Syl · Account Executive
Got it. I looked at everyone who fits and graded each on your criteria. Two strong matches, one near.

The maths
One agency hire, or a whole year of Syl.
A typical agency fee is a percentage of first-year salary. On Sylpen you pay a monthly plan and hire as many people as you like.
Illustration only. Agency fees vary. Standard is £249 a month, or £199 a month on a 1-year plan.
Questions
What companies ask about hiring for sales.
Can I hire for commission-heavy roles?
Yes. Base salary plus commission roles are fine. Put the base and the on-target earnings in your brief, and candidates see the salary before they say yes, so nobody is surprised at interview.
What does Syl ask about a sales role?
What the person will sell and to whom, the deal size and sales cycle, whether the role is new business, growing accounts or both, the quota, and the tools your team uses. Salary is never a must-have: it only decides whether a range overlaps.
How does Syl grade a match?
Line by line, against the must-haves and nice-to-haves in your brief. A green line needs evidence from the person's CV, profile or answers, and each line says where it came from. Quota and deal figures are what the person told us unless Sylpen looked them up, and the profile says which. Syl recommends; you decide who to meet.
Do you take roles selling insurance, mortgages or investments?
Not for now. Roles that sell regulated financial products (insurance, mortgages, investments, pensions or consumer credit) need FCA-related approvals and checks by the firm, so Syl declines those briefs politely. Selling software, services or anything else to financial firms is fine.
What does it cost?
Start on Free: one UK role with every match in full, and your first 3 meetings, no card needed. Post one job free too. To meet more people and make offers, Standard is £249 a month, or £199 a month on a 1-year plan. No hiring fee, however many you hire. Monthly plans cancel any time and run to the end of the month you've paid for.
How do you keep hiring fair?
Only UK companies Sylpen has verified can see candidates, and a candidate can hide their profile from their current employer. Syl refuses criteria that would discriminate, such as age or nationality, and suggests the lawful version. Every hiring decision is made by people.
