Finding a sales associate with Jobby

  • Why searching takes time. A sales associate in a specialty store needs to be able to do more than just handle transactions: build product knowledge, advise customers, and close a sale. That combination of advisory skills and interest in your product range is harder to find than a general store employee. On JobFunders, there are 300+ vacancies open for sales associates in Flanders (surveyed in September 2026): so you are competing with many other employers for the same people.
  • Typical regimes. Full-time or part-time contracts with Saturday work, weekend rotations in garden centers or DIY stores, and extra staffing during trade fairs, sales, or your industry's peak season.
  • This is how Jobby helps. Jobby searches talent pools of 260,000+ profiles 24/7 and also activates passive candidates who do not respond to vacancies. The first SMS invitations are sent within 2 minutes of activation; you will see your first candidates within 48 hours. If you set "experience in consultative selling" as a must-have, you will receive candidates who have already spoken with clients. Jobby invites them, you conduct the conversation.
  • Minimum wage. The applicable minimum wage depends on your company's joint committee. You can find the amounts in the Minimum wage database of the FPS Employment.
  • Fair price. An annual subscription of €1,500 (Solo) to €6,000 (Scale) with a match guarantee, or €100 per approved candidate. A free ATS is included and there are no selection fees.
  • And compared to interim? As a market average, a traditional interim agency charges a coefficient of approximately 2.10 on the gross salary for the duration of the interim period. If you still wish to start on an interim basis, Jobby finds and screens the candidate, and you work via payroll for an interim partner at a market-average coefficient of approximately 1.60. These are estimates: adjust them with your figures in the recruitment cost calculator. If you need sales staff who are immediately available on very short notice, an interim agency can be the right choice.
