Professional & office recruitmentSales and marketing recruitment in Toronto and the GTA
Finch finds sales and marketing professionals who can bring in revenue and build your brand, and screens them before you spend time on interviews.
Sales and marketing hires shape your revenue more directly than almost any other role. A strong sales representative or account manager keeps your pipeline full and your customers loyal, while a capable marketing coordinator or digital specialist makes sure the right buyers hear about you. A poor hire in these seats is expensive: lost deals, missed campaigns and months spent rebuilding momentum. Finch recruits sales and marketing professionals for employers across Toronto, North York, Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga and the wider GTA.
We work on a retainer, agreed per position based on what the role requires. After a consultation to understand your product, sales cycle, territory and targets, we advertise the role, source candidates directly and screen each one against your requirements. You receive a shortlist of suitable people, and we arrange the interviews. Once you make an offer, we follow up after the start date to see how the new hire is settling in. You stay focused on running your business while we handle the search.
Why sales and marketing hires are hard to get right
01
Sales candidates tend to interview well, so a confident conversation tells you little about whether they actually hit their targets in their last role.
02
Job titles vary widely between companies, and an account manager at one firm may do work closer to inside sales or customer service at another.
03
Digital marketing tools and channels change quickly, so you need someone whose skills are current, not a résumé built on platforms from years ago.
04
Good performers are usually employed and not answering job ads, which means reaching them takes direct sourcing and a credible, well-prepared approach.
How we screen sales & marketing candidates
- Track record against quotas, targets or campaign goals, explored through detailed questions and reference checks
- Experience selling or marketing to a buyer similar to yours, whether business-to-business, consumer or a specialized sector
- Hands-on familiarity with the CRM, advertising and analytics tools your team uses
- Communication in writing and in conversation, including how they present and handle objections
- Fit with your compensation structure, territory, travel needs and work arrangement

Sales & marketing recruitment: questions employers ask
Do you recruit commission-based sales roles?
Yes. Many sales roles combine a base salary with commission or bonuses. During the consultation we review your compensation plan, territory and targets so we can present the role clearly to candidates and screen out people who are not comfortable with how you pay. That avoids surprises at the offer stage and early turnover after the hire.
Can you find marketing people with specific platform experience?
We can. If your team runs on particular advertising, email, social or analytics platforms, we include that experience in the search requirements and test for it during screening. We ask candidates to walk through real campaigns they managed, what they measured and what changed as a result, rather than relying on a list of tools on a résumé.
How is your fee structured for sales and marketing searches?
Finch works on a retainer basis only. The fee is agreed per position based on its requirements, such as seniority, specialization and how hard the role is to fill. The retainer is paid up front to begin the search, and it covers advertising, sourcing, screening and arranging interviews with your shortlist.
