  • Stability and Growth: Demonstrated ability to achieve long-term success and growth within previous roles.
  • HR Tech Expertise: Extensive experience selling B2B, SaaS, HR technology solutions (Recruiting, HCM, LMS, etc).
  • Industry Knowledge: Deep understanding of the pains felt by our HR, Recruiting, and Employee Development buyers
  • Leadership: Recognized as a subject matter expert within your organization with experience coaching or mentoring others.
  • Curiosity and Creativity: Naturally curious and creative in your approach to solving problems.
Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in SaaS subscription-based sales.
  • Demonstrated success in quota-carrying sales roles, preferably within the B2B, SaaS, HR Technology sector, ideally in pre-employment assessment, employee development, or disruptive technology.
  • Experience selling to SMB, Mid-Market organizations, and Enterprise experience is a plus.
  • Proven ability to build your own pipeline by sourcing your own opportunities.

Target Total Compensation: This position offers OTE of $165,000 to $180,000, split between a base salary and uncapped commissions.
