For employers
An open territory is not a vacancy. It is revenue leaking every month.
We recruit technical sales people for industrial manufacturers and their channel partners — roles where the seller needs to understand the product on the plant floor.
Employers go straight to hello@diamond-recruiters.com and to Philipp, the founder. The candidate inbox is separate.
Why this is hard
The people you want are not looking.
A sales engineer who is hitting quota in a territory they have built has no reason to browse job boards. They are not in your applicant pool, and no amount of advertising will put them there.
Meanwhile the applications you do receive skew toward people who can describe a product but have never diagnosed one on a plant floor. Screening those takes your regional manager away from their own number.
So the search has to be done by approach, by name, by someone who can hold a technical conversation credibly enough that a working sales engineer takes the call. That is the whole job.

What you get
Six things we commit to on every search
None of these are unusual. They are just rarely written down where a client can hold you to them.
We tell you if the number is wrong
If the band you have set will not buy the person you described, you hear that in the first call — not after eight weeks of an empty pipeline. Sometimes the fix is the comp. Sometimes it is the job description.
A named market map, not a job board
You see which companies and which people we intend to approach before we approach them. If a competitor is off-limits, you tell us then, not after we have called them.
A short slate with reasons
A handful of people, not a pile. Each one comes with the number they can defend and an honest note on where they are weaker — rather than twenty forwarded resumes and a hope that one sticks.
We manage the counter-offer
Most searches in this market die at resignation, not at interview. We prepare for it with the candidate weeks before it happens, because it always happens.
Terms agreed before outreach
Depending on the search, we work contingency or retained. The fee is a percentage of first-year compensation. The exact fee basis, the guarantee period and exclusivity are settled in writing before we start work. No surprises on the invoice, and nothing verbal that either side has to remember differently later.
