The hiring challenge
Hire around the decisions you need made
When a sales organization grows beyond one manager, an open director seat can slow territory decisions and leave the VP close to every forecast. The hiring challenge is to find someone who has led at a comparable scale and can take ownership of the decisions your organization needs made. Scion begins with the growth plan, management layers, sales cycle, and the problems that should look different after six months. Our recruiters then pursue relevant leaders, assess their evidence, and keep the hiring process moving.
We map the director’s actual authority across regions, team leads, hiring plans, compensation input, major accounts, forecast calls, and budget decisions. A first director managing one established team requires a different search from a national leader responsible for several managers. Tell us how this role partners with the VP of Sales, revenue operations, marketing, and customer success. We distinguish essential experience from industry familiarity that a capable director could learn, so outreach can reach a practical candidate pool.
Where Scion fits
You get a permanent search anchored to your actual management layers, markets, and commercial authority. Candidate summaries connect leadership examples to the mandate, giving your team a better basis for interviews.
Scion Staffing has connected employers and professionals since 2006. Our US-based recruiters support temporary staffing, direct hire recruiting, and specialized searches across corporate and professional functions. We bring a nationwide candidate network, a consultative intake, and a clear interview process to each assignment. The hiring manager always decides whom to meet and hire; our job is to make that decision easier with relevant candidates and responsive coordination.
Targeted candidate assessment
See the leadership evidence behind the title
Our recruiters source and evaluate leaders whose experience matches your buyer, team structure, and selling motion. We ask for specific examples of developing managers, changing territory coverage, improving forecast discipline, and making hard staffing decisions. You receive candidate context rather than a stack of titles, plus coordinated interviews and timely feedback. If the market challenges an assumption in the brief, we share what we learn and work with your team on the adjustment.
What we screen for
- Managing sales managers
- Regional planning and territory decisions
- Forecast governance
- Hiring, coaching, and succession
- Executive stakeholder alignment
We agree on the essential criteria with you, then look for evidence in comparable settings.

You can move quickly by reserving interview time and identifying the few capabilities that must already be demonstrated.

Local and national reach
Scion recruits for local, regional, and nationwide sales leadership assignments in all US locations.
