Job Posts vs Headhunting

A lot of companies rely on job posts to hire salespeople.

It’s easy, fast… and usually gets you candidates.

Here’s the difference:

Job Posts

• Attract active job seekers
  
• Rely on who happens to be looking that week
  
• Generate high volume but low precision
  
• Often lead to longer hiring cycles and weaker fits
  

Headhunting

• Targets top performers who are currently hitting quota
  
• Focuses on stage fit, market expertise, and proven track records
  
• Brings in candidates who aren’t applying anywhere
  
• Speeds up hiring by going straight to the right people
  

The best SDRs, AEs, Account Managers, and Sales Leaders aren’t sitting on job boards. We all know they’re already winning somewhere else.

If you want talent that actually moves the needle, don’t wait for them to apply - go find them.
