Sales Development Representative

Company Overview

Persevio is a Singapore-based, AI-first recruitment startup working to transform how hiring is done. The company aims to make recruitment faster, more affordable, and more personalized for employers and candidates alike.

As a young, externally backed business with a team of fewer than 10 people, Persevio offers a high-autonomy setting where individual contribution has direct impact. Its AI recruiter, Viona, sits at the center of the product, and the team is looking for motivated people to help expand its presence across the region.

Role Overview

The company is hiring two Sales Development Representatives to power its outbound sales efforts. Reporting to the Head of Sales, this role is focused entirely on top-of-funnel work: finding prospects, starting conversations, and setting up qualified meetings that feed the sales pipeline.

Responsibilities

• Run a fast-paced outbound outreach program, with a target of around 100 cold calls each day to connect with prospective clients and HR decision-makers.
• Create a steady flow of qualified meetings for the sales team by presenting Persevio’s offering clearly and handling early objections effectively.
• Explain Persevio’s AI-driven recruitment solution in a way that shows how it addresses common hiring challenges for employers.
• Work closely with the Head of Sales to improve outreach playbooks, refine target account lists, and adjust messaging based on feedback from the market.

Requirements

• Prior professional sales experience and a solid grasp of the prospecting and outreach process.
• Strong persistence and a goal-oriented approach, with the ability to sustain energy and pace in a demanding outbound role.
• Excellent verbal communication skills and a confident phone manner, with the ability to quickly earn trust and attention.
• A strong drive to meet targets and support revenue growth in a scaling company.
• Bonus: experience in B2B technology or SaaS sales.
• Bonus: experience selling to HR, recruitment, or talent acquisition stakeholders.
• Bonus: experience in an early-stage startup or another environment that requires a high degree of independence.

Why This Role

• Foundational influence: as one of the first SDR hires, you will help shape the revenue engine of a company that is redefining an industry.
• Direct guidance: work closely with the Head of Sales and the founding team, gaining practical mentorship and exposure to business development strategy.
• Strong growth upside: in a growing AI startup, advancement can move quickly for top performers.
• Performance-based rewards: the variable pay structure is tied to meetings booked, so results are directly recognized.
