    “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” – Seneca

    That pretty much sums up the disconnect between some of the commentary and what is happening in the market. For every tech business that has made redundancies, there are plenty of others that continue to hire and add to their team.

    Speaking of adding to teams, this month, we welcome Nick Matthews to the Pulse Recruitment team. Nick’s energy, attention to detail and inquisitive mind are some of the right ingredients to succeed in recruitment, and you could do a lot worse than to reach out to him if you are looking for a new role or wanting to fill a position.

    Speaking of filling positions (I’m on a roll today ), here are some of our wins from September;

    ⚡ 2 x AMs – Edu Tech
    ⚡ 2 x SDRs – Prop Tech
    ⚡ SDR – RMM / CRM for MSPs
    ⚡ AE + SDR – Legal Tech
    ⚡ Marketing Lead – Transport / Logistics Tech
    ⚡ Senior AE – Governance / Compliance Tech
    ⚡ AE – NDIS Software
    ⚡ Events Manager – Crypto Compliance Tech

    Personal Branding for Introverts: How to Stand Out

    The conventional wisdom around personal branding in sales feels exhausting for introverts: constant networking events, daily social media posting, aggressive self-promotion, and being “always on.” If you’re an introverted sales professional, you’ve probably felt the pressure to adopt extroverted behaviors to build your brand and advance your career. But effective personal branding doesn’t require you…
    5 Red Flags Recruiters Look for (And How to Fix Them)

    Tech sales recruiters review hundreds of resumes and LinkedIn profiles weekly.

    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…
