Sales Recruiter

Hiring sales folks is just as tough (and important) as hiring engineers, yet tech recruiters get all the glory! There’s no code to review so you have to be super analytical to cut through the noise.

And then when it comes time to close, your candidates all want to negotiate. Everything. So you need to be part hostage negotiator. If this sounds like a typical Monday to you and you’re ready to bring your skills to a startup that will respect and value them, read on.
