The hiring challenge
Hire for coaching, not just personal sales
When the sales manager seat is vacant, coaching and pipeline decisions often fall back to a founder or senior leader. A large stack of resumes does not solve that problem. Tell us what the team needs to improve, how the manager will be measured, and where the current rhythm breaks down. Scion looks for management evidence that matches the mandate, including coaching practice, hiring decisions, forecast discipline, and the ability to lead the team you actually have.
We define team size, seller experience levels, inside or field coverage, reporting lines, sales methodology, compensation plan, systems, and the manager’s own selling responsibilities. We discuss whether the immediate need is to build a new team, improve an existing one, enter a territory, or stabilize forecasting. A precise brief helps candidates understand the opportunity and the decisions they can own.
Where Scion fits
You get candidates assessed for coaching, hiring, forecast inspection, and accountability, not just their individual sales record. We connect their management experience to the team you have and the team you intend to build.
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
Look for a repeatable management practice
Scion’s recruiting team evaluates examples of coaching, hiring, performance conversations, pipeline inspection, and cross-functional partnership. We ask how candidates set expectations and build a repeatable operating rhythm. You receive relevant profiles and coordinated interviews, along with a search partner who can help refine the profile if the market responds differently than expected.
What we screen for
- Coaching and performance management
- Sales hiring and onboarding
- Pipeline reviews and forecasting
- Territory and account strategy
- Cross-functional revenue leadership
We agree on the essential criteria with you, then look for evidence in comparable settings.
Timing and coverage
Recruit around the team you are building
Start with the urgent work
We can begin a targeted search promptly after learning your sales motion, compensation, management scope, and interview team. Experienced managers may be selective about authority, resources, and growth plans, so clarity helps outreach. We share progress and candidates as they are screened; timing varies with market and requirements.
Local and national reach
We recruit sales managers across all US locations, including local field teams, hybrid regional teams, and remote sales organizations. Territory travel, office days, and coaching expectations are part of the brief. We also support the account executive, SDR, and customer success hires who may report to the manager.
