We are having difficulties finding two suitable candidates for the sales profile. It is primarily a client acquisition role for financial products and is based in Dadar, Mumbai. We do not want to engage an HR agency at the moment but have subscribed to a job site < mon*.com>. It has been almost 2 months, and we are still unable to find a single candidate.
Question:
1. We are planning to offer a take-home salary of 15k plus actual TA. Is this not a fair salary for this profile?
2. We do not have a dominant brand presence but are known in Mumbai's broking industry. Is this lack of brand recognition causing challenges in attracting candidates?
3. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could provide guidance on how to hire a candidate.
Thanks & regards,

While shedding more light on the JD/JS and the required competence for this profile will make it more appealing even to passive candidates, you must also specify if the candidate needs to be from the specified vicinity and the target threshold as mentioned by (Cite Contribution).
Having said all this, I would also like to acknowledge all the time you've spent waiting for the right candidate. I suggest you allow local Placement Agencies to provide you with shortlisted candidates. Since the number of positions to fill is small (i.e., 2), you can pay them on a per-shortlisted-candidate basis. This will be light on your pockets and also relieve you of the stress quickly; hopefully!
Kindly let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you.

Dear Sajal, thank you for the suggestion. I have already posted the JD. Please have a look. However, as I mentioned initially, we don't want to involve any job agency. It would be great if people from this group could guide us to find two candidates.

Above-average communication skills are particularly required for this profile. An MBA fresher is acceptable, but we are also open to suitable graduates. It is nice to have this kind of support; thanks once again.
Thank you.

Dear 1979,
I have left my mobile number with a lady from his organization. I am waiting for the response from him.
We have now decided to hire an HR firm for this recruitment. So, if possible, suggest some good and reputed HR agencies from Mumbai. The current requirement is 4-5 heads.
