Six steps to hire a sales representative
- Set the pay range first. Today’s 581 sales representative postings that state a yearly US-dollar range offer $120K to $232K for the middle half. Three quarters of them offer more than the lower figure. 32% of the postings state pay; in several US states and EU countries the law requires it. See sales representative pay in detail.
- Write the description. Start from the sales representative job description template, then check it with the job description checker: the pay, the place of work and the must-haves should be clear before the second paragraph.
- Decide where the person can work. 19% of today’s sales representative postings are remote and 9% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
- Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
- Screen for the work, not the titles. Ask each candidate to describe a result from similar work, with a number. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the sales representative interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
- Decide quickly. Half of today’s open sales representative postings have been up more than 47 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.
