Is staffing sales- a debate

You're selling a solution with a markup over the payrate with commission based on profit margin of total billing. Sales through and through.
I mean, if you have a quota I think it's sales. But IDK, are there headcount quotas in recruiting?
I agree, I’ve just heard other sales people who think that staffing isn’t sales. We not only have headcount quotas, but quotas based on profit as well as revenue.
I've never heard of a recruiter or staffing AE without a quota, also using same psychological Taekwondo as any other rep anywhere else.
My first sales role was in staffing, and it is definitely sales. You're cold calling, pitching a service, negotiating terms, closing...
It's a tough gig. Market is oversaturated with staffing companies, margins are thin, and your product is a living breathing human being that can fuck you over at any moment.
