About

Technical sales search for US industrial manufacturing.

Diamond Recruiters places technical sales people with industrial manufacturers and their distribution partners across the United States, with emphasis on automation, process instrumentation and flow control.

Industrial technical sales
Searches focus on automation, process instrumentation and flow control — the product lines where the sale still depends on plant-floor credibility.
The map before the approach
You see the named companies and people we intend to approach before we contact anyone. The search is grounded in your market, not a job board.
Compensation on posted roles
Each role under Open roles includes base and OTE ranges in the listing today. Confidential searches that are not posted are agreed in conversation.

What we do

Technical sales, industrial markets.

Analogue instrument gauges on a control panel

Selling sensors, instrumentation or flow control is not a transferable sales motion. The person has to walk into a plant, work out why the sensing is failing or why the valve is oversized, and turn that into a recommendation a controls engineer will accept.

Very few people can do that. Fewer still are looking for a new job at the moment you need one. So the search is a direct-approach exercise, run by someone who can hold the technical conversation well enough that a working sales engineer stays on the phone past the first thirty seconds.

That is the entire premise of the firm. We are not trying to be everything to everyone — we concentrate on industrial technical sales in those sectors.

How we operate

Four principles we actually run on

Written down so both sides can hold us to them.

01

Narrow beats broad

We recruit into industrial automation, process instrumentation and flow control. That is it. A generalist agency has to be told what a control valve is before it can find someone who sells them.

02

Say the awkward thing early

The band is too low. The job description describes two people. That candidate is strong technically but has never carried a quota. Saying it in week one is worth more than being agreeable until week eight.

03

Confidentiality is not a feature

It is the baseline. Nothing about a candidate reaches a client, and nothing about a client reaches the market, without explicit approval first.

04

Straight when it will not work

If the brief, band or timing does not line up, we say so early rather than running a search that was never going to close.

Coverage

Markets and territories

We recruit nationwide across the United States, with the heaviest concentration where industrial manufacturing is.
