Why Job Boards Don’t Work for Hiring Top Sales Talent

If you’re relying on job boards to find your next SDR, BDR, AE, Account Manager, or Sales Leader, you’re already behind.

Top sales performers aren’t scrolling job ads.

They’re busy hitting quota, growing key accounts, and being looked after by their current employers.

Job boards attract active job seekers - not the proven closers and relationship builders who can ramp quickly and drive real revenue.

When companies depend on inbound applicants alone, they often end up with:

• Misaligned candidates who lack the right stage fit or sales motion experience
• Slower hiring cycles due to sifting through irrelevant applications
  
• Weaker results because top performers never applied in the first place
  

That’s why the most effective hiring strategies involve targeted headhunting.

Instead of waiting for talent to come to you, you identify and approach the salespeople who are already winning, people with the right market knowledge, network, and track record.

If you want to consistently hire top sales talent, you need to go to them, not wait for them to come to you.
