The first Tech Sales Recruiting course is available!

The SaaS /Tech companies are struggling to hire in sales. Help them, becoming a Tech Sales Recruiter!

Hi there! I´m Leo Capelossi, the Founder of The Sales Gang - We help startups and scaleups to expand their Sales (and other) teams across Europe through a decentralized recruiters network based in many European countries (Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, Turkey, Armenia, Germany, Italy, and counting).

This course is the result of many years of recruiting experience and could help people, in many different moments: to start a career in recruitment, to improve tech sales recruitment skills, to help someone get a job as a sales recruiter, etc. The course is recorded in a very informal and relaxed manner, so I hope that the almost 6 hours of content are fun and useful. We go from the sales area, to end-to-end recruitment processes, no-code tools, automation, and other tips and tricks that the regular recruitment consultancies usually don't know.

Why take a tech sales recruitment course?

All the startups, tech, and innovative companies need to sell their products right? Yes, and they also need qualified and motivated salespeople to be able to do it. We know by experience how hard it is to find good salespeople (as sales is sometimes a "career accident" not a career plan) and how they can make a difference in any organization. We also know that many recruiters struggle in understanding sales, its processes, roles and also could improve in general recruitment practices.

Some important stats and facts:

• The SaaS industry has increased in size by around 500% over the past seven years. The market size value in 2022 - USD 186.6 billion and the revenue forecast for 2028 is USD 344.3 billion.

• 41 to 44% of tech companies feel that they are behind on hiring tech sales profiles

• There are tech sales bootcamps appearing everywhere to decrease the sales talent shortage

• There are thousands of sales recruiter positions opened on Linkedin. Go check!
