Smile Talent

Smile Talent is a Paris-based boutique recruitment firm dedicated exclusively to Sales and Sales Leadership hiring for technology companies. Founded and led by sales professionals, including CEO Gérald Chiche, the firm was built on a simple truth refined through experience at global employment leaders such as Indeed, Cadremploi, Talent and Monster: the best commercial performers do not apply—they are proactively headhunted. Smile Talent focuses on permanent (CDI) placements across the full sales org, from Account Executives, Enterprise Sales and Account Managers to Key/Channel/Inside Sales, Sales Managers, Regional Sales Directors, Heads of Sales, VP Sales, CCOs and CROs. Operating at the heart of the French tech ecosystem—SaaS, Software, IoT, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, AI and Cloud—the team blends sector fluency with a direct, ultra-personalized approach and a proprietary network of 25,000+ sales profiles to identify candidates who drive measurable revenue impact. Their methodology starts with deep discovery and a feasibility assessment within 24–48 hours, followed by a tailored market strategy after one week of immersion, structured reporting and feedback loops, and hands-on support through offer, negotiation and onboarding. Smile Talent positions itself as a true growth partner to startups and scale-ups, addressing critical topics head-on—compensation, selection criteria and cultural fit—to de-risk hiring and accelerate go-to-market. Candidate experience is part of the firm’s DNA; every interaction is transparent, respectful and outcome-oriented to protect employer brand and secure long-term success. The team maintains post-hire follow-up and, when required, restarts searches at no cost to ensure performance in the crucial first months. Direct, expert and results-driven, Smile Talent hunts where top sellers are, even when they are not looking, enabling clients to secure rare talent that raises the bar for sales execution and revenue growth.
