  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2022 - The Sciolytix Sales Hiring Index (SSHI) fell from 100.0 in July to 97.9 in August 2022. The SSHI measures relative demand for full-time sales talent in the US over the last 30 days through new sales job postings on Zip Recruiter, Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdoor.

    The decrease of 2.1 points suggests a slight drop in demand for salespeople over the past 30 days. However, the reduction is not adjusted for seasonality, such as hiring slowdowns during vacation-heavy summer months.

    Open Sales Jobs July 2022 August 2022
    ZipRecruiter - US Sales 548,204 546,371
    Indeed - US Sales 146,230 124,948
    LinkedIn - US Sales 69,363 76,111
    GlassDoor - US Sales 46,141 45,729
    Total 809,938 793,159
    Sciolytix Sales Hiring Index 100 97.9

    Although the SSHI fell month over month, demand for sales talent remains high and filling sales roles is difficult and slow.

    According to results from the 2022 Gartner Tech CEO Talent Survey, the time to hire for sales roles varies widely across position levels in the organization; from entry-level, to mid-experience to senior-level candidates. Not taking this into account will impede their ability to scale talent through hiring new salespeople.

    Among organizations reporting revenue from $2 million to $250 million:
    • 53% of senior-level hires took more than 90 days, with 32% taking from 60 to 89 days.
    • 30% of mid-experienced candidates took more than 60 days.
    • 56% of entry-level candidates took less than 30 days to hire.

    According to Dario Priolo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpriolo/), Sciolytix Chief Marketing Officer and creator of the SSHI, “It is hard to believe, but for organizations that want to start 2023 fully staffed and ramped, now is the time for planning sales coverage.”
