For businesses hiring in tech & SaaS sales

Your next great tech sales hire is out there. We'll find them.

Building a sales team inside a tech or SaaS business is one of the hardest things you'll do. You need someone who understands the motion, can sell software, and thrives under pressure. That's a very specific person. We know how to find them.

Business team in a hiring discussion

The wrong sales hire is expensive. Really expensive.

A bad sales hire doesn't just miss quota. They burn relationships, slow your pipeline, and cost you months of lost momentum by the time you've figured it out and started again. Most businesses learn this the hard way. You don't have to.

Average cost of a bad sales hire: 3–5x their annual salary
Time to identify and exit a poor performer: 4–9 months
Pipeline damage from a disengaged rep: hard to quantify, impossible to ignore

Why businesses choose Dux Recruitment

Real sales experience in tech

Dux Recruitment was founded by a sales professional with hands-on experience across the sales landscape — from ISR to management. We know what top-performing sales professionals look like, and more importantly, what separates the ones who stick.

Boutique by design

We deliberately work with a small number of clients at any one time. That means every search gets proper attention — not a templated process handed off to a junior consultant.

Entry level to management

Whether you need your first SDR or a Sales Manager to lead a team of five, we cover the full stack across tech and SaaS. No C-suite — that's a different game.

Curated shortlist, not a CV dump

You'll receive a carefully selected shortlist of qualified candidates with detailed profiles and our honest assessment. No padding the list to look busy.

90-day replacement guarantee

If the hire doesn't work out in the first three months, we find a replacement at no extra cost. We're not interested in placements that don't stick.
