WHAT IS REVIEWED

The Software Sales Hiring Review assesses the parts of your hiring approach most likely to affect sales performance, candidate quality, early retention and recruitment cost.

Six Areas That Influence Whether a Sales Hire Succeeds

01. Role Definition & Outcomes

I assess whether your priority sales role is built around clear first-year commercial outcomes, or based on broad experience requirements that may not accurately predict success.

02. Candidate Profile & Market Reality

I examine whether the candidate profile you are targeting realistically matches your business stage, sales motion, product and market.

03. Compensation & OTE Credibility

I review whether salary, commission, quota and earnings expectations are credible enough to attract the talent you need and realistic enough to retain them.

04. Attraction & Agency Dependency

I assess how suitable candidates currently find and perceive your opportunities, and whether stronger internal hiring capability could reduce repeated reliance on external recruitment spend.

05. Interview & Assessment

I review whether the expectations, support and sales environment presented during hiring give new salespeople a realistic chance of succeeding in their first year.

I examine whether candidates are being assessed consistently against evidence of likely success, rather than presentation skills, familiarity or confidence alone.

06. Onboarding, Ramp & Retention Risk
