The challenges of recruiting Sales professionals for your growth

Every day without a high-performing sales professional on your team means revenue slipping away. In Belgium, the pressure on experienced sales profiles has reached a critical level: your competitors are hunting the same talent, with increasingly aggressive compensation packages. While you sort through unsuitable CVs, they are signing your prospects.

A poor sales hire costs more than just a salary. Factor in lost training time, poorly managed clients, and turnover that destabilizes the entire team. According to HR studies, a hiring mistake in a sales position represents between €50,000 and €150,000 in direct and indirect losses. You do not have that luxury.

Our expert approach to Sales recruitment

Archetype does not overwhelm you with a pile of applications. We eliminate 90% of CVs to present only the 3 strongest profiles — those who will genuinely perform in your environment.

Our headhunting targets sales professionals who are currently employed, not passive job seekers. Each profile undergoes an in-depth behavioral assessment: assertiveness in the face of rejection, resilience in long sales cycles, ability to integrate into your company culture. Thirty years of high standards have taught us one thing: a brilliant CV is worthless without the right human fit.

Profiles and sectors of intervention

We recruit sales professionals for sectors where selling requires real technical expertise:

• Tech/SaaS: sales professionals capable of selling complex solutions with long decision cycles.
• Industry: field profiles who understand production constraints and technical specifications.
• Finance: regulated sales professionals, comfortable with compliance and high-end client relationships.

Hypergrowth start-up or large industrial group: we adapt our approach to your size, your sales maturity, and your ambitions.

Sales recruitment expertise throughout Belgium

Our Brussels office covers the entire Belgian territory. We actively operate in Antwerp, the leading Flemish economic hub, and in Liège, a strategic Walloon crossroads.

This presence gives us a refined understanding of regional specificities: the Flemish SME landscape does not recruit like major Brussels groups. Salary expectations, managerial culture, working language — we integrate every parameter to find you the sales professional who performs within your local reality.
