Interested and available vs. more difficult to acquire difference-maker
Business owners and leaders continue to be disappointed in the performance of the majority of people hired. Where can the true difference makers be found? How can they be compelled to join your company?

Hiring from the available pool of job seekers instead of building a team based on acquired high performing talent is potentially the greatest pitfall for IT Services business owners and leaders. The difference-maker you really need is likely to be currently employed, consistently successful and may be competing against you every day. To acquire a true difference-maker, you probably need to recruit, attract and compel a proven performer rather than advertise to the “interested and available” job seeker.

You need a top salesperson, but how do you recruit them?

The industry is relatively small and high performing talent is finite. Successful salespeople in the IT Services industry are highly compensated and have worked hard to achieve the success they are enjoying in another company [possibly your competition]. They will not move easily. At Deare Recruiting Solutions, we have enjoyed nearly 14 years of success recruiting high performing IT Services sales talent. We are specialists who help high growth IT Services firms acquire top performers.
