Quality you can check

What a scorecard tells you.

A CV tells you what someone says they did. A scorecard shows what we checked, what they said on video, and the one risk you should ask about.

1

Scored out of 100

Eight things we score, every one backed by a number or a specific example. Missing data lowers the score — it is never assumed.

2

Verified or candidate-stated

Every claim is labelled. ✓ means we tested it in the interview against the record. ○ means they said it and we have not confirmed it yet.

3

The risk, said out loud

Each card names the one thing you should confirm before you hire. We would rather you hear it from us.

4

Matched to your job

Who they sell to, how they find deals, deal size, cycle. We call it the fingerprint, and we match it to yours.

5

Watch before you meet

A video interview with every profile. See how they sell before you spend an hour in a room.

Dylan, placed at Yoco

A placement

The year most CVs would hide.

Dylan's CV had a year of commission-only freelance work on it. Most recruiters would skip it. We watched him sell, scored him, and sent him to Yoco with the story told straight.

✓Four months in a row at target✓R110k–R150k GP against a R170k target✓Part of a R3.8m deal
“Rather than waiting for the right opportunity, he created his own cold prospecting, built relationships and generated income.”From our note to Yoco, before the interview

What employers ask before they send a brief.

Do you recruit salespeople in South Africa?+

Yes. HireSales specialises in sales recruitment in South Africa. Tell us where the person needs to work, whether the role is remote, hybrid or on-site, and any territory or travel requirements. We assess the fit against your brief and tell you if the pool does not have the right people. Send us your sales role.

Which sales roles can you help us hire?+

Send us briefs for sales development representatives (SDRs), business development representatives (BDRs), account executives, business development managers, account managers, field salespeople and sales leaders. For B2B and SaaS roles, we look at the buyer, deal value, sales cycle and how the person creates pipeline. Role availability depends on your brief; a matching title alone is not enough.

How do I compare sales recruitment agencies?+

Ask each agency for a sample shortlist, the evidence behind its recommendations, its fees and its replacement terms. At HireSales, you can see a score out of 100, labelled evidence, a video preview and the main question to confirm before hiring. Read our guide to choosing a sales recruitment agency in South Africa, explore placement outcomes, or browse sample profiles.

What does it cost?+

You pay a success fee only — a percentage of the new hire's yearly package. We confirm it on your first call and put it in writing before we start. No retainers. Nothing upfront. If we don't place someone, you pay nothing.

What if the hire doesn't work out?+

A 3-month guarantee. If a placement doesn't work out in the first three months, we find a replacement first — at no extra placement fee.

Is 24 hours real?+

Yes. 24 working hours from the moment your brief is complete. If something is missing, we tell you the same day. If we don't have the right people, we tell you that too — instead of sending you the wrong ones. A quick "no" is better than a slow, bad shortlist.

Can I look at the database before I send a brief?+

Yes. Register free and you get full, instant access. Browse, watch the video interviews, and tell us who you want to meet.
