UK Sales Recruitment Agency

Hiring in the UK isn’t slow because there’s a shortage of applicants. It’s slow because most of them aren’t right. You end up reviewing a stack of CVs, doing five first interviews to find one maybe.
We built Meritt to fix that. Every candidate we put in front of you has already been screened by a real salesperson. They’ve recorded a short video. They’ve taken a personality test. They know who you are and what you’re hiring for. You get a tight shortlist and a faster time to hire.
Our AI-led, Candidate‑first Process.

Less Time. Better Interviews
Practical AI that Delivers Value
Sales hiring in the UK is changing fast. Vacancy volumes have declined for over a year, but applicant numbers are rising sharply — especially in competitive markets like SaaS, tech services, and healthcare sales. This might sound like good news for hiring teams, but it’s created a different kind of challenge: high volumes of candidates, but fewer who are actually the right fit.
Recent research from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation shows that while there are more CVs, the time it takes to shortlist strong commercial talent is increasing. Companies are investing more effort upfront to spot coachable, driven individuals who can handle longer sales cycles or adopt hybrid roles that combine closing, prospecting, and customer success.
The stakes are higher, too. Salaries have risen year-on-year in sales roles, but candidate expectations have outpaced many employers’ budgets. A third of UK workers plan to move roles this quarter — and they’re weighing up offers not just on pay, but also on speed, communication, and how confident they feel in the process.
That’s where having the right hiring systems — or partners — makes a difference. Whether it’s early screening through psychometrics or structured candidate insights, the companies making fast, confident hires tend to be the ones who’ve built specialist support into their process.
The tools are there. AI-led vetting, candidate benchmarking, and job-specific shortlisting aren’t just buzzwords — they’re how modern teams are staying ahead, even as the hiring landscape shifts.
It’s not about volume. It’s about certainty, quality, and momentum. That’s why more UK companies are leaning on trusted recruitment partners to get their next hires right.

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.
