Sales job boards for reaching commercial candidates
The best place to advertise a sales job depends on the level, market, location and type of selling involved. A telesales role, field sales position, B2B business-development vacancy and senior sales leadership hire can attract very different candidate audiences, so using a mix of specialist and wider recruitment channels can be effective.

View Job Advert TemplateTips for advertising a sales job
Sales candidates usually want to understand the earning opportunity, target, product, market and lead-generation model quickly. Make the commercial reality of the role clear instead of relying on vague claims about uncapped potential.
Separate basic salary from OTE
Show the guaranteed basic salary and realistic on-target earnings separately so candidates can understand the actual compensation structure.
Explain how commission actually works
State whether commission is capped or uncapped, what triggers payment, how often it is paid and whether there are thresholds, accelerators or team components.
Give candidates context on the target
Rather than saying “target driven”, explain the KPI or revenue expectation and, where appropriate, whether the current team typically achieves it.
Describe what they will actually sell
Explain the product or service, typical deal size, sales cycle, customer type and market so candidates can judge how transferable their experience is.
Be clear about where leads come from
Say whether the role is primarily self-generated outbound, inbound, account-based, channel-led or supported by marketing and SDR activity.
Explain territory and travel
For field roles, specify the territory, expected customer visits, overnight travel and whether a company car, allowance or mileage reimbursement is provided.
Say whether it is new business or account management
Candidates need to know whether they inherit customers, grow existing accounts, hunt for new logos or balance both types of sales activity.
Mention CRM and sales methodology only when relevant
If Salesforce, HubSpot, MEDDICC, SPIN or another system matters, include it — but avoid turning familiar tools or methodologies into unnecessary barriers.
What sales candidates want to understand from your advert
Sales titles can look almost identical while the actual opportunity differs dramatically. Make the earning model, market, target and selling environment clear enough for candidates to judge whether the role fits their track record.
Review your sales advertWhat can they realistically earn?
Give the basic salary, OTE and commission model rather than presenting one headline figure that mixes guaranteed and variable pay.
What are they expected to achieve?
Explain the target, KPIs or quota and give enough context for candidates to understand the level of performance expected.
What are they selling and to whom?
Describe the product or service, B2B/B2C audience, decision makers, typical customer and approximate sales cycle.
Where does the pipeline come from?
Clarify how much prospecting is self-generated and what support comes from inbound enquiries, marketing, SDRs or existing accounts.
Is it new business, account growth or both?
Make clear whether the person starts with an existing book of business or is primarily responsible for winning new customers.
Where will they actually work?
Explain office, hybrid, remote or field expectations plus territory, customer visits and any regular travel requirements.

View AI recruitment toolsAdvertising sales jobs: frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about posting sales vacancies, choosing job boards and creating an effective sales recruitment campaign.
Ask us about your vacancyWhere is the best place to advertise a sales job?
The best channel depends on the role and market. Sales-Jobs.co.uk offers specialist sales exposure, while CV-Library, Reed, LinkedIn, Indeed and Totaljobs can add broader reach. From Career Poster's own experience, CV-Library is a particularly useful premium starting point for many sales campaigns.
How do I post a sales job?
Start with a clear advert containing the job title, basic salary, OTE, commission structure, location, target market, sales responsibilities and key requirements. You can then post directly to a chosen board or use a multi-board advertising service.
Should I advertise basic salary and OTE separately?
Yes. Candidates should be able to distinguish guaranteed pay from variable earnings. Show the basic salary separately and explain what needs to happen for the advertised OTE to be achieved.
What should a sales job advert say about commission?
Explain how commission is calculated, whether it is capped or uncapped, when it is paid and any thresholds or accelerators that materially affect earnings. Avoid using “uncapped earning potential” as a substitute for explaining the plan.
Should I mention sales targets in the advert?
Providing useful target context can help experienced candidates assess the opportunity. You do not need to disclose every internal KPI, but the advert should give a realistic picture of what success in the role looks like.
Is CV-Library good for sales recruitment?
In Career Poster's experience, yes. We have found CV-Library to be a strong premium channel for a range of sales vacancies, although results vary by role, location, salary and market. We normally favour multi-board coverage rather than relying on one source alone.
Can Career Poster advertise sales jobs across multiple job boards?
Yes. Career Poster provides multi-board job advertising packages that can distribute sales vacancies across relevant premium and free recruitment channels depending on the package selected.
Can I manage sales applications through Career Poster?
Yes. Employer hiring tools are included so applications can be reviewed, shortlisted and managed through your Career Poster dashboard.
