What recruitment channels and specialists do members use for on-trade and off-trade sales roles, and what's experience with commission-only hiring?

Members use a mix of general job boards and specialist recruiters for drinks-industry sales roles.

**Recruitment channels:** - **LinkedIn** — highly recommended for roles with defined job titles where prior experience matters; members describe it as "amazing" for this type of hiring - **Indeed** — worthwhile because "almost everyone looks on it" - **Specialist recruiters** — e.g. **Lime Recruiting**, though noted as "way more expensive" than general platforms

**Recruitment specialists:** - **New Chapter Consulting** — members have used them and recommend them, saying they "have a good network of people" - **Young Foodies** — one member is currently working with them but reports it's "not proving to be that productive"

**Commission-only on-trade hiring:** One member confirmed they have experience hiring commission-only on-trade sales people, but the discussion excerpts do not contain details of their approach, challenges, or recommendations.

**Caveats:** The discussion shows members actively recruiting for account manager and on-trade sales roles, but most specifics are light. The commission-only experience was affirmed but not elaborated.
