Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment

What Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment does

Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment (legal entity: Aaron Wallis Recruitment and Training Limited, company number 6356563) is a UK-domiciled, founder-owned sales-specialist recruitment agency founded in 2007 by Rob Scott. The company serves two sides of a two-sided market: employers seeking permanent, contract, and interim sales staff across B2B, FMCG, technical, field, IT, technology, database, international, and executive sales roles, and sales candidates seeking positions across the same verticals. It also places combined sales-and-marketing staff and operates across vertical specialisations that now include construction, SaaS, cybersecurity, engineering & industrial, and green technology sales.

Operationally, the agency runs four UK branch offices (Milton Keynes HQ at 22 Walker Avenue, Wolverton Mill, MK12 5TW; Birmingham; Bristol; Leeds) with a stated presence in London, supported by phone-based engagement per branch, video interview capability, and a self-serve job database on the corporate website. Technology stack is operational rather than proprietary: JobAdder ATS/CRM (SOC 1 Type II audited) stores candidate and client data; Thomas International delivers Personality Profile Analysis, General Intelligence Assessment, and Sales Profile Analysis as standard; 100+ skills tests are bundled on every candidate; 256-bit SSL plus JavaScript field-value encryption plus sslupload.co.uk secure document transfer support GDPR-compliant candidate onboarding. No public API or SDK is exposed.

The revenue model is transaction-fee based. Permanent placement fees are 15% of first-year guaranteed income under exclusive sole-agency arrangements (two-week exclusivity, no rebate on these terms) and 20% under multiple-agency arrangements. Contract and temporary staffing generates separate work-finding fees. A 12-month rebate scheme on exclusive placements acts as the principal differentiator against generalist recruiters. The agency also runs a fixed-price recruitment option, a virtual assessment centre, independent CV verification, and bespoke interview question services as bundled add-ons. Customer acquisition is content-led: 80+ free recruitment videos, downloadable candidate resources, city-level sales salary data, and sector market reports (2025-2026 vintage) drive organic inbound, supplemented by LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook profiles. The company is REC Corporate Member and ISO-aligned on information security though no formal ISO 27001 certification is disclosed; ICO registration Z1059320 is maintained, and Rob Scott also serves as Data Protection Officer.

• Reed Specialist Recruitment: Major UK generalist recruiter with a dedicated sales recruitment division across permanent and contract. Comparable on direct sales hiring but with much wider vertical and occupational coverage.
• Hays UK & Ireland: Global listed recruiter with UK sales/account management desks. Comparable because of overlapping client base and sales permanent placement activity, but with broader specialism across multiple professions.
