Sales Recruitment
Hiring commercial people in intralogistics is not the same as hiring generalist salespeople. The best people understand throughput, return on investment, integration risk and the operational pressures their customers live with, and they are rarely on the open market. Evara's sales recruitment practice defines the role against the commercial outcome it exists to deliver, maps the right talent across the sector, screens for genuine commercial credibility, and produces shortlists you can act on with confidence.
Our process
01
We start with a structured kick-off that captures the commercial objective, not just the title. Reporting line, package, the deal sizes the person will sell, the technical buyers they will sell to, and the behaviours that succeed in your environment.
02
We map where the right people actually sit, across direct competitors, adjacent intralogistics sub-sectors and proven environments in your region. This becomes the longlist of candidates we approach, not just whoever is on the job boards this week.
03
Candidates are approached with a clear commercial narrative, not a job advert. We communicate the opportunity, the products, the customers and the growth path, so only genuinely relevant people move forward.
04
Two structured commercial screens before a candidate ever reaches you. Track record validation, deal-stage probing, technical credibility and a credibility check on the numbers they have actually delivered.
05
You receive a considered shortlist, not a CV flood. Each candidate is presented with strengths, potential risks and a fit assessment. We then support the process through to offer, acceptance and the first 90 days.

Pricing model
A dedicated search on a simple two-payment structure. A commitment deposit is paid up front to start the search and covers the strategic work (role profiling, market mapping, attraction pack, adverts). A completion fee, set as a percentage of the placed candidate's first-year remuneration, is invoiced on day 60 of employment. That sixty-day delay is the guarantee. No volume discounts, no contingent CV blast. We work on one assignment at a time per consultant so each search has the time it deserves.
FAQs
A typical search runs 6 to 10 weeks from kick-off to offer accepted. Senior searches sit at the longer end of that range. We will not rush a shortlist to hit an arbitrary deadline.
No. Every Evara search runs on a simple two-payment structure: a commitment deposit paid up front to cover the strategic work, and a completion fee invoiced on day 60 of the placed candidate's employment. This protects the rigour of the process and means we are accountable for the outcome, not for activity.
Most sales recruiters compete on speed and CV volume. Evara competes on the quality of the role definition, the market map and the commercial screen, with deep knowledge of the intralogistics sector. We place fewer roles, more carefully, with higher stick rates.
Every search runs with a sixty-day shared-risk window. The completion fee is not invoiced until day 60 of the placed candidate's employment. If they leave or are exited inside that window, no completion fee is charged and we will rerun the search at no additional fee where the original brief has not materially changed.
Material handling, warehouse automation and robotics, storage solutions, and warehouse and supply chain technology. We run searches against the geography of the seat, whether that is a single-site headquarters or a distributed field sales team.
From business development and account management through to area, regional and national sales management, key accounts and technical pre-sales. For director and above, see our leadership recruitment practice.
Yes. A meaningful share of Evara work is confidential, including replacing an underperforming seller before they are exited. We run those searches under a strict confidentiality protocol with a sanitised brief in market.
