Why Our Sales Shortlists Don't Waste Your Time

Struggling with irrelevant candidates slowing your hiring process? Learn how better shortlists can save time and deliver top sales talent.

Are Your Candidate Shortlists Wasting Your Time?

Picture this: you’ve got a stack of CVs in front of you, but none of them hit the mark. You sift through one after another, only to realise you’ve spent hours and still don’t have a single candidate worth interviewing. Sound familiar?

Wasting time on irrelevant CVs is one of the biggest frustrations in sales recruitment. You’re not just filling a vacancy—you’re trying to find someone who can deliver results, grow your revenue, and fit seamlessly into your team. But how do you achieve that when the shortlists you’re given feel more like a random collection of names than carefully selected talent?

That’s where time-saving sales candidate shortlists from Coburg Banks come in. We don’t just send you CVs; we send you the right CVs.

The Problem With Traditional Recruitment Shortlists

Let’s be honest: not all shortlists are created equal. Many recruitment agencies rely on outdated methods or generic processes, leaving you with piles of CVs that don’t match your needs. Here’s what often goes wrong:

  • Quantity over quality: Some agencies focus on sending as many candidates as possible, assuming that one will randomly stick. Spoiler alert: it rarely works.
  • Irrelevant candidates: Without truly understanding your business or the role, agencies often send candidates who lack the skills or experience you need.
  • Unnecessary workload: The more irrelevant CVs you receive, the more time you waste filtering through them, delaying the hiring process.

These issues don’t just eat into your time; they also increase the risk of hiring someone who’s not the right fit. And we all know how costly a bad hire can be.

Before Coburg Banks: A Recruitment Process That Drains Your Resources

Think about what life is like before you partner with a specialist like Coburg Banks. You’re left juggling the recruitment process yourself or working with agencies that fail to deliver. Here’s what that often looks like:

  • Endless back-and-forth: You’re constantly rejecting irrelevant candidates and asking for better options.
  • Missed opportunities: Top-tier candidates slip through the cracks while you’re stuck dealing with unsuitable ones.
  • Longer hiring timelines: The more time you spend on recruitment, the longer it takes to fill the role—and the more revenue you risk losing in the process.

It’s frustrating, inefficient, and ultimately, it holds your business back. You need a solution that saves you time without compromising on quality.

Why Coburg Banks Shortlists Are Different

  • Expert knowledge: Our Sales Recruitment division specialises in finding high-performing sales professionals. We know what makes a great salesperson and how to identify the traits that lead to success.
  • Thorough screening: We go beyond the CV. Our rigorous screening process ensures that every candidate we shortlist has the skills, experience, and personality to thrive in your organisation.

With Coburg Banks, you can trust that every CV we send is worth your time. That’s the standard we set.
