Salesrecruiters

What Salesrecruiters does

Salesrecruiters is a Dutch specialized recruitment firm focused exclusively on placing sales professionals in commercial roles across more than fifteen industry verticals, including retail, FMCG, logistics, technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and consultancy. The firm was founded approximately 20 years ago by Caroline Schoenmakers and Enrico Ouwehand, who remain co-owners, and operates from two offices in the Netherlands (Zoetermeer headquarters and Amsterdam) with service delivery extending into Belgium. The company self-positions as the market leader in sales recruitment in the Netherlands, with a service guarantee of three qualified candidates within three weeks, and currently advertises 72+ active vacancies through its self-serve job portal.

The company's core product is its proprietary Candidate Market Analysis (CMA) tool, which combines nearly 100,000 internal database datapoints with millions of LinkedIn population datapoints to deliver salary benchmarks, talent-pool sizing, and candidate-motivation insights segmented by function, region, company size, and experience level. Service offerings are organized around standard sales recruitment, executive search for senior sales leadership, and the CMA-driven advisory layer that supports profile refinement, onboarding and coaching advisory. GTM is sales-led and direct: a recruiter headhunting motion (described as "sales professionals recruiting sales professionals") supported by a candidate-facing job portal and a free CMA tool used as a top-of-funnel lead capture asset.

Salesrecruiters is a private company organized as a brand within the Home of Recruitment group (parent: Select Group), alongside sister brands Interimrecruiters and Marketing-recruiters. Revenue is generated through placement fees on a quote-based, per-engagement model; no pricing is publicly disclosed and no funding rounds are recorded in the data.

Others

• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions / Recruiter): Platform used by Salesrecruiters as a core data source for CMA and as a competing channel for sourcing. Enables but also partially disintermediates traditional headhunting agencies.

Direct peers

• Sales Talent Agency: Dutch specialist sales-recruitment boutique focused on account management, business development and sales management roles. Closely comparable in vertical focus and headhunting-led GTM.
• Michael Page Sales: Global recruitment firm with a dedicated sales recruitment practice. Direct peer in sales role placement for professional/senior commercial talent, including in the Netherlands and Belgium.
• Selectief (Select Group): Direct Dutch-based specialized recruitment brand within the same Select Group/Home of Recruitment parent ecosystem. Closest comparable as sister brand operating in a parallel recruitment vertical (interim) under the same ownership.
• Robert Walters Sales: Specialist professional recruiter with strong sales and commercial placement franchise in the Netherlands and Belgium. Mirrors Salesrecruiters' focus on mid-to-senior commercial hires.
• Hays Sales & Marketing: Global listed recruitment group with a dedicated sales & marketing permanent placement practice across Benelux. Directly comparable on go-to-market (specialized sales hiring), pricing model, and target buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Randstad Netherlands: Largest generalist staffing/recruitment player in the Netherlands. Overlaps in sales-role placements but as part of a broad staffing portfolio rather than a sales-only specialization.
• Robert Half Netherlands: Global staffing and recruitment firm with placement services in commercial/sales functions. Comparable buyer (employers) but operates at much larger scale across multiple specializations.

Emerging players

• Peak Recruitment (Peak Performance Group): Dutch specialist recruitment consultancy focused on commercial and sales roles. Comparable vertical focus but smaller scale and slightly different positioning around sales performance enablement.
• TTA International: Amsterdam-based recruitment firm with a specialized commercial/sales practice. Direct niche overlap in Benelux mid-to-senior sales placements.
