A high-touch recruitment and coaching service underpinned by expertise and value

  • Searching the market for the best performers

    Executive Search

    Getting sales recruitment consistently right is complex, but vital for any business when scaling the slopes of success, and it’s never been more important to get executive search right. Hiring mistakes are not just an inconvenience – they waste time, generate substantial ongoing costs and damage both staff morale and productivity.

    When hiring Life Sciences sales leaders, you will have peace of mind with Snowdon Talent on your team, because no one goes to the lengths we do to get it right.

  • True partnership in executive search

    True Partnership

    We work with you to build a multi-layered profile of what you need. This goes beyond the limited and superficial "Can they do the job?" factors such as experience, education, market knowledge, and contacts to also include what we call the "Will they do the job?" factors when actually working as part of your team in the real world.

    Your team, your culture, processes, and work environment are unique, so for someone to consistently perform to the best of their ability for you, they must fit in and be genuinely happy. We give you the tools, information, and ongoing support to make consistently better hiring decisions that lead to stable and high-performing sales teams.

  • Sales success guaranteed

    Guaranteed Success

    Over many years of recruiting leading sales professionals for Life Sciences, the commercial leaders we place invariably perform and keep performing in the long term. For our clients, stable and consistently high-performing sales teams have become the norm.

    Working with us, we are confident your new hire will be successful. Hence, we are not afraid to have some skin in the game, so we offer a 12-month guarantee with every placement.
