New Data from InsightSquared and Bullhorn Uncovers Staffing and Recruiting Firms' Biggest Sales Challenges, Expectations for 2015

This survey of staffing and recruiting leaders and sales leaders will help others in the industry understand key concerns and challenges in the growing sales space. According to "Sales Challenges Your Staffing Firm Will Face in 2015," staffing and recruiting firm leaders believe that 2015 will be a good year: 76% of respondents expect to grow their sales teams over the next year, while none plan to decrease the size of their sales teams.

Although firms who participated faced many challenges, there were three main areas of concern when it came to firms' growth: expanding their client base, growing and training their sales teams, and finding and recruiting qualified candidates.

The "Sales Challenges Your Staffing Firm Will Face in 2015" infographic is the first of a two-part analysis that Bullhorn and InsightSquared will release together. The companion report will cover sales benchmarking best practices from more than 200 best-in-breed recruiting firms in the U.S. and will be released in early 2015.

"We're proud to partner with Bullhorn to produce valuable industry trends and benchmarks like these analyses. Our partnership has always been focused on enabling staffing and recruiting firms to grow sales, and their businesses, smarter and more effectively," shared CEO & Founder of InsightSquared, Fred Shilmover.

Bullhorn Director of Global Alliances, Leah Daniels, further iterated Shilmover's sentiment: "It's essential that we not only push the conversation around staffing industry sales growth, but to drive fundamental technology and process improvements. We want to help firms understand the best practices they need to grow revenue and expand their client base. Both organizations are dedicated to providing the necessary tools to implement and adopt real change in the sales organization to fuel unprecedented growth."
