Struggling to hire an Account Executive?
We find Account Executives that have the experience, tech stack, and quota attainment that make them the perfect fit for your company.
Let us save you time & money by doing the grunt work for you.
Are you a sales leader? Has your internal team sent you overflowing resumes of unqualified candidates? Has your Account Executive role been open for 3 months?
Here’s how we’ll find your next Account Executive hire.
Understanding the position
From our kickoff call, we take the time to understand the ins and outs of the Account Executive position you’re hiring for.
✔ What is their professional Sales background in? Cybersecurity? FinTech? MarTech?
✔ Can you describe a specific instance in which you exceeded your quota as an Account Executive
✔ How did you tailor your sales approach to effectively meet the needs of clients in those markets?
✔ Who do they have experience selling to, and what verticals?
We source through various large databases of connections to find you the top talent in your industry, even those who aren't necessarily in the job market. Before you even see their resume, we’ll interview & pre-qualify applicants.
Sourcing top tier AE candidates
Our team will manage the entire staffing process, facilitate communications, and accelerate offer acceptance – all while briefing the hiring manager on all feedback.
Facilitating & Hiring
Account Executive characteristics we screen for:
Industry Background
An AE with the right industry background has a competitive advantage over those without one, as they’re better equipped to navigate the complexities of the market and build meaningful relationships with clients.
Communication Skills
During the screening process, it is important to ask about specific situations where they had to communicate complex information to a client and how they approached the situation. We observe their presentation skills and active listening skills.
Quote Attainment
It’s important to screen an AE about the types of quotas they have been assigned and the industries or markets they have worked in. Their ability to successfully sell in a variety of environments and to close deals of varying sizes and complexities is crucial.
Average Deal Size
Screening an AE about their average deal size can provide valuable insights into their sales performance and success in closing deals. This helps us determine if their sales approach aligns with the needs and goals of your organization

Series C B2B SaaS company leverages Sloane Staffing to place 15 employees in four months and secure next round of funding.
“After receiving our Series B funding, our top priority was to grow our footprint in North America and expand our go-to-market & sales teams. We were working with over two dozen staffing firms and Sloane Staffing quickly emerged as our top partner.
Their ability to come in and find top-tier talent in a short period of time has allowed us to meet and exceed our growth targets ahead of time. Our growth targets are even bigger now that we confirmed our Series C and Sloane Staffing is our preferred partner working with multiple departments, hiring managers, and offices outside the US.

Maddison Wilson, Head of Sales, Nautical Commerce
“After months of internal efforts to try to hire the right sales team, we turned to Sloane Staffing, which came highly recommended by our network. Our task was challenging - we needed talent with very specific skill sets, all within a limited geographical region. As a Series A startup, we also ended up modifying the job requirements several times during the process, forcing many additional new searches.
Despite the challenge, Sloane was on top of every single request and went above and beyond to help us find the ideal candidates in a remarkably short time. The team was always available, answering calls and emails at all hours of the day, making sure every request was met. We are thrilled with the sales team they have assembled for us, and we plan to continue to leverage Sloane's expertise as our team grows!”
