CompStudy is a survey of board and executive compensation (including equity participation) in privately-held technology and life sciences organisations. It is a collaborative trans-Atlantic effort led by Park Square Executive Search in Boston, Harvard Business School, Wilmer Hale and Ernst & Young. In 2013, 860 companies participated in the survey. In the UK, the CompStudy service is offered exclusively by Spectrum. The 2014 survey is now open.

Clients are often very nervous about sales recruitment. It is easy to understand why: • Sales performance is easy to measure, and therefore success - or failure - is very visible; • Sales is not a ‘profession’, and therefore candidates won’t possess a formal sales education as if they were a finance or legal professionals for example; • Sales models are changing, and therefore some sales methodologies are outdated; • Getting sales recruitment right is crucially important to a business, but so often it fails, which is why many candidates have numerous employers listed on their CV. However, there is an answer to successful sales recruitment.
