What vp/director of sales recruiters deliver.
VP/director of sales recruiters at Chameleon Collective are senior talent acquisition specialists who source, assess, and place revenue leadership across every sales function. They bring deep networks, proven assessment frameworks, and the operational experience to identify sales executives who will actually perform in your specific market, stage, and culture.
These are not agency recruiters running keyword searches. Our specialists have built sales teams, led talent acquisition functions, and placed hundreds of revenue leaders across B2B, B2C, enterprise, and high growth environments. They understand compensation structures, quota design, territory planning, and what separates a resume from a revenue generator.
Engagements span executive search for CROs and VPs of Sales, leadership builds for regional and vertical sales teams, interim recruiting leadership during transitions, and fractional talent acquisition for companies scaling without full time TA infrastructure. Every placement is backed by rigorous competency assessment, reference validation, and cultural fit analysis that goes beyond the interview.

- Previous sales leadership hires failed to deliver on revenue targets and you cannot afford another mis hire.
- Your internal recruiters lack the networks or expertise to source senior sales talent in your specific industry or geography.
- You need to build an entire sales leadership team and require coordinated, strategic recruiting across multiple roles simultaneously.
- A critical sales leader departed unexpectedly and you need immediate, expert recruiting support to minimize revenue disruption.

Engagement and pricing models.
Chameleon Collective offers three engagement structures for vp/director of sales recruiters depending on your scope and timeline. Fractional engagements provide ongoing recruiting leadership at a monthly retainer, ideal for companies with continuous sales hiring needs but no full time TA leader. Project based searches are scoped to specific roles with fixed fees or success based pricing, delivering defined outcomes without long term commitment. Interim placements embed a senior recruiter into your organization for a set period, providing full time leadership during transitions, scaling phases, or team builds.
Most engagements are billed monthly for fractional and interim models, or as milestone based payments for project searches. You pay for senior expertise without agency overhead, recruiter commissions, or inflated placement fees. Our vp/director of sales recruiters are structured to deliver impact within 90 days, whether that means closed roles, built infrastructure, or a pipeline of qualified sales leadership talent ready to interview.
