Sales recruitment by ex-sales professionals

Joby Read

Director

After a 10-year career in media sales, from classifieds in the beauty industry to Commercial Manager for a leading consumer music title, Joby transitioned into recruitment, quickly progressing from an entry-level recruiter to Head of Recruitment at our sister company, Brand Recruitment.

Building on this experience, he founded Brand Recruitment as the premier targeted sales recruitment agency for the East of England. Joby excels at filling specialist or hard-to-fill roles, particularly within ecommerce, engineering, advertising, media, and publishing.

If you have a position others have said is unfillable, or your requirements are highly specific, Joby thrives on the challenge. At the same time, his expertise allows him to identify the right candidates for any senior sales management role.

12-month protection on all hires

At Brand Recruitment, our goal is to build long-lasting relationships with all our customers, and that’s why we offer our market-leading 12-month protection across all of our services.

Our ideal relationship is one where you feel supported until you have a long-term employee, and we’ll be available at all times to support you fairly should anything not go how it’s planned. If something does go wrong, all situations are always viewed on their individual circumstance, and we will always consider doing more than the standard offerings where we deem it a fair solution.

Contingency

All contingency work comes with both a standard rebate period, a free replacement period and a reduced recruitment period, giving our customers peace of mind across the initial 12 months from the first day of employment.

Retained

All retained hires have a rebate period across their entire first year of employment and a 3-month free replacement option.

Questions & Answers

What do you mean by ‘Retained Results regardless of role’?

Many sales recruitment agencies tier their service levels based on the seniority of the role, because they earn higher fees on executive placements. As a result, junior positions often miss out on top-tier methods such as headhunting, strategic job-spec optimisation and market mapping.

We take a different approach. Every role receives the same premium recruitment process, meaning you always receive the strongest and most comprehensive shortlist possible.

How does your ‘Industry-Leading Network’ help us fill our sales & business development vacancies?

Over the lifespan of our business, we’ve built an extensive network of sales, business development, account management and customer success professionals. With direct connections to more than 100,000 commercial candidates (many of whom are not visible to standard recruiters) we can reach almost every relevant professional on LinkedIn.

This elevated level of access allows us to identify, approach and engage suitable candidates across the UK quickly and effectively, giving you a much wider reach than most competing agencies.

How do we access your ‘Ongoing Targeted Support’?

Once onboarded, we’ll review your long-term hiring needs beyond immediate vacancies. Together, we’ll identify where you may have gaps in industry experience or where you would benefit from talent coming from key competitors.

We then build targeted recruitment maps that alert us when individuals from these organisations become open to new opportunities. By ensuring your company is one of the first names they see, we help you secure top talent ahead of your competitors.
