Sales & Sales Leadership Recruitment

Most recruiters find resumes.
We find revenue.

Specialized search for the revenue engine, backed by a pre-vetted bench your team can draw from. Every hire is assessed like an operator, then coached through the first 90 days so they perform.

The cost of getting it wrong

A wrong sales hire is one of the most expensive mistakes a company makes.

Most teams hire the way everyone hires. Post a role, read resumes, run interviews, and choose whoever interviews best. Interviewing well is not the same as performing in a quota-carrying role.

$250K
The average cost of a single mis-hire in a revenue role, counting base, draw, lost pipeline, and the management time spent on someone who should not have been hired. Revenue Bench was built to solve an expensive problem.
Why Revenue Bench

Five reasons the hire works.

We do one thing: place revenue talent and make sure it lands. Every part of the model is built to remove the risk of the hire.

01

A 90-day onboarding coach

Every placement includes a dedicated coach who meets the new hire weekly and the hiring manager weekly for the first 90 days. Onboarding is where hires are won or lost. We do not hand off and hope.

02

Assessment first

Selection runs on Objective Management Group. OMG reports predictive validity in the 95 percent range, its accuracy metric, and nearly 2.4 million salespeople assessed since 1990, based on its 2023 figure. We measure will to sell, sales DNA, and whether someone can execute inside your process, before you make an offer.

03

A bench, not a job board

We recruit top revenue talent continuously and keep them on a pre-vetted bench. You get people who are assessed and matched to your selling environment, without building your own pipeline.

04

Sharpened on arrival

Every hire arrives trained. Reps get a two-day sales skills refresher, leaders get a leadership refresher, powered by Performance Edge and Sandler. They start aligned to a method.

05

A 90-day guarantee

If the hire is not working inside the first 90 days from their start date, we run the search again at no additional fee. We are paid to be right, and we stand behind it.

+

Built by operators

The same people who install sales systems and assess sales talent now staff them. No pure-play recruiter can say that. Meet the founders below.

The Revenue Bench

Access a real bench, not a job board.

Most companies start every search from zero. Our clients start from a bench of revenue talent we have already sourced, assessed, and vetted. When you need a role filled, the shortlist already exists.

The First 90

We don't hand off and hope.

Every placement comes with a dedicated onboarding coach for the first 90 days. One weekly call with the new hire. One weekly call with the hiring manager. The result is a faster ramp, fewer early exits, and far less onboarding load on your team.

Weekly with the hire Weekly with the manager Aligned to your process
Weeks
1 to 2
Role clarity, expectations, and manager alignment. The hire knows exactly what good looks like from day one.
Weeks
3 to 6
Method, pipeline build, and CRM discipline. We reinforce the system the hire was trained on before they started.
Weeks
7 to 13
Deal execution, quota ramp, and independence. By day 90 the hire is performing in the role, not still settling in.
How it works

Find revenue, not resumes.

STEP 01

Define the role

We map the role to your actual selling environment, buyer, and sales motion before anyone writes a job description.

STEP 02

Source

We start from the bench and run targeted search to fill the gaps, so the shortlist comes fast.

STEP 03

Assess

Candidates for selling and sales-leadership roles are assessed with OMG, and every candidate clears an operator screen. We test for fit with your process before you meet them.

STEP 04

Present

You see a focused shortlist of people we would hire ourselves.

STEP 05

Place & train

The hire arrives with a two-day skills or leadership refresher, aligned to a method from day one.

STEP 06

Coach 90 days

A dedicated coach works with the hire and the manager weekly until the hire is fully performing.

Built by operators who have done it before.

90-day replacement guarantee

Who we serve

Operators who have a system and need the people to run it.

The founder scaling past founder-led sales

You have hired before and watched reps underperform while you ended up back in every deal. You need talent assessed the way a seasoned operator would, not by a generalist on a job board.

The revenue leader under pressure to perform

You are the VP of Sales or CRO with a number and a timeline. You need a partner who understands your pipeline mechanics and hires against them.

The PE-backed operator scaling fast

You are adding revenue capacity quickly without sacrificing quality. You need a recruiter who understands portfolio dynamics and hiring under velocity pressure.

The company mid-transformation

You are installing a sales methodology and need talent that matches the system you are building. We time the search to the work.

Revenue Bench fits operators who are serious about the outcome, with a defined sales process or the intent to install one. We decline engagements where there is no defined sales process and no plan to build one, where hiring begins before the role is understood, or where selection rests on the lowest fee. You can hold us to the same agency evaluation scorecard we publish.

The Founders

Built by operators, not recruiters.

Revenue Bench was founded by two people with complementary expertise. One builds the sales systems. One finds and develops the talent to run them.

For candidates

Get on the bench.

We place revenue professionals into vetted, system-led teams, and we set you up to win. Get assessed, get a sales or leadership refresher before you start, and get coached through your first 90 days. The offer is the start of it. The coaching through your first 90 days is what makes it hold.

Frequently asked

Straight answers, before you ask.

What does Revenue Bench do?

Revenue Bench is a specialized recruitment firm for the revenue engine: sellers, sales leaders, enablement, and RevOps. We maintain a pre-vetted bench of talent, assess candidates for selling and sales-leadership roles with Objective Management Group, place and train the hire, then coach them through the first 90 days so they perform.

How is Revenue Bench different from other sales recruiters?

Most recruiters stop at the resume and the interview. Revenue Bench candidates for selling and sales-leadership roles are assessed with OMG before you meet them. Every placement arrives with a training refresher, gets a dedicated onboarding coach for 90 days, and is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.

What is the 90-day replacement guarantee?

If a hire leaves or is not performing within the first 90 days, we run the search again at no additional fee. We can stand behind the hire because the candidate was assessed before the offer, and the onboarding coach works with them through the first 90 days.

What roles does Revenue Bench place?

The full revenue engine: SDRs and BDRs, account executives, sales managers, VPs of Sales and CROs, sales enablement, RevOps, and go-to-market roles, for high-growth and private-equity-backed companies.
