The Problem
The True Cost of Hiring the Wrong Salesperson
A bad sales hire doesn't just cost you a salary. It costs you clients, reputation, and momentum. Industry data shows the average mis-hire costs 6–10x their base salary when you factor in lost deals, damaged relationships, and wasted management time.
Financial Drain
Salary, benefits, training investment — all lost when a rep doesn't work out within the first year.
Lost Pipeline
Every month a wrong hire occupies a territory, deals go unworked and opportunities slip to competitors.
Client Damage
A rep who doesn't build trust can actively damage client relationships that took years to establish.
Team Morale
Top performers lose faith when they see bad hires tolerated. Culture erodes and your best people start looking elsewhere.

The Assessment
What SalesIndex Measures
Every candidate is assessed across three dimensions that predict success in trust-based selling.
Skillset
Prospecting ability, discovery skills, presentation quality, and closing discipline — the tactical competencies that drive revenue.
Mindset
Resilience, growth orientation, accountability, and coachability — the mental attributes that determine whether a rep will develop or plateau.
Heartset
Authenticity, empathy, integrity, and relational intelligence — the trust-building qualities that separate great salespeople from average ones.
How Recruit Works
From Job Post to Qualified Candidate
We Post Your Job on Job Boards
We handle the job posting across relevant boards to attract a wide pool of qualified sales candidates.
Every Candidate Takes the SalesIndex
Each applicant completes the SalesIndex assessment — measuring their skillset, mindset, and heartset before you ever speak to them.
We Filter Out Bad Candidates
We send over Recommended & Worthy of Consideration. You never waste time with Unrecommended.
Our Promise
Backed With a Guarantee
If you hire a candidate SalesIndex says is "Recommended" and you fire them in the first six months, you can reuse the license to hire the next candidate.
With Hire + Train
What Happens After You Hire
When you enroll your new hire in the 12-month training program ($99/mo), the $595 placement fee is waived — and your new rep gets a complete development foundation with coaching tools for their manager.
6-Month Daily Micro-Training
Your new hire receives personalized daily audio lessons based on their SalesIndex results — building skills, mindset, and trust-based habits from day one.
Manager Coaching Guide
Their manager receives a structured coaching guide showing exactly how to develop this specific hire — based on their assessment gaps and strengths.
Personalized Development Roadmap
A clear plan that maps the first 6 months — from foundations and pipeline creation to independence and sustained performance.
Benchmark Against Top Performers
See exactly how the new hire compares to your best people and track their growth over time as training compounds.
The Comparison
Gut Feel vs. Data-Driven Hiring
Most sales leaders still hire based on résumés, interviews, and gut instinct. Here's how that compares to a data-driven approach.
Traditional Hiring
- Based on résumé and interview charisma
- No objective measurement of trust-building ability
- Gut feel replaces data in final decisions
- Same generic onboarding for every new hire
- Mis-hire discovered months later — after damage is done
SalesIndex Hiring
- Backed by data across skillset, mindset, and heartset
- Measures trust-building aptitude objectively
- Compares candidates against your top performer benchmarks
- Personalized onboarding plan from day one
- Predicted fit identified before the offer is made

Recruit & Hire Packages
Choose the package that fits your needs. Recruit to find candidates, Hire to place with confidence, or Hire + Train to waive the placement fee entirely.
Platform Access
- Unlimited candidate assessments
- Sales-specific scoring framework
- Three-tier candidate classification
- Detailed individual reports
- Team benchmarking data

Why unlimited? Because we want you to assess every candidate — not just the ones you already like. That's how you find the ones you'd otherwise miss.
Per Placement Fee
- Paid only when you make a hire
- Full assessment data for the placed candidate
- Coaching report for the sales manager
- Onboarding profile & coaching roadmap
- No fee if the candidate isn't hired
Why per-hire? Because our value shows up when you actually place someone. We don't charge you for saying "no" — only for saying "yes" with confidence.
Hire + Train
- Per-hire fee waived completely
- New hire enrolls in 12-month training
- Daily micro-coaching from day one
- SalesIndex ongoing development tracking
- They ramp faster and stay longer
Why we waive it: When a new hire goes straight into our training program, we know they'll develop faster. We're invested in their success too — so we share the risk. This isn't a discount. It's alignment.
How Hire + Train works: Enroll your new hire in the daily micro-training program at $99/month for 12 months, and the $595 per-hire placement fee is completely waived. Your new hire gets coached from day one, and you save on the placement fee.
