The Opportunity
We're building the founding sales team for a product that's redefining what's possible in talent acquisition. This isn't selling workflow automation or incremental improvements - you'll be selling
transformative AI technology
that fundamentally changes how companies evaluate talent. If you want to be at the forefront of the AI revolution in enterprise software, selling technology that customers are genuinely excited about, this is your opportunity.
What You'll Do
- Evangelize AI-native hiring to HR and talent acquisition leaders who are ready to move beyond legacy recruiting tools
- Prospect and qualify leads through outbound calling, email campaigns, and social selling, identifying companies ready to adopt AI
- Conduct live AI demonstrations that showcase how our technology conducts intelligent, adaptive interviews - not scripted questionnaires
- Articulate the AI advantage - explain how our deep learning models, natural language processing, and adaptive algorithms deliver better hiring outcomes
- Manage the full sales cycle from initial contact through close for small to mid-market accounts
- Partner with Account Executives on enterprise deals, positioning AI Interviewer as the intelligent layer in their talent acquisition stack
- Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets while building pipeline for long-term growth
- Become an AI expert - deeply understand how our models work, stay current on generative AI trends, and speak credibly about AI capabilities and limitations
- Gather market intelligence - feed insights from conversations back to product and marketing teams as we rapidly iterate
- Maintain disciplined pipeline management in Salesforce using our sales methodology
What We're Looking For
- Genuine excitement about AI - you follow AI developments, understand why this technology matters, and can speak authentically about its potential
- Natural curiosity - you ask great questions, dig into how things work, and want to understand the "why" behind the technology
- Strong communication skills - you can translate technical concepts into business value and make AI feel accessible, not intimidating
- Competitive drive - you're hungry to win, motivated by targets, and want to build a career in tech sales
- Comfort with ambiguity - you thrive in a fast-moving environment where we're building processes in real-time
- Intellectual agility - you can shift between technical discussions and business conversations seamlessly
- Resilience and grit - pioneering new technology means hearing objections and educating the market; you see this as the challenge that makes winning meaningful
Why This Role is Different
- Sell the future, not the past - this is genuinely new technology, not a feature update to legacy software
- AI-native company - we built our entire platform on AI from day one; you'll sell from a position of authentic technical leadership
- Market timing - enterprises are actively seeking AI solutions right now; you're riding the wave, not creating it
- Product people actually want - watch prospects light up during demos when they see what's possible
- Learn from AI experts - work alongside data scientists, ML engineers, and AI researchers who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible
- Ground floor opportunity - help build the playbook for selling AI in talent acquisition
