Sales and Business Developer Recruitment Agency

Licorne Society covers the entire hiring cycle. We start with a scoping phase to understand exactly what the company expects from the person it wants to hire, and to gather everything we need to win candidates over.

Licorne Society then handles sourcing and the direct approach, and runs screening interviews. The Licorne team tracks each process through regular check-ins. Once the hire is made, the consultant follows the candidate through onboarding.

A sales recruitment agency (in French) covers every sales role, from individual contributor roles such as Business Developer, salesperson or Account Executive / Account Manager, to management and leadership roles, such as Sales Director or VP Sales (job profiles in French).

Good salespeople are scarce, hard to find on the market and in high demand. Working with a recruitment agency such as Licorne Society saves you time on the direct approach and lets you target people who are still in a job. The best talent is usually already employed, so an agency helps you bring even stronger people into your company. Finally, it helps you assess candidates and select the people best suited to your company.

A recruitment agency specialising in sales roles usually charges a percentage of the hire's annual package (fixed plus variable). This percentage generally ranges from 20% to 27% of the annual package.
