At Woods & Co Recruitment, we understand that for manufacturing and industrial businesses, strong commercial talent plays a major role in driving growth, market share and long-term client relationships.
That’s why we’ve been proud to support Q Industries, an Australian-owned lighting manufacturer specialising in commercial, industrial and architectural lighting solutions, with recruitment across key sales functions.
For businesses operating in technical and specification-driven markets, hiring the right sales talent means finding people who can balance relationship building, commercial performance and product understanding.
Hiring strong sales talent in technical industries can be highly competitive, particularly when businesses need candidates who can sell complex solutions rather than simple products.
Q Industries’ hiring requirements included:
Senior Business Development Manager
Sales Representative
These roles required candidates with strong commercial capability, relationship management skills and the ability to engage with relevant stakeholders across construction, electrical, architectural and commercial markets.
As with many specialist industries, the strongest candidates were often already employed and not actively looking, making proactive search essential.
Woods & Co took a targeted recruitment approach focused on identifying relevant commercial talent from aligned technical and industrial sectors.
Our recruitment process included:
Talent mapping across manufacturing, lighting, electrical, construction supply and industrial sales markets
Direct headhunting of passive commercial talent
Detailed screening focused on business development capability, relationship management and cultural fit
Close consultation with Q Industries to understand growth plans, team structure and hiring priorities
Rather than relying solely on active job applicants, we leveraged our broader commercial recruitment network to access stronger off-market talent.
Through our partnership with Q Industries, Woods & Co has successfully supported recruitment across:
Senior Business Development leadership recruitment
Sales Representative recruitment
By acting as a genuine recruitment partner rather than simply filling vacancies, we’ve helped Q Industries secure commercial talent aligned with both their growth objectives and technical market requirements.
Woods & Co supports manufacturing, industrial and technical businesses with specialist recruitment across commercial and operational functions.
We regularly recruit:
Business Development Managers
Sales Representatives
Account Managers
Commercial Managers
Technical Sales professionals
Specification sales talent
Industrial leadership roles
If you're looking for a recruitment partner that can access both active and off-market talent, our team can help.
