Hire a sales directorLooking for a job?A leader who has run a sales team with a target, knows how to turn a market into a pipeline and reports numbers to the owner in a form the owner can act on.
We check what the person actually delivered in numbers and how they lead a team, not only the title on the CV.
A sales director is paid for a target, so agree the target, the period and the bonus rule with the candidate in writing before the start date. The employer sets the final terms and makes the hiring decision.

Market estimate. Industry, the size of the team led, the revenue the person is responsible for and the share of bonus in the package move the figure. The role often has a large variable part tied to the target.
Besides the salary, the employer covers the work permit and residence visa, medical test, Emirates ID and mandatory health insurance. By UAE law these costs cannot be deducted from the employee's pay.
Exact visa and insurance costs depend on company category, emirate and plan. See the full cost of hiring guide or ask us for a budget for your case.
Market estimate: about 30,000 - 45,000 AED per month plus bonus in a small or mid-size company, 45,000 - 70,000 AED in a group or multi-site business and 70,000 AED or more for a commercial director. The figure depends on the industry, the team size and the bonus plan.
A sales manager runs a team or a territory and works with clients. A sales director owns the whole sales function: strategy, the process, the target and the managers. If the owner still closes the main deals and the team is small, a strong sales manager may be enough; the director fits when there are several managers and a target to build toward.
Our fee is fixed for each role and agreed before the search starts. A 10% prepayment of the fee starts the search, the rest is due once the person has started work. If it does not work out, we find a replacement free of charge; the period is set in the contract.
