Jordan Hayes.
Two years of cold outbound at a fintech scale-up, 112% of target last year. Moving for a team that coaches.
Spoke to Jordan on Tuesday. Opens on the buyer’s problem, not the pitch, and took a reframe mid-call without flinching. Worth an hour of your time.
Strong cold-outbound SDR. Probes before pitching, recovers fast under pressure, and ready to carry pipeline from week one.
Jordan starts with the buyer’s world before planning a single call. They ask what the market is struggling with, then work outward to the deal. When the interviewer offered a new angle, Jordan took it and built on it.

5 stars for Meritt
5 stars for Meritt - excellent communication, outstanding service, and a spot-on match between candidate and opportunity, both on salary and culture. Will was brilliant throughout the whole process. Any question I had was answered straight away, and I always felt well looked after. I landed a role that’s a great fit, and the whole thing wrapped up in under two weeks. 10/10!

Will got me the ideal role within a week. The process was methodical, thoughtful and exactly what I needed. I had sworn off working with any sales recruiters after poor experiences but Will blew everyone else out of the water
Good people say yes to a good process.
Book a call →Got an offer within 72 hours!
Working with Will was a very good experience. He was highly attentive to my preferences and requirements, and through Meritt, I was able to secure an offer within 72 hours!
Great overall experience
Great overall experience. Very fast and professional process. Will (the founder) keeps candidates in the loop and runs a fast & effective process. Founders/hiring managers get access to a pool of credible candidates that they would otherwise not have access to.
Smart, honest, helpful team
Will is professional, friendly, helpful and honest. It is refreshing to deal with such a well-spirited and knowledgeable recruiter who does more than talk the talk. I would consider working with the Meritt team in future both as a candidate and hiring manager.
Will is a hero.
Will is a hero. Will gave amazing advice, and Meritt stayed with me throughout the hiring process. I didn’t end up landing the role, but this was one of the best hiring experiences I’ve had — I was treated with respect and kept updated every step of the way.
Less than 24 hours
Will did an amazing job. Everything happened within less than 24h to get it secured. Thank you again and well done!
I had a fantastic experience working…
I had a fantastic experience working with Meritt. From the very first conversation, the process was seamless, transparent, and incredibly well managed. Will made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. He was extremely accommodating around my schedule, kept communication clear throughout, and ensured I was well prepared at every stage. Nothing felt rushed, but equally nothing was delayed. From first call to offer took just 3 days, which speaks volumes about how efficiently and professionally the process was handled. I’d highly recommend Meritt to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely supports you and moves quickly without compromising on quality.
This is how your candidates will describe you.
See the fees →Best recruiting experience I’ve ever had
I recently landed an amazing role through Meritt, and it was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with a recruiter. From the moment I uploaded my intro video to the final offer, everything felt smooth and straightforward. Will was my recruiter, but he’s also a co-founder of Meritt, so I knew I was in good hands from the moment we spoke. His approach was professional, genuine, and full of insight. He kept me updated at every stage, gave me valuable prep and feedback before my final round, and made the whole process feel personal rather than transactional. Compared to other recruiting companies I’ve worked with, Meritt truly cares about the people they work with. That level of dedication made all the difference for me, and I’ll absolutely be recommending them to my network.
Best recruiter ever
I’ve worked with a handful of recruiters, Will is by far the best recruiter I’ve ever worked for. Every step throughout the interview process was clear, communicated and most of all he was willing to go above and beyond to make sure I was prepared ahead of scheduled interviews. If you’re working with Will, you’re in great hands.
I wasn’t sure what to expect
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the Meritt personality test completely was great. It was quick, engaging, and actually felt relevant to the kind of role I was applying for. I’ve done plenty of applications where you just upload a CV and hope for the best, this felt totally different. It helped me reflect on how I work best and gave the employer a real insight into who I am, not just what’s on paper. Easily the best candidate experience I’ve had on a hiring platform
Brilliant
From first touch to last contact, Merritt was amazing. With the initial personality test that was extremely quick, easy and accurate to the explanation of the role with zero surprises entering the interviews and great communication throughout. It felt as if they were right there with me during the rollercoaster ride. Great guys
Meritt don’t just hire you for the job…
Meritt don’t just hire you for the job but train you for it. Meritt provided me with a bunch of free courses to gain knowledge to put me ahead of other candidates applying for the same job. The recruitment process was easy, straight forward, personal and video interview highlighted all my strengths and weaknesses accurately. Currently working the exact role and wanted and am happy with the recruitment experience from Meritt.
Awesome product
Awesome product, great for job hunters and companies looking for well vetted talent. The AI video coach is an excellent value add.
Bring us the role.
Book a call →Could not recommend Will more!
Will is leagues above any other recruiter I've ever worked with. He took the time to genuinely understand what I was prioritising in my next role, offered valuable advice and insights throughout the entire process, and communicated clearly at every stage — I always felt supported and in the loop. Both Will and the clients he works with are fantastic, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for their next opportunity in sales.
I GOT A JOB WITH MERITT!!!!
I GOT A JOB WITH MERITT The thing with meritt that has been truly unique is the blend of how the AI guides you to the right role and gives you presentation feedback – nice touch – but then when it comes to needing to speak to a human, they're there supporting you through the whole process. Always getting feedback on how to improve and present your best self forward. They really act as a talent agency rather than a recruitment agency.
Hiring with meritt, answered.
Are you an agency or a platform?
A recruitment service run by sales people, with our own AI assessment behind it. You get a shortlist with evidence, not a login and a licence.
What does it cost?
Posting a job is free. Promoting one is £100 plus VAT for 30 days. If you want us to hire for you, it is a flat fee per hire from £6k, agreed up front, not a percentage of salary. Teams hiring several roles at once take ongoing hiring from £500 a month.
How fast is it?
15 days from brief to signed offer, on average. Sourcing starts from a network of 35,000 salespeople rather than a cold advert, and assessment happens before the shortlist, so interviews start sooner.
What does "assessed" actually mean?
Every candidate has a spoken assessment. A sales expert scores it against four behaviours and the skills the role needs, and writes the fit report. Our AI does the transcribing and the first read, so nothing gets missed. Nobody is put forward or turned down by a machine alone.
What if the hire does not work out?
We agree terms including a replacement guarantee on the call. Ask and we will put it in writing.
What roles do you hire for?
Sales roles, from SDR to sales leadership. Say what you need when you book and we will tell you straight whether we can fill it.
Bring us the role.
Thirty minutes with a sales person. We scope the role and tell you straight if we can fill it.
