Manchester's commercial sector is moving fast. New businesses, expanding teams, ambitious targets — and everyone needs strong salespeople to hit them. The problem? So does every other company in the city.
At Coburg Banks, we've been recruiting sales professionals across Greater Manchester since 2002. We know this market intimately and we get results.
We've spent years building relationships across Manchester's commercial scene. We know who the strong performers are, which companies they work for, and what it would take to move them.
Manchester's top salespeople aren't on job boards. They're smashing their targets and not thinking about moving — until the right opportunity lands in front of them. That's what we do.
Fast, focused, and reliable. Shortlists within days of your brief.
Three-month replacement and rebate guarantee on every placement.
Hiring sales staff in Manchester? Talk to us.
Yes — we've been recruiting sales professionals in Manchester since 2002. We cover every type of sales role, from SDRs and telesales through to Sales Directors and Commercial Directors. We use Teams, Zoom, and face-to-face meetings to thoroughly vet every candidate before presenting them to you, so you only meet people who are genuinely right for the job.
We cover every level of seniority and every type of sales role you can think of. That includes SDRs, telesales, business development executives, field sales representatives, account managers, key account managers, national account managers, regional sales managers, Sales Directors, Commercial Directors, and Chief Commercial Officers. If it involves selling, we recruit for it — regardless of industry or sector.
Our average time to hire across all sales roles is 29 days. We typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates with you within a few days of receiving your brief. We can move quickly because we have immediate access to thousands of active and passive sales candidates — we're not starting from scratch every time.
Our fees typically range between 15% and 25% of the candidate's basic salary, depending on seniority and complexity. We'll give you a clear figure upfront before we start — no surprises. We also cap our fees, which means if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire, our fee stays the same. You won't pay more than the figure we quote you. And remember, you don't pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.
We'll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role. We'll ask about the skills, experience, and personality you need — the kind of person who'd genuinely thrive in your business, not just tick boxes on a spec. Then we get to work. You'll typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates within a few days. No pressure, no hard sell — if you don't like what we send, there's no obligation to go further.
You can recruit directly — many companies do. But here's what usually happens: you spend weeks writing ads, screening CVs, and chasing candidates, most of whom aren't right. Meanwhile the desk stays empty and revenue suffers. The best salespeople in Manchester are rarely actively looking for work. They're already performing well in their current roles and won't respond to a job ad. We reach these passive candidates through years of relationship-building and proactive outreach — giving you access to talent you'd never find on your own.
Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every single placement we make. If you have to dismiss a candidate within the first three months, we'll either find you a replacement or refund a proportion of the fee. It's there to give you complete peace of mind — and it means we're as invested in getting it right as you are. Give us a call and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.
Not until your new hire starts work. There's nothing to pay upfront, nothing on shortlist, nothing on interview. Our fee only becomes due once the successful candidate is sat at their desk working for you. That means the risk is entirely on our shoulders — if we don't find the right person, we don't get paid.
