Hi there,

From the start of TestGorilla in 2020, organizations around the world have confirmed the need to approach hiring differently, leading to a significant growth - month after month - for TestGorilla.
As we look to scale our efforts this year and beyond, we’re looking for a Business Development representative who can passionately talk about this topic with interested leads and convince them about a new approach to hiring.

At TestGorilla, the Business Development team is the first team to be in contact with future customers. As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you will directly and personally engage with prospects and free plan customers through different channels of communication (video calls, webinars, email, social media etc.).
As an advisor, you will inspire them about the value of pre-hiring tests instead of classic CV screening. You will demonstrate to them the benefits of the TestGorilla platform, answer specific commercial questions and convince them to sign up as a customer.
For customers with a more complex buying cycle, you will qualify the leads to identify the highest potential customers and prepare a hand-over to the TestGorilla sales team.

Here at TestGorilla, we eat our own dog food. We use our assessment platform to make sure we make the best hiring decisions faster and bias-free. I took one too and I enjoyed it!
So if this role sounds like a good fit for you, I’d like you to take an assessment so we can get a better idea about whether you would fit the role. It’s also a great opportunity for you to get to know our product!
If you’re hired, I’ll do everything I can to help you succeed at TestGorilla and throughout the rest of your career.
