ScaleU is excited to be helping a Bay Area startup founded by two previously successful founders and backed by Sequoia to find an 🌟 Operations Associate 🌟 This role would be ideal for a fresh grad (Class of 2023 or 2024) located in San Francisco who wishes to break into tech at a small, venture-backed startup 👨🎓 👩🎓 The company has built a platform that uses machine learning and AI to unlock all of the hidden "tribal knowledge" that exists across the various data centers (CRM, call recordings, etc.) used by SaaS sales teams.

Check out this interview snippet from ScaleU co-founder and Head of Sales Recruiting, Rich Saylor, to learn about some of the common pitfalls founders make when they hire sales and what indicators suggest it's the right time to bring on a sales team 👀 🧠

ScaleU was founded in 2023 by three tech veterans with a shared passion for helping Seed and Series A founders find and hire the best talent available. Over the past several months, we've been hearing from many of our early clients that hiring for sales can be a challenging and often nebulous process. To help founders with identifying and hiring the best salespeople for their startup, our very own Rich Saylor has been hard at work on a series of video interviews designed to answer some of the most common questions around sales hiring. Each week, Rich sits down with top startup sales reps, early stage sales leaders, and founders to talk about common pitfalls in sales hiring, what traits and experiences they screen for, and much more. Follow ScaleU and Rich Saylor to stay up to date when the latest episode drops tomorrow, March 1 📺 👀

Sales and engineering hires are CRITICAL for Seed and Series A startups and our team is all about quality over quantity. The founders we work with consistently give feedback that ScaleU is much easier to work with than most other agencies because we don't just throw out resumes or try to push candidates into a job when they meet "enough" of the requirements. A-players can transform a company, especially in the early years, and this is why we strive to find and hire the best for our clients!
