Your sales team is your revenue engine. A great hire accelerates growth; a bad one costs you quarters. Accelerate HC is a boutique B2B sales recruiting firm built by operators who’ve personally hired, managed, and scaled sales teams. We understand quota-carrying roles at a level most recruiters can’t match — because we’ve sat in the seat.

How We Evaluate Sales Talent
We don’t just verify quota attainment. Our screening assesses deal size experience, sales cycle length, selling methodology (MEDDIC, Challenger, Sandler), tech stack proficiency, and match to your specific sales motion. We check quota history, ramp time, and references from direct managers. This depth is possible because our team includes former sales leaders who’ve built the exact types of teams our clients are hiring for.
Our Process: The AHC COMBINE®
Every B2B Sales search begins with our proprietary AHC COMBINE®.
We build an Ideal Candidate Profile with your leadership team, source from a network built over 50+ years of combined experience, screen rigorously across 50–100 candidates, and deliver a shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Most searches close in 6–8 weeks.
The Cost of Getting Sales Hiring Wrong
A bad sales hire costs 6–10x their annual compensation when you factor in base salary, lost pipeline, management time, and opportunity cost. Our ICP-first approach and rigorous screening are specifically designed to reduce mis-hires — which is why 90%+ of our placements are still in role at 12 months and 75%+ of our clients come back for additional searches.
