Sales Recruitment Agency in Aberdeen

We recruit for sales roles across many of the key sectors in Aberdeen and the wider North East. That includes Oil and Gas, engineering, renewables, manufacturing, construction, marine, logistics, IT, software, SaaS, telecoms, professional services, business services, and food and drink.

The reason this matters is simple. A salesperson who performs well in technical engineering sales may not be the right fit for a software role, just as someone who is strong at winning new clients may not be suited to managing long-term key accounts. We match the hire to the market, the buyer, and the sales cycle.

It depends on the level of the role and how specific the brief is. In many cases, a shortlist can be ready within one to two weeks, with the full process taking around three to six weeks from briefing to offer.

Senior roles usually take longer, especially if we are approaching passive candidates. Clear feedback, quick interview scheduling, and a realistic package all help move the process along.

Yes, we do. We support employers with senior hires such as Head of Sales, Sales Director, and other executive-level sales appointments.

These searches need a more careful approach than standard sales hiring. We look at leadership record, team growth, results, market knowledge, and the person’s ability to lead from the front. We also handle these searches with discretion, which is often important when speaking to senior people who are not active in the open market.

The Aberdeen sales market looks steady at the moment. Employers are still hiring, but they are being more careful about who they bring in.

Recent official figures show Aberdeen City had 124,900 people in work in 2025, with an employment rate of 76.6%. That points to an active labour market where strong sales candidates are still in demand, especially those with a clear track record.

The local data also suggests there is still healthy hiring activity. Skills Development Scotland reported 23,500 job postings across Aberdeen City and Shire in the first half of 2025, including 15,000 in Aberdeen itself. Sales roles are still being advertised widely, which tells us the demand is there. Employers still need good salespeople, but they are taking more care over who they hire.

For most employers, that means speed matters, but fit matters more. In markets such as engineering, energy, technical products, and wider B2B sales, the better candidates are still moving, just not in large numbers.

Yes, we do. Alongside permanent hires, we can help with temporary, interim, and contract sales recruitment.

That can work well if you need cover at short notice, extra help during a busy period, or an experienced salesperson for a fixed-term project. In some cases, a contract hire is the best way to keep momentum while you decide on a long-term appointment.

Before we start, we take time to understand the role, your timescale, and what you need the hire to achieve. That helps us advise whether a permanent hire or a contract option is the better fit.

We do far more than match a CV to a job title. Before we put a candidate in front of a client, we speak with them in depth, either face to face or by video, to understand how they sell, what they have sold before, and how they come across in a real conversation.

We look closely at their track record. That includes targets, results, average deal size, sales cycle, account base, and whether their background fits the market you work in. For example, someone who has sold software into mid-size firms may not be right for a technical field sales role in engineering.

We also test the details behind the claims. We ask how results were achieved, what part they played in winning business, and how they handle prospecting, objections, and relationship building. That helps us send you a shortlist that is tighter, stronger, and easier to interview.

We cover more than Aberdeen city centre. We work with employers across Aberdeenshire and the wider North East, including businesses based in places such as Inverurie, Stonehaven, Peterhead, and surrounding areas.

That matters because many strong sales teams are based outside the city, especially in engineering, energy, industrial, and technical markets. We support both city-based firms and Shire-based businesses, and we tailor the search to the location, travel needs, and customer base involved.
