    Happy New Year from the team here at Pulse Recruitment. We hope that you got some well earned R&R over the break.

    We are already up and running and working on some exciting roles and have been talking with some incredible talent and companies.

    In 2023, the tech industry is expected to see a focus on experience and flexibility when it comes to hiring, with an emphasis on hybrid skillsets and the ability to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.

     

    1. Hiring managers are likely to prioritise candidates with strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as a customer-first mindset.
    2. Companies are expected to invest more heavily in upskilling and reskilling existing employees, as well as hiring new talent with the right skillsets.
    3. Companies are likely to seek out candidates with more diverse backgrounds and experiences in order to better capture different perspectives and unlock new insights.

    With tighter economic conditions emerging, the customer will want to see strong evidence of ROI when buying new tech and will scrutinise renewals. For sales teams, we expect an increased focus on data-driven decision making, with sales teams leveraging data and analytics to inform their strategies and tactics. Furthermore, there will likely be a greater emphasis on digital transformation, with sales teams leveraging technology to streamline processes and build relationships at scale.

    How Enterprise Sales Became a Multi-Stakeholder Strategy Game

    In the traditional “golden age” of sales, the path to a closed-won deal was often a straight line. You identified a decision-maker—usually a charismatic executive with a budget and a problem—convinced them of your value, signed a contract, and moved on to the next lead. This “single-threaded” approach relied on personal rapport and individual authority….
    You Should Prioritize Alignment Over Compensation in Tech Sales

    In the hyper-competitive world of tech sales, it is easy to be blinded by the “Big Number.” Recruiters often lead with eye-popping On-Target Earnings (OTE), signing bonuses, and equity packages that look like lottery tickets. For years, the prevailing wisdom was simple: follow the money. However, as we navigate the sales landscape of 2026, the…
    Self-Direction Is One of the Most Valuable Sales Skills

    For decades, the image of the “Sales Floor” was one of high-octane chaos: rows of desks, the rhythmic sound of cold calls, and a manager pacing the aisles with a leaderboard in hand. It was an environment built on external pressure and shared energy. Today, that floor is silent. The shift toward hybrid and remote…
    Why “AI Curiosity” No Longer Cuts It in 2026

    Not long ago, having “AI curiosity” on your CV signaled something valuable. It suggested initiative, adaptability, and a willingness to explore new tools before they became mainstream. In 2024, that alone could differentiate you. It hinted that you weren’t waiting for change—you were leaning into it. In 2026, that signal has largely disappeared. The market…
    Breaking the “Inbound Dependency” in ANZ Sales Teams

    For nearly a decade, the ANZ SaaS ecosystem thrived in a golden era of predictable lead generation. A steady stream of inbound inquiries acted as a structural safety net for sales teams across Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland. Marketing departments, fueled by low interest rates and expansive budgets, could effectively “buy” growth through heavy ad spend…
    The Shift Toward Full-Cycle Competency

    For the better part of two decades, the tech industry operated under a single, unchallenged gospel: the Predictable Revenue model. Popularized in the early 2010s, this framework suggested that the most efficient way to scale a sales organization was through hyper-specialization. You had Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to hunt, Account Executives (AEs) to close, and…
    How Top Sales Reps Find Roles Before They’re Advertised

    In tech sales, the most desirable roles rarely make it to job boards. By the time a position is publicly advertised, it’s often already flooded with applicants—or quietly earmarked for an internal referral. Top-performing sales professionals understand this reality and operate differently. They don’t wait for opportunities to appear; they position themselves to be found…
    How to Build a Winning Sales Culture That Retains High Performers

    In the high-stakes world of tech sales, culture is often dismissed as a “soft” metric—something involving ping-pong tables, free snacks, or the occasional happy hour. But in 2026, top-tier sales talent has seen it all. They aren’t looking for perks; they are looking for an environment that optimizes their ability to win. A “Winning Sales…
    From SDR to AE: How to Get Promoted Faster in a Tech Company

    The Sales Development Representative (SDR) role is the “Special Forces” of the tech world. It’s a high-pressure, high-volume environment where you are the first point of contact for potential customers. But let’s be honest: you didn’t take this job just to book meetings forever. You’re eyeing that Account Executive (AE) seat—the closer, the strategist, the…
    The Death of the Demo: Selling in the Age of Skepticism

    By the time a buyer finally decides to talk to a salesperson in 2026, the traditional sales cycle is already more than half over. In fact, the average B2B buyer has likely spent upwards of 20 hours researching their specific problem before they even consider hitting a “Book a Demo” button. They have scoured peer…
