About Us
Deare Search Partners
“The traditional, volume-based recruiting agency model isn’t built to support optimal Sales Recruiting in the post-2020 world. Their focus is on matching job seekers with jobs. In contrast, we’re professional headhunters committed to the labor intensive process it takes to directly approach and attract top-performing, currently employed sales pros.”
– Rick Deare
