What we're looking for:

We are seeking an energetic and ambitious individual with a desire to join a rapidly growing company. Criteria is not a typical organization, and this is not a typical outbound sales role. If you're smart, persistent, and a great teammate, we want to hear from you!

The position is an entry level role, is full-time and is based in our office at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, CA.

What you'll be doing:

• You'll talk to a lot of prospective customers - HR people, business owners, hiring managers etc. - in nearly every industry you can imagine
• You'll talk to them about a product that has a base of loyal customers that love the product and can't imagine their hiring process without it
• Let's be honest - You'll be on the phone a LOT and you'll send a lot of emails
• You'll get prospects set up on free trials and/or demos with our team of Sales Executives, while fostering mentorships in the process
• You'll learn a ton about sales, the hiring process, our software, and business in general
• You'll become an expert at using a growing tech stack of sales acceleration and automation tools like Outreach.io, Drift, Lead Forensics, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• You’ll be part of the glue that connects sales to marketing by nurturing leads from webinars, conferences and inbound content channels
• You'll participate in monthly product meetings and help us decide what features should be added to the product
• You get to work with a crew of smart people who know how to work hard, but more importantly play hard
• We'll celebrate your wins - big and small!

The typical career path for a successful Sales Development Representative is to move into a Sales Executive position... BUT at the rate we're growing, the opportunities are endless.

A little bit about you:

• You have excellent communication skills (verbal and written)
• You have a sense of curiosity, endurance, and a passion for learning
• You like talking with people: listening to them, understanding their needs, discovering their priorities
• You like processes: building them, improving them, critiquing them
• You pay close attention to detail and are comfortable working with data
• You are coachable, interested in personal development, and unafraid to ask questions
• You are well organized and reliable
• You are scrappy and entrepreneurial
• 0-3 years' experience in sales or any customer facing role
• Bachelor's degree preferred

• Open BYOD Policy: Bring your own dog to work as we are a dog inclusive office. When you come into work you'll frequently get greeted by one of the many Dogs of Criteria (check them out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dogsofcriteria)
