What does it take to hire great salespeople?

November 26, 2025

Hiring salespeople is hard. What does it take to hire a good one? And what does good even look like? Matt and Jim talk through the difference between hiring known candidates with specific staffing experience, versus hiring someone from outside the industry.

The twist? Matt doesn’t just cover hiring a salesperson who has no staffing experience, but what kind of people make great staffing people with no sales experience whatsoever!

Then Jim starts talking about how they used to hire recruiters in his agency days by walking around malls and restaurants.
