Manchester Sales Recruitment Insights
Manchester’s growth as a business hub has transformed its sales hiring landscape. With tech parks, creative agencies, and major retail operations calling the city home, the demand for strong sales professionals is steady year-round. The challenge is that Manchester’s talent pool is broad, covering everything from junior inside sales to senior account management, and not all candidates have the specific skills needed for competitive sectors.
Applicant numbers have risen as more people look to move into the city from surrounding areas. While this widens the pool, it also increases the number of applications that require careful review. A polished CV doesn’t always tell the full story about resilience, closing ability, or adaptability to long sales cycles.
Employers making consistent, high-quality hires in Manchester tend to be those who invest in structured selection processes early on. Using personality profiling and skill-based sales tasks before the interview stage allows them to move faster and avoid the risk of rushed decisions. Those who take this approach often secure candidates who not only meet targets but also stay longer in their roles, reducing turnover and keeping teams stable.

From first touch to last contact, Meritt 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 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.

I’ve used Meritt to personally find a job. The UI is very easy to use, you’re not bombarded with ads, the entire process from applying to a role to landing it and learning the skills required in between is absolutely amazing!

I joined Meritt a few months after graduating from University, in search of a sales role. The range of free(!) courses and modules offered to help gear grads towards landing their first role was really refreshing and valuable. I personally thought the AI sales personality test was also brilliant, it gave instantaneous, measured feedback on the competencies it takes for a great sales person. After just a few applications with Meritt, I received an offer for a role! The seamless user interface, engaging modules and genuinely helpful representatives made the tough process of applying and managing applications feel like less of a chore.

Stumbled across Meritt on my job search, where at the time I was looking to make the jump from BDR to AE. Found a number of unique roles not advertised on LinkedIn, and was able to have a personal conversation with Will, who was incredibly helpful.
Landed an AE role at a great company - incredibly happy with that result!

It’s not every day you meet someone like Will!
Someone who genuinely cares, listens, and shows up with real empathy and intention. From our very first chat, it was clear he wasn’t just going through the motions. He really took the time to get to know me, beyond just the usual job-talk stuff.
Thanks to his support, I got connected with some amazing companies who were all filled with great people and strong leadership. And honestly, it all made sense. You could feel the thread between who Will is and the kinds of people and companies he works with.
He doesn’t just make introductions, he opens the right doors, with the right people, for the right reasons.
Grateful for the time he gave and the care he brought to the process.

I’d recommend Meritt.co to anyone looking to find a new role catering to their profile.
The platform is easy to use, with a simple interface, using intelligent, relevant AI to streamline the process.
I had my profile up and running within an hour, complete with a video, with offers being listed according to my criteria.
