The hiring challenge
Restore daily coaching while a manager seat is open
An unexpected sales manager departure can leave sellers waiting on deal help and leadership juggling one-on-ones, forecasts, and interviews. Even a short gap can scatter accountability across several people. Tell Scion which team needs daily management, what decisions cannot wait, and whether the assignment supports a planned leave or a permanent search. We seek temporary sales managers with relevant experience who can enter your operating rhythm, give the team a consistent point of contact, and hand work back cleanly when the assignment ends.
We define the number of sellers, their territories and seniority, pipeline inspection cadence, hiring needs, coaching expectations, and authority for discounting or performance decisions. Temporary management may include one-on-ones, deal reviews, activity planning, forecast updates, onboarding, and coordination with sales operations. You choose which duties belong to the assignment and which remain with your director. We document the tools, reporting line, travel, and handoff checkpoints so candidates understand the practical work before interviewing.
Where Scion fits
You get a targeted temporary search around your team size, coaching rhythm, forecast meetings, and management authority. We connect candidate experience to the operating decisions your sellers need made now.
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
Choose a manager for the sales motion in place
Scion’s US-based recruiters screen for evidence of managing a team, guiding deals without taking them over, maintaining useful forecast conversations, and giving actionable feedback. We discuss the setting behind each candidate’s experience, including team size and sales cycle. You receive relevant candidate context and interview coordination, then select the manager who matches your current need. Scion supports the temporary employment relationship while your sales leadership sets targets and priorities.
What we screen for
- Seller coaching and one-on-ones
- Deal and pipeline reviews
- Forecast communication
- Sales hiring and onboarding
- Transition planning
We agree on the essential criteria with you, then look for evidence in comparable settings.
Timing and coverage
Move from management gap to interviews
Start with the urgent work
A focused intake can cover your seller roster, current deals, meeting cadence, compensation, work location, and the person who will approve the assignment. We can generally start the search the same day after intake and present relevant talent as fast as 48 to 72 hours. We then coordinate interviews and onboarding around the leadership decisions that need immediate attention.
Local and national reach
We recruit temporary sales managers in all US locations. A local leader may be essential for field coaching or an in-office team; other groups need a manager comfortable guiding distributed sellers. We clarify travel, time zones, customer meetings, and office days before outreach. Scion can also support temporary account executives and SDRs if the management gap coincides with open selling seats.
