Technical sales search · United States
Diamond Recruiters places technical sales talent with industrial manufacturers across automation, process instrumentation and flow control. We recruit inside one market, deeply, instead of every market thinly.
Every candidate conversation starts with the real salary band. No exceptions.
Who we work with
Most agencies treat candidates as inventory and clients as invoices. We do neither. The whole business depends on both sides trusting what we tell them.
For employers
Territory sales, applications engineering, regional and national sales leadership. We map your market by name, approach people who are performing where they are, and hand you a slate you can act on.
How we run a search
For candidates
We tell you the client, the band and the territory on the first call. If the money is under what you need, we say so and stop there rather than spending three weeks of your evenings finding out.

Automation & SensorsSoutheast · Upper Midwest · Mountain West · Northeast
Own a territory of OEM and end-user accounts across factory automation, robotics and industrial connectivity for a European-headquartered sensor manufacturer with an established US sales organization.
Process InstrumentationTexas Gulf Coast
Own a book of refining, petrochemical and midstream accounts across control valves, isolation valves and flow measurement on the Texas Gulf Coast.
How we are different
It is the single most common complaint we hear from sales engineers: four rounds of interviews, a plant visit, a presentation — and then a number that was never going to work. Everybody's time burned for nothing.
So we do it the other way round. You get the client, the territory and the actual band before you commit to anything. If it does not clear your bar, we say so and stop there. It costs us placements. It has also made us the call people take.
Automation, instrumentation and flow control. We know what a DCS is, which EPC writes the spec, and why your last hire could not size a valve.
You get a short slate with a reason attached to each name, not twenty forwarded PDFs and a hope that one sticks.
Nothing moves without your say-so. Your current employer never learns you spoke to us.
The relationship does not end at the signed offer. We check in through the first ninety days, both sides.
Markets
Deep in a narrow band of industrial manufacturing — which is why our calls get returned.
Sensors, machine vision, industrial connectivity, safety and control components.
Flow, level, pressure and analytical measurement into refining and petrochem.
Control valves, isolation valves, actuation and the EPC project cycle.
Industrial robotics, motion control, drives and the integrators around them.
Switchgear, power quality, industrial electrical distribution.
Integrators and distribution partners who carry the line into the plant.
The search
No black box. You know what is happening at every stage, and so does the candidate.
Territory, product line, control architecture, the real comp band. We ask what the last person in the seat got wrong, because that is usually the brief.
We name the companies and the people inside them. You see the map before we approach anyone, so you know the search is grounded in your market and not a job board.
Confidential outreach to people who are performing where they are. The strongest sales engineers are not applying to anything — they are being called.
We test the engineering, not just the resume. Every candidate arrives with one number they can defend and an application story that holds up.
A slate you can act on, then we manage the offer, the counter-offer and the notice period. Most searches die at the counter-offer. Ours do not.
We check in with both sides at 30, 60 and 90 days. A placement that leaves in month four was not a placement.
Start here
Either conversation starts the same way — a short call, straight answers, no obligation on you. We reply to every message within one business day.
