leads when a team has grown beyond founder-led management or when sales results depend too much on a few individuals.
This can include hiring a first Sales Director, replacing a senior sales leader, strengthening regional management, improving team accountability or adding leadership for a specific product, market or revenue segment.

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.
