How to hire sales reps without job boards
The sales reps you want are not on job boards. They already have a job, they're doing fine, and they are not searching for another one. A job post only reaches people who are actively looking. That's a smaller pool, and a worse one.
To reach the good ones you advertise to them where they already spend their time. That means Instagram and Facebook, not Indeed. Building those campaigns is what RepMagnet does.
Why Indeed stops working when you're hiring sales reps
Most sales teams are great at selling and rough at recruiting. That isn't a knock. Nobody ever taught them. Recruiting is a completely different skill from closing. So when a team needs to hire sales reps, it falls back on shoulder taps and Indeed. Then wonders why the same four resumes keep turning up.
Commission sales roles are the hardest kind to fill from a job board. The people who are good at it are already earning somewhere. They don't browse listings.
What RepMagnet does instead
I'm not a door to door guy. What I've got is ten plus years running paid social, including recruiting ads for national sales organizations in solar, pest control and home services.
We build the Instagram and Facebook recruiting ads that put your opening in front of thousands of people in your market who never would have searched for it. Hundreds of applicants, often for under $10 each. The job boards charge more than that to reach a fraction as many.
Then we hand it over. Your team learns to run the whole thing in house, so you own your recruiting instead of renting it from an agency, a recruiter, or Indeed, month after month.
Hiring a whole sales team, not one rep at a time
A recruiter finds you one person and charges you for that person. The next time you need someone, you pay again. Nothing you paid for the first time is still working for you.
This is the other way around. You end up with a system that keeps producing applicants every week, whether you need two reps this month or twenty. Hiring a sales team stops being a project you restart every quarter and starts being something that just runs.
Hiring commission only sales reps
Commission only is the hardest kind of role to fill from a job board. The pay scares off everyone browsing listings for something safe. And the people who are genuinely good at commission work are already earning somewhere, so they aren't browsing at all.
Ads flip that around. You stop waiting for someone to search. You put the opportunity in front of people who are already good at sales, and let the money do the talking. That's how a commission only sales role gets filled fast.
Who this is built for
Door to door teams, field marketing crews, insurance offices and home services companies. If hiring is what's capping how fast you grow, that's you.
