How We Work

Our proven process drives speed-to-success and high quality results.

Our aim on every recruiting project is to find and deliver top-performing sales professionals who are uniquely suited to be successful in our customer’s sales environment.

We consistently generate the first class results our customers demand. How? Our recruiting process is one of the key drivers of our success as a leading sales recruiting company.

Many other recruiters focus on speed at the expense of high quality. To achieve quick turnaround time, they resort to an approach best characterized as random, scattershot and involving expedient shortcuts. Not us.

At Peak, our process is highly organized and methodical. We’ve been told we’re like a well-oiled machine: consistent, tireless and relentless. Our process is proven, repeatable and productive. The result is speed to success and high quality.

“Peak Sales Recruiting got us performance-oriented salespeople who are helping to raise the bar for sales productivity across the organization. Peak has become a strategic resource in planning and executing sales hiring initiatives.”
- Richard Sheppard, VP Sales, Bell Canada

Other recruiters often start a search by dusting off their own tired résumé database. Then they spend an afternoon fanning randomly out across job boards, perhaps tossing in a peek at a website like LinkedIn…and that’s all.

In contrast, we search every corner of the Internet looking for clues, determining where the right people can be found based upon their online activities and behaviors.

Our process follows distinct stages: assessing, communicating, testing, tracking. It helps us find top candidates in places other recruiters aren’t even looking. Proof? Candidates often ask us: “How on earth did you find me?”

Our operational experience in technology makes a big difference.

Our recruiting process is designed by people who have deep experience building and running successful sales teams in divergent business environments and economic sectors: B2B, B2C, products, services, technology and more.

We bring real world experience and an intimate understanding of sales strategy, sales performance, and sales management in many different selling environments.

Because our background is in technology, we use the latest technologies to find and assess candidates accurately and quickly. We are not posting job ads and waiting. Far from it.

We use technology in innovative ways, which enables us to find candidates on the broader Web as well as through social media channels by mapping their digital footprint.

We target and pursue “passive” (employed) top performers. We don’t waste your time with non-qualified candidates who are unemployed and vaguely hopeful to join any company that will take them.

We target top sales performers, then we go and get them.

Sales people speak a certain language. They have different motivators than people in other functions in a company.

We spend a lot of time on sales DNA/behavioral characteristics. Studies show that’s the largest contributor to sales success. We map into our customer’s sales environment and mission with one goal in mind: to help our customers generate more sales.

Happily, it’s a goal we manage to achieve again and again, time after time.

“I was blown away by the success I had with Peak when it came to hiring someone for a more senior role. The hire that I ended up making through Peak has surpassed all of my expectations.”
