I'm a sales recruiter, and 2 of my best hires bombed their interviews. Here's why I gave them jobs anyway.

I used to be a top sales performer, but one day I had a midlife crisis and wanted to try something different. Sales recruiting combined two things I loved - helping people and being passionate about sales. I wanted to get into it, but it felt like nobody would take a chance on me. I basically had to start my own company because nobody would hire me. I founded a sales and recruiting company called Right Choice Resources. We focus on hiring anyone from a junior-level salesperson to a sales leader.
