Sales Recruiters® Purpose
"It takes the best to represent the best" --Richie Harris Since 1973 we have practiced our profession in the sales and marketing arena. We represent talented, hard-working, successful individuals and quality companies where they are recognized, developed and rewarded. We are successful because of our clients, associates, friends and competitors. Sometimes our competitors are of more benefit than our friends. Our friends are often too polite to point out weaknesses, while our competitors try to capitalize on them. This motivates us to improve and forces us to discipline ourselves further. We need them. Our clients and associates have helped us develop by teaching, challenging and expecting more of us. On numerous occasions they have offered us guidance, constructive criticism and encouragement when we needed it the most. We couldn't have succeeded without them. We proudly sign our name to every service we provide. The expertise and reputation we enjoy is merely a reflection of all the professionals and organizations we have been associated with. Sales Recruiters® has the answer. By approaching the marketplace in the most comprehensively aggressive manner possible. Richard J. Harris, C.P.C., President and founder of Sales Recruiters® subscribes to this philosophy in all his company business operations. Continued successful recruitment is the result of thorough understanding, focused attention, sensitivity, and total belief coupled with determination. Sales Recruiters® has over thirty years of experience in placing sales, sales management, and marketing professionals with small, medium and Fortune 500 companies.

One of the most difficult tasks facing us when writing Selling at the Top was getting an accurate overview of the sales profession. We needed to consult with someone who is intimately involved in sales as a professional, yet not involved in the same way as the salespeople and managers we were interviewing.
Although we knew that a sales headhunter would fit the bill, we were reluctant to speak to one. We'd heard so many headhunters describe their profession as a numbers game based on the philosophy, "The more resumes you throw against the wall, the more that will stick." Thus, we approached Richard Harris with considerable hesitation. However, after speaking with him for three hours at our first fifteen-minute interview, we knew that we would never label him as a "headhunter." Richie - as he likes to be called - confirmed then and at many subsequent meetings that he is a recruitment professional in every sense of the word. Richie's unique view of sales recruitment, his meticulous research, and his absolute commitment to both his client and candidates, showed us the world of sales recruitment as it ought to be.
