What You'll Do
Run discovery to understand a company's hiring needs, decision-makers, and timelines, then present relevant recruiting services.
Manage sales conversations, respond to objections, negotiate terms, and close agreements.
Follow up consistently, maintain accurate CRM records, and hand off new customers to the delivery team.
Partner with sales development representatives to improve meeting quality and outreach.
Share customer feedback to help improve sales messaging, pricing, and processes.
Follow up on inbound interest and conduct outbound prospecting when appropriate.
What We're Looking For
Experience closing B2B deals as an account executive or in a similar full-cycle sales role.
Comfort speaking with founders and hiring managers and leading sales conversations from first meeting to close.
Experience selling to SMBs or startups is helpful, as is experience in recruiting, staffing, or HR services.
Strong follow-through, reliable CRM habits, and openness to coaching.
Measurable sales results, such as quota attainment, deal sizes, revenue ranking, or sales cycle length, are useful.
Interest in startups and using AI tools in a sales workflow is a plus.
