How ExploreSalesJobs works

Where the jobs come from

Every listing is read directly from the employer's own applicant tracking system through its public API — Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby. Nothing here is scraped from another job site, and nothing is submitted by recruiters or lead-generation agencies.

That single decision determines most of what's good about this board. When a company takes a role down, it disappears from their API, and it disappears here on the next hourly run. The apply link points at their posting, so your application lands in the system the hiring manager actually reads rather than in an intermediary's database. And there are no duplicates of the same role posted by four different agencies, because agencies never enter the pipeline.

The trade-off is honest to state: coverage is narrower than a site that indexes everything. We only see companies whose boards we've added. We'd rather show you a smaller set of listings that are real than a larger set where a third are stale.

What counts as a sales job

Job titles are a mess, and searching "sales" on a general job board returns a pile of things that aren't sales jobs. A classifier runs over every posting and decides two things: whether it's a sales role at all, and which of eight role types it belongs to — Account Executive, SDR/BDR, Account Manager, Sales Engineer, Customer Success, RevOps, Partnerships, or Sales Leadership.

The exclusion rules run before the matching rules, deliberately. The three false positives that would otherwise dominate the board are Salesforce Developer (an engineering job that contains the word "sales"), Sales Tax Analyst (an accounting job), and Retail Sales Associate (a real sales job, but not the kind anyone searching this site is looking for). Filtering those out first is the difference between a usable board and noise.

It's deterministic rule matching, not a language model, so the same title always classifies the same way and we can fix a mistake permanently. When we find a misclassification it becomes a test case, which means that specific error can't come back.

How to find sales jobs that fit

Most people search sales jobs by job title, and job titles are the least reliable field in the whole posting. Here's what works better.

Filter by role type, not title

The same job is called Account Executive at one company, Enterprise Sales Representative at another, and Commercial Sales Manager at a third — that last one managing no people at all. Filtering by role type catches all three; searching the title catches one. Use the free-text search for things titles genuinely encode, like an industry or a named product.

Assume compensation is missing, and plan for it

Most postings publish no salary. Sorting by salary surfaces the ones that do, which is useful for calibrating your own expectations before a recruiter asks for a number — the first person to say a figure usually anchors the range. The published-compensation view is the fastest way to see what the transparent end of the market pays.

Apply early — it matters more than it should

Sales roles attract high application volume and many teams stop interviewing once they have a shortlist, so a posting's third day is meaningfully better than its third week. Filter to roles posted in the last three days, or set an email alert and skip the checking entirely.

How to get the sales job once you've found it

Sales interviews test a narrow, predictable set of things. Knowing which ones is most of the advantage.

The mock call is the interview

Nearly every software sales loop includes a role-play: a mock discovery call or a mock demo, usually against your future manager. Candidates lose it by pitching. What's being assessed is whether you ask questions, listen to the answers, and let the conversation change direction — so spend the first half of a mock discovery asking about their situation, and don't mention your product until you can connect it to something they said.

Bring numbers, including the unflattering ones

Quota attainment, percentage of team, deal sizes, cycle length, ramp time. If you're coming from outside sales, bring whatever your closest equivalent was — tickets resolved, placements made, upsell rate. Saying "112% of a $900k quota, top third of a team of fourteen" ends a line of questioning that "consistently exceeded targets" invites more of. Explaining a bad year credibly reads as stronger than claiming you never had one.

Have a 30-60-90 ready before they ask

A short plan for your first three months — what you'd learn, who you'd talk to, when you'd expect to run your first call unsupervised — signals that you've thought about the job rather than the offer. It's routinely requested for AE roles and rarely for entry-level ones, which is precisely why bringing one unprompted to an entry level interview stands out.

Email alerts

Any search on this site can be saved as a daily email alert. You'll be sent one confirmation email; nothing further arrives until you click the link in it. After that you get at most one message a day, only when something new matches, and every message carries a one-click unsubscribe that doesn't require logging in.

Set up an alert, or browse the board first and save the search once you've narrowed it.
