Sales engineers often bridge the gap between the sales team and a customer’s team of internal engineers to ensure that their product or service is the right solution. It takes a skilled recruitment and executive search agency to find candidates with the right combination of sales, customer service and technical knowledge needed. 180 Engineering is the recruitment firm with the know-how and experience to find these rare individuals.
Our clients want sales engineers who possess experience building strong customer relationships, who know how to work with engineering requirements, and can come up with the right technical application. Every candidate we work with must pass a thorough technical and soft skills interview with a recruiter from our team. We are a search firm known for their quality of candidates which we attribute to our screening process.

Fortunately, the HR manager had worked with 180 Engineering before on several tough to fill positions so she immediately picked up the phone and called in for support on this search.
180 Engineering held a thorough intake meeting with the hiring manager to understand the skills needed and context for this role and soon after, our team of award winning recruiters was searching through our network of sales engineers, sourcing LinkedIn, and following up on referrals.
The client was delighted to see the candidate we found working at a competitor company. The candidate possessed the right mix of technical knowledge while being an expert sales relationship builder needed for this crucial role.
