For employers

Hire the revenue talent your plan depends on.

You are a hiring manager, a VP of Sales, a CRO, or a PE operator with a number to hit and a role that has to produce it. Revenue Bench finds people who perform in the role. Selling and sales-leadership candidates are assessed with OMG, every hire arrives trained, and a dedicated coach works weekly with the hire and manager for the first 90 days. The coach and guarantee keep us accountable after the start date.

The cost of getting it wrong

A wrong sales hire is among the most expensive mistakes a company can make.

Most teams post a role, read resumes, run interviews, and choose whoever interviews best. Interview skill does not predict performance in a quota-carrying role. Interviews still matter, but the decision gets stronger when selling candidates are assessed against the role.

$200K to $250K
The cost of a single mis-hire in a revenue role is our working figure, counting base, draw, lost pipeline, ramp time, and the management hours spent on someone who should not have been hired. Revenue Bench was built to change that math.

Hiring the usual way carries odds most leaders would reject in another investment. The numbers below show the risk.

Why Revenue Bench

Five reasons the hire works.

We place revenue talent and stay accountable for how the hire lands. Every part of the model is designed to reduce hiring risk and support performance after the role is filled.

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 shapes whether a hire gains traction, so we remain involved through the work.

02

Assessment via OMG

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 ever make an offer.

03

A pre-vetted bench

We recruit strong revenue talent continuously and keep them on a pre-vetted bench. You get people who are ready for a serious evaluation and matched to your selling environment, without building your own pipeline from zero. The shortlist often exists before the search starts.

Ready on day oneMatched to your motion
04

Sales training included

Every hire arrives trained. Reps get a two-day sales skills program, and leaders get a leadership refresher, through Performance Edge and Sandler. They start aligned to a method and speaking a common language with your team.

A 90-day replacement guarantee

If the hire is not working inside the first 90 days from their start date, you can call for one free re-run of the search at no additional fee. Whether the hire is working is your call. We stay accountable for the outcome.

Built by operators

The same people who install sales systems and assess sales talent now staff them. Our point of view comes from building those systems, running them, and being measured by them at exit.

A search built to land the hire.

STEP 01

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 evaluated with Objective Management Group; every candidate is screened by an operator for fit with your process.

STEP 04

Present

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

STEP 05

Place & train

Reps complete a two-day sales skills program, and leaders complete a leadership refresher through Performance Edge and Sandler.

STEP 06

Coach 90 days

A dedicated onboarding coach meets the new hire weekly and the hiring manager weekly for the first 90 days.

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. Our guide to founders' first sales hires shows the role clarity needed before a search. You need talent assessed the way a seasoned operator would evaluate it rather than 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 as well as your org chart. If the seat is a South Florida one, our read of the Miami sales-occupation table shows which local pools are deep and which sit below the national concentration.

The PE-backed operator scaling fast

You are adding revenue capacity quickly without sacrificing quality. Our guide to PE sales hiring mistakes covers the failure patterns to avoid. 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.

Questions employers ask

Working with Revenue Bench, answered.

What roles do you place?

The full revenue engine. Sellers from SDR and BDR through enterprise AE, sales leadership from Sales Manager to VP Sales and CRO, plus Customer Success, Sales Enablement, RevOps, and GTM talent. If the role carries or supports a number, we recruit for it.

How do you reduce the risk of a mis-hire?

The shortlist starts from a pre-vetted bench. Candidates for selling and sales-leadership roles are evaluated with Objective Management Group, every candidate is screened by an operator for fit with your process, and each placement includes a 90-day onboarding coach and a replacement guarantee if the hire is not working within that window.

How long does a search take?

Kickoff to shortlist commonly runs 2 to 4 weeks when the bench covers the role, and a pure targeted search can take longer. Timing varies by role, seniority, and how much targeted search a role needs beyond the bench. See the stage-by-stage timeline for the full process.

How are your fees structured?

Our fee is one clear percentage of the hire's first-year compensation, backed by the guarantee. Senior and confidential searches, including CRO and VP of Sales roles, run as an engaged, retained-style search. Individual-contributor roles can run on contingency. The structure follows the role rather than a one-size rate card, and our guide to sales recruiter fees explains it in full.

What happens if the hire does not work out?

The 90-day coach usually surfaces trouble early. If the hire is not working inside the first 90 days from their start date, you can call for one free re-run of the search at no additional fee. Whether the hire is working is your call. The guarantee claim and the employment decision are two separate things: ending someone's employment follows your own documentation, HR process, and counsel under the employment law that applies, and nothing in the guarantee changes that. Our guide explains what to do when a sales hire is not working out.

What does the 90-day coaching include?

A dedicated onboarding coach meets the new hire weekly and the hiring manager weekly for the first 90 days. The cadence covers role clarity, method, pipeline build, CRM discipline, and deal execution, against the standard that the hire is performing in the role by day 90.
