Hot Jobs

In Demand for 2018

“The market is very much a candidate-driven market, with lots of opportunities for high

performers. Companies will need to address this challenge by really promoting their

employer brand and selling the role, culture and opportunity to candidates, as well as

moving swiftly before a candidate’s head has been turned and they have accepted another

position!”

The overall trend is an increase in opportunities across a number of core industries such as technology, construction and engineering sales. With almost every company recruiting in each of these sectors looking for the same profile as their competition, it creates a massive demand for candidates who fulfil these criteria. Those with 1-3 years’ consecutive sales experience are in constant demand and getting snapped up swiftly by hungry employers keen to add to their ranks.

The overall trend is for this to continue which will put pressure on salaries as companies seek to outbid each other for the hottest talent.

Sigmar Recruitment | Salary Guide 2016

Employers want to see someone who can demonstrate target achievement over an 18 month period or longer. Whatever sales job you step into give it two years and you will have options with great companies, less than this and they may overlook you.

Your CV gets you to interview. Make sure you include achievements and successes, quantify your achievements in terms of sales target achievements. Put your best foot forward!

Get in touch with our team by emailing sales@sigmar.ie or call us on +353 1 4744600.

Sales professionals are incentivised by commission and bonus earning potential.

However, as the market becomes more candidate driven – salaries are increasing. Bigger companies are offering very high salaries which smaller companies (or companies not in tech and Saas) cannot compete with.
