Simply Sales Jobs is proud to reveal that we have launched our 2018-19 annual report!
The report covers data collected around jobseekers in the sales industry from our website in 2018-19, and was created to guide hiring managers with their recruitment strategy in 2019.
Our report contains insights like gender differences per role, job hotpoints, jobseeker motivations when searching for a new job, salary, growth in jobs advertised and sign ups, and category information.
We also sat down with CEO Ian Partington to get his view on 2019, and what lies ahead for 2020. Ian’s message is followed by a look in to the challenges sales recruitment has faced over the last twelve months, and we discuss the company’s approach to 2020 to combat them.
