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.

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
Included With Hire
6-Month Coaching Roadmap
Most onboarding fails because it's event-based. A few big sessions. A lot of content. Not enough behavior change. The 90-Day Onboarding Sprint is a daily rhythm that builds confidence, skill, and momentum through small wins — every day for 90 days.
