Sales & Marketing Recruitment

Commercial appointments require relevant sector understanding

Sales and marketing functions contribute to growth across Aspion’s core client industries, but the commercial environment differs between a manufacturer, a metals stockholder and a construction-related business. Employers may need professionals who understand technical products, specialist customers, or the operational context in which a product or service is supplied.

Our recruitment coverage includes sales and marketing functions within manufacturing, metals and engineering, construction and our wider multi-specialist offering. We discuss the commercial responsibilities of the role, the customer and product environment, and the relevant background before agreeing the search. This keeps the process focused on suitability for the employer rather than an assumed match based on a sales title alone.

Through market mapping and direct search, our consultants can approach experienced professionals who are not actively applying for jobs. We then assess their background and suitability and manage the process through shortlist presentation, interviews and offer.

Commercial recruitment with sector context

We recruit sales and marketing functions within our wider specialist sectors, including manufacturing, metals and engineering, construction-related products and services, and transport and logistics. Product knowledge, technical selling, distribution models and sales cycles can materially affect fit.

Positions we can support

• Manufacturing - sales and marketing
• Metals and engineering - sales and marketing and commercial functions
• Construction - sales and marketing
• Wider multi-specialist recruitment - sales and marketing

Understanding the commercial brief

Before searching, we explore the customer base, type of sale, geographical patch, sales cycle, targets, product complexity, reporting lines and the balance between account development and new business. For marketing hires, we agree the strategic or delivery remit and the capabilities needed.

Access beyond active applicants

Our search-led process includes mapping target businesses and approaching relevant individuals directly, as well as evaluating transferable sector experience. Candidates are considered against the actual brief, with clear communication throughout selection and offer management.
