Service models

How teams usually hire this role.

Start with the role first, then choose whether you want Cherry involved after launch, a one-time recruiting handoff, or a custom structure around a bigger rollout.

Managed hire

Monthly support with active Cherry involvement after launch.

Best when sales development representative work is recurring and you want Cherry involved with payroll, onboarding, and ongoing support.

Best for

Teams that want lower management overhead after the candidate starts and prefer a recurring managed relationship.

How it differs

Cherry stays involved after launch instead of handing the hire off immediately.

Explore managed hire

Direct placement

One-time recruiting help, then your team manages the hire in-house.

Best when you want Cherry to source and vet sales development representative talent but your internal team will own payroll, management, and retention.

Best for

Teams with internal managers and a clear post-hire owner who want recruiting support without a monthly management layer.

How it differs

You pay a one-time placement fee instead of a recurring monthly managed plan.

Explore direct placement

Enterprise / custom

Custom support for multi-role hiring, mixed models, and rollout plans.

Best when this sales development representative hire is part of a broader buildout or needs a custom structure that does not fit a standard lane.

Best for

Operators building pods, hiring across multiple functions, or combining managed hire with direct placement support.

How it differs

The scope, pricing, and support structure are custom instead of fitting one standard service path.
