Recruiting sales consultants for Moscow retail outlets: how to search?

[mahmudaaktar]

The real Bermuda Triangle of recruitment is finding sales consultants for the countless shops and boutiques of Moscow. It would seem to be a great niche for a freelancer: get yourself 3-4 client shops and find them 4-5 salespeople a month, earning 100,000 – 120,000 rubles. The money is good, the work is quite simple, and the speed of decision-making and payment here is not the same as in large bureaucratic companies.

That's true. But the reality of life is that not every freelancer is capable of such a feat, and here's why:

A typical sales consultant gets a job the day after posting his usa phone number list resume on websites, and hunting for such a person is a whole science. Therefore, rule number 1. This task assumes ONLY an active search.
You can't lure a candidate by simply telling him about the product and salary in a sad tone, because you are the 12th recruiter who called him that day, and this leaves an imprint on the perception of your offer. Hence rule number 2. Be able to speak vividly about the advantages, and God forbid your salary is 5 kopecks below the market.
Out of 40 candidates called, 10 will agree to come, and you will be very lucky if at least one actually makes it to the interview. Rule 3. The recruiter must call a lot, and every day. If the client has less than two candidates per day for a face-to-face meeting, the recruiter is lazy.
Well, whether this one will be liked, whether he will go to the internship, whether he will last the first week - science does not know.
General conclusion: the chances of filling the vacancy appear with a specialist who has experience in such selection, knows the funnel, is able to call 100 people a day without getting tired for weeks and months in a row, and at the same time, is able to tell the customer about the vacancy in an interesting way, and not about its hardships.
