Sales Accelerator is TSP’s direct recruiting solution focused on helping organizations build or expand their sales team in the healthcare and life science industries.

We work on small, specialized projects and some of the largest sales team builds in the industry.  Our partnerships incorporate full cycle, end to end recruiting with strategic consulting that includes sourcing, candidate engagement, screening and assessment, interview event management, onboarding, branding, and reporting.

Our operations group offers interview event options including in-person and virtual.  We have a thorough process in place to accommodate large virtual interview events utilizing state of the art video interviewing technology, virtual project management solutions, “on-site” staff coordinators, and more.

TSP has managed hundreds of direct hire sales team builds and expansions over the past three years.  We have continuously improved our process over time to ensure a best-in-class approach to recruiting, interviewing, and hiring.  However, what sets us apart from other organizations is our people.  We have a highly skilled staff of more than 100 recruiting resources who are specialized in life science sales recruiting. 

Our Executive Search group recruits across all segments within Life Sciences including C-suite, Clinical, Medical Affairs, Commercial, Manufacturing, and Corporate G&A.

Our tagline is “the power of personal” and we bring this to every search. Our solutions are custom built for our clients; we consider ourselves an extension of you during the search. The power of personal extends to our candidates and their experience as well; we make genuine connections and get to know them much deeper than just their resume to ensure total fit for our clients. We believe in relationships; the team that takes the search will be the same team that shakes your hand at the end. 

Every search matters to us, we will bring passive candidates to the table that are not on the market. Working with an Executive Search firm ensures you will find the best candidate available, not just the ones actively seeking new roles. We let top talent know that your organization is invested and serious about finding top talent with professional and focused outreach that might not be able to be accomplished by your organization due to internal bandwidth.

Retained – Search is a relationship-based business from both a client and candidate perspective. The Retained model allows us to conduct a thorough Search, tap into our network/relationships and dedicate time and resources to unearthing the best candidates which are the best possible fit for our client. However, we are open to some contingent work if we believe it mutually benefits our partnership.

Our team of I/O psychologists who use listening, objective data, and evaluation to help organizations achieve their talent goals.

We offer assessment of top candidates, defining or enhancing selection processes and tools, leadership coaching, and facilitated leadership development workshops for skill enhancement and team building.

Hiring a new employee is a big decision. We want to arm with you value-add, objective information to help you make the most accurate hiring decision. Personality assessments do just that – they help shed light on the candidate’s preferred work environment, work ethic, emotional intelligence, motivators, collaborative style, and overall disposition and help you determine whether they are a good fit for your culture. We believe these elements matter significantly when making hiring decisions, building a team, or developing your current employees.

Integrating one or more assessments in your current recruiting practice can be seamless. We start by listening to your needs, determining the right competencies, administering the assessments, and providing you with an easy-to-read executive summary of results.

We believe training your organization is the best way to ensure the interpretation and use of the reports are carried out in an ethical, fair, and unbiased manner. We will spend time training a small or large team describing the value of the assessments, the salient questions in the questionnaire, the attributes measured and how to review the reports.

tspSTORYTELLER is the branding, recruitment marketing and candidate experience arm of TSP that develops strategy and content with and on behalf of our clients.

Our team can work with or on behalf of your brand and marketing team to consult, expand upon or support your goals. There is a vast difference between marketing and brand awareness versus recruitment marketing and help recruiters fill jobs. As with all our services, we can customize our approach based upon your needs, though our primary goal is to help deliver the right talent at the right time to support your growth goals.
