Shane Sher, WalletDocExecutive Head of Business · Cape Town
Shane was, in his words, “allergic to recruitment”. He brought in three business developers through HireSales and watched each one sell on video before a single meeting.
Yoco and MelissaFintech · Cape Town
Ten hires through the full process. A year later, eight of ten are still there and two were promoted — one of them Melissa, the candidate who almost said no, now an Account Manager.

We scored him before they hired him, and said his lowest score out loud. Two weeks in, his own post said ~3× target. At one month, Presidents Club top 10.
DylanSales team @ Yoco · Pretoria
The year most CVs would hide, read as initiative. Yoco met him on our note and hired him. Four months in a row at target, and part of a R3.8m deal.
Registered in the morning. Matched by midday to someone already interviewed and scored. Interview next morning, offer in the room.
They wanted fifty more SDRs while most of the team kept leaving. We said: fix that first — and designed the role that fixes it.
Fifty scored profiles sent. Fifteen hired across four of their clients — a steady supply into the clients they already had.
Together we hosted Sales Talent Connect in Cape Town — top sales people and hiring companies in one room.
Tiaan's numbers and Melissa's job are their own public posts — not our claims about them. The same proof standard we hold candidates to, we hold our marketing to.

We scored Tiaan 88/100. Finding new deals: 15/15. Sales performance: 18/20. His lowest score was job stability, 6/10 — we said so openly and pointed the interview questions at it.
A UK Y Combinator company hired him for a remote sales seat. He moved jobs. Then he performed.
~3× target · 93% qualification rate · Presidents Club top 10 — his own post, two weeks in and again at one month.

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.
“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
Yoco's Pretoria sales team met him on that note and hired him. Four months in a row at target. R110k–R150k GP against a R170k target. Part of a R3.8m deal. We checked in at 30, 60 and 90 days.
Ten hires through the full process. Their managers used the coaching plans and interview questions most.
A year later, eight of ten are still there and two were promoted. One of them is Melissa — the candidate who almost said no, now an Account Manager hosting Yoco's events.
Yoco came back for ten more.
✓Melissa's job is her own public post.

“For maintaining a constant stream of quality sales talent, I would use no other platform.”Shane Sher, Executive Head of Business, WalletDoc
In his words, they “contributed to the culture and the dynamic of the team in terms of attitude and grit.”
They had been advertising for an SDR for over a month.
Registered in the morning. Matched by midday to someone already interviewed and scored. Interview the next morning, offer in the room. In the seat the day after.

They wanted fifty more SDRs while 70–80% of the team kept leaving. We told them the truth: fill fifty seats in the same system and you lose fifty people.
So we designed the job that fixes the system first — Head of SDR Performance & Coaching — with a test built for it. 87/100 HireSales score · 90/100 role test.
Sometimes the most useful thing we can tell you is that hiring isn't your problem yet.
Fifty scored profiles sent. Fifteen people hired across four of their clients — a steady supply of sales people into the clients they already had.
It started with a 20-minute call and one brief. No retainer, no systems to connect.
