salesjob Headhunter: Your premium partner for sales positions in the office furniture industry
Recruitment in the B2B sector of the office furniture industry places special demands on a head-hunter’s professionalism and skills.
Compared to technical or industry-oriented sectors, the focus in the office furniture segment is more on design, sustainability, and specific branding. While technical specifications and functionality often play the leading role in other industries, as head-hunters in the contract furniture industry, we have to offer a unique mix of commercial understanding, aesthetic awareness, and exclusive market access.
This requires specialist knowledge and a special approach that is clearly different from other industrial sectors.

The future of work environments
Focus on sustainability and a holistic approach
Modern workplaces need to be functional, flexible, and fit for the future. Companies face the challenge of creating spaces that optimally support the needs of both employees who regularly work in the office and remote workers. The analysis of work processes and space use is therefore a critical aspect in the design of office environments. It's about understanding who works how and which tools and spaces best support these ways of working.
The issue of sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the office furniture industry. Companies are looking for solutions that are not only functionally and aesthetically appealing, but also environmentally friendly. This includes selecting materials that are both recyclable and durable, as well as implementing environmental management systems that help minimise a company's environmental footprint. The demand for furniture produced in a way that is both ecologically and socially responsible is increasing.
Clemens Nau, Managing Director of salesjob and specialist headhunter for office furniture, has this to say:
“In a world that is constantly changing, it is essential for companies to not only keep up with progress, but also proactively shape work environments that promote efficiency, well-being, and sustainability. Nowadays, furnishing workplaces is no longer just about buying individual pieces of furniture such as tables or chairs. Rather, the focus is on creating holistic solutions that encompass all aspects of modern work processes – from acoustics to room management to lighting.
Issues such as sustainability and environmental awareness are playing an increasingly important role in this. As specialist head-hunters for the office furniture industry, we understand these developments and support our clients in finding the talents who can master these complex requirements."

Understanding of design & aesthetics
Design plays a central role in the office furniture segment. The products are not only functional and an expression of style and aesthetics, but also sustainable. Our customers in this segment expect every aspect of their space to convey the right message and represent their brand. As head-hunters, we must therefore have a strong understanding of design principles and current trends. This knowledge enables us to identify candidates who not only have sales skills, but also a passion for design and a sense of aesthetics, as well as a holistic view of work environments.
Technical understanding & product knowledge
In addition to a sense of design, comprehensive technical product knowledge is also essential. Office furniture can be complex products that have specific technical requirements, for example in terms of material properties, fire protection standards, or sustainability certifications. As head-hunters, we have to be able to understand the technical aspects and product features in order to effectively select the right candidates who are able to market these products competently and provide comprehensive advice to customers.
Industry knowledge & network
As specialist headhunters in the office furniture industry, we have comprehensive knowledge of the industry and an extensive network of contacts. This includes not only potential candidates, but also key decision-makers within the target industries. Our customers include manufacturers and retailers of furniture, flooring, fabrics, acoustic modules, sun protection, lighting, building automation, and partition wall systems. Understanding market trends and competition conditions, as well as knowledge of key players, are critical to successfully recruiting the best talent and advising our clients.
Skills in candidate assessment and matching
Assessing candidates requires a particularly differentiated approach in the office furniture industry. It is not only their professional qualifications that are decisive, but also the cultural fit and the candidate’s ability to operate in an environment that is often very design- and trend-oriented. As head-hunters, we have to have a deep understanding of the customer's corporate culture and their specific needs in order to correctly assess the suitability of a candidate.
Negotiation skills and strategic thinking
In the office furniture industry, it is often necessary for sales professionals to not only sell products, but also be able to develop long-term partnerships. Therefore, as head-hunters, we must not only identify excellent candidates, but also be able to assess their negotiating skills and strategic thinking. These skills are critical to building long-term, successful relationships between clients and their customers.
Professional integrity and confidentiality
In a market segment characterised by high investment and strong competition, discretion and confidentiality are of paramount importance. This includes the confidential handling of client information and the careful treatment of sensitive data. The ability to build and maintain trust is critical to success in this exclusive market segment.
