Sales headhunter Cyprus

Your sales headhunter for the Cypriot market

Cyprus punches far above its size for industrial suppliers. Limassol is one of the world’s largest ship-management centres, EU funding is rebuilding the island’s waste and recycling infrastructure, construction and energy projects keep equipment imports growing — and on an island market, business still runs on personal trust and local presence.

That is exactly what we offer. JN Recruitment’s own office sits in Larnaca, which makes us the rare sales headhunter for Cyprus that works the market from the inside: we approach proven technical sales professionals directly — people who carry a network of contractors, ship managers, importers and municipal operators across the island. Every search is run in Greek and English, every candidate is interviewed against your niche, and every shortlist comes with verifiable track records.

Whether you need a first Country Manager to enter the market or a Sales Manager to grow an existing Cypriot customer base: our executive search for sales roles in Cyprus is built for one outcome — revenue responsibility in the right hands.

Market knowledge

Hiring sales talent in Cyprus: what employers should know

Recruiting in Cyprus follows its own rules — from salary structure to notice periods. The essentials we brief every client on before a Cypriot search starts:

13

Salary payments per year

A 13th salary paid in December is standard practice across the Cypriot private sector. We always quote annual gross so your Cypriot offers stay comparable with the rest of Europe.

1–8

Weeks of statutory notice

Statutory notice in Cyprus scales with tenure from one to eight weeks — even senior contracts rarely exceed one to three months. Compared to the German three-to-six-month standard, a Cypriot hire can be on board remarkably fast.

6

Months of probation

A probationary period of six months is standard for professional roles and can be extended by written agreement — enough time to see your new Sales Manager in front of real customers.

2

Business languages

Greek is the language of the island, but English is a full working language of Cypriot business — contracts, negotiations and technical documentation routinely run in English. That makes Cyprus one of the easiest EU markets to enter without local-language management.

Cyprus Q&A

Sales recruitment in Cyprus: frequently asked questions

Book a 30-min intro call

As a boutique sales recruitment agency for Cyprus, we run the full executive search for technical sales roles: direct approach of proven candidates, structured interviews and reference checks in Greek and English, salary benchmarking against the Cypriot market, and support through offer negotiation and signing. Every mandate is handled end-to-end by the consultant who took your briefing — from our own office in Larnaca.

We fill technical sales and sales leadership roles across Cyprus: Country Manager Cyprus, Head of Sales, Sales Manager, Area Sales Manager, Regional Sales Manager, Business Development Manager and Technical Sales Engineer. Typical mandates are the first or leading commercial hire of a machinery, industrial technology or recycling company entering the Cypriot market.

Exclusively industrial B2B niches: machinery and plant engineering, construction and building-materials equipment, marine and port technology around the Limassol shipping cluster, automation, industrial components, and recycling and environmental technology — a sector Cyprus is currently building out with EU funding. This focus means we already know the candidates, salaries and competitors in your Cypriot niche.

Cypriot generalist agencies concentrate on the island’s big employers — shipping, forex, iGaming and financial services — and the technical sales talent industrial companies need rarely answers their adverts. A specialised sales recruitment agency for Cyprus starts every search with an existing network of technical sales professionals in your niche, knows the realistic salary for each role, and can judge a track record in capital-equipment sales rather than just matching keywords on a CV.

Yes — and that sets us apart. JN Recruitment’s office at Artemidos 6 in Larnaca is one of our three European locations, alongside Germany and Poland. Searches for Cyprus are run by consultants who live and work on the island: direct approach and interviews in Greek and English, references checked with local industry contacts, and candidate meetings in person.

You typically receive a first shortlist within 2–4 weeks, and most Cypriot positions are signed within 6–10 weeks. Cyprus has a structural advantage here: statutory notice scales from just one to eight weeks with tenure, so a Cypriot hire often starts months earlier than an equivalent hire in Germany or Austria.

A Sales Manager in Cypriot industrial B2B typically earns €40,000–55,000 base and €50,000–70,000 on-target, annual gross. A Country Manager Cyprus reaches €80,000–110,000 OTE, a Technical Sales Engineer €35,000–50,000. Cypriot salaries usually include a 13th payment in December, and field roles typically come with a company car — we benchmark every mandate before the search starts.

Almost universally — English is a full working language of Cypriot business, and most professionals are genuinely bilingual in Greek and English. That makes Cyprus one of the easiest EU markets to manage without local-language leadership. Day-to-day selling to contractors, plant operators and municipalities still benefits from Greek, which is why we verify both languages in every interview.

Yes — that is the typical starting point of a market entry. Your first Cypriot hire can be employed through an Employer of Record, a local payroll setup or an existing EU entity while your Cypriot subsidiary is being established — a process Cyprus keeps deliberately business-friendly. We advise on what top candidates in Cyprus will accept and structure the offer accordingly.

The whole island. Most mandates centre on Nicosia — the commercial capital — and Limassol with its shipping, energy and construction cluster, but we also place field-based roles in Larnaca, Paphos and the Famagusta district. Distances are short, so Cypriot sales roles typically cover the entire market from one home base.
