A poorly recruited Sales Director in the automotive sector leads to the loss of dealerships, fleet contracts, and market share within just a few quarters. Archetype has been recruiting Sales, Marketing and Management profiles in the automotive sector in Belgium for 30 years.
Recruitment Challenges in the Automotive Sector
The Belgian automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation: electrification, subscription models, digitalisation of the customer journey. Recruiting a Sales Director capable of leading this transition while maintaining volumes and margins requires a hybrid profile that is rare on the market. Every month without the right commercial leadership delays your adaptation and gives ground to more agile competitors.
