    The news in December was dominated by the downfall of FTX in the US, as well as more redundancies across the Tech landscape locally. On a brighter note, though, ChatGPT gained over a million users in its first week after release making content writing a far easier exercise (good for many but bad for some). Unfortunately, it declined to write this article, saying that its “training data only goes up until 2021, and I am not able to browse the internet or access any new information”. 

    Further rises in interest rates could trigger a recession next year which would mean that businesses don’t increase the number of users for their Tech stacks as much as in previous years, as they may either downsize or freeze hiring. Couple this with the fact that the acquisition of customers becomes harder in recessions, and there is the potential for 2023 to be a tough year.

    With all this being said, December was supposed to be a “quiet month” where we also wind down towards the new year. It turned out to be anything but that, as we still received plenty of new enquiries from new Clients looking to hire great talent, with start dates mostly pencilled in for early 2023.

    Some of the roles we filled are below, and on behalf of the team here at Pulse Recruitment, we’d like to wish you and your family a merry (belated) Christmas and a happy New Year!!!

    Tech Sales GTM Metrics That Actually Matter

    Most sales teams are drowning in dashboards and starving for answers. Calls made, emails sent, meetings booked, activity scores glowing green across every rep’s profile. None of it tells you whether revenue is actually safe. This is the quiet failure sitting inside most GTM operations. Not a lack of data. A surplus of the wrong…
    How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile for GTM Recruiters

    Recruiters do not read LinkedIn profiles. They scan them. Three seconds on the headline, five on the current role, maybe ten on the experience section if something catches their eye. If your profile has not been built with that scan in mind, you are being filtered out before anyone reads a single line of your…
    How to Prepare for GTM Job Interviews Like a Pro

    Most candidates prepare for a sales interview the same way they prepare for any interview. Research the company, rehearse a few stories, show up confident. That approach might get you through round one. It rarely gets you the offer. GTM interviews are different because the interviewer is not just evaluating whether you can talk about…
    Why Sales Talent Is Getting Harder to Hire, Not Easier

    Sales roles remain in high demand despite a tighter economic climate and the rise of AI across the funnel. That surprises a lot of people, because the assumption is usually the opposite. Less budget and smarter tools should mean less need for sales talent. Fewer reps, fewer headaches, fewer headcount lines to justify at the…
    2026 GTM Hiring Trends in ANZ: What’s Actually Changing

    Every January brings a fresh batch of “hiring trends” content, most of it recycled from the year before with a new date stamped on top. This isn’t that. Below is what is actually shifting in GTM hiring trends across Australia and New Zealand in 2026, based on current market data rather than predictions dressed up…
    What Does GTM Mean? A Glossary of Go-to-Market Roles

    If you have spent any time on LinkedIn, job boards, or in a sales team meeting, you have seen the acronym everywhere. So what does GTM mean, exactly? GTM stands for go-to-market. It refers to the strategy and the people responsible for bringing a product to a market and turning that product into revenue. GTM…
    How to Break into Tech Sales with No Experience

    It is the ultimate professional catch-22: You look up entry level sales jobs software companies are posting, only to find they all require one to two years of prior SaaS sales experience. You look for ways to get that experience, but every door remains closed because you haven’t done the job before. You feel trapped…
    The “Quota-Crusher” Tech Sales Resume Layout: How to Highlight Metrics

    The harsh reality of the modern job market is that tech sales hiring managers do not care what your daily responsibilities were. They do not care that you “attended weekly team meetings,” “shadowed experienced account executives,” or were “responsible for managing an assigned territory.” In sales, you are judged by your pipeline, your performance against…
    Best Tech Sales Industries: How to Choose Your SaaS Niche

    When you hear the phrase “breaking into software sales,” it is easy to picture a monolithic industry where everyone follows the exact same playbook. You imagine dials, demos, and closing deals. But treating tech sales as one single career path is a massive mistake. Selling a $250,000 artificial intelligence cybersecurity platform to a paranoid Chief…
    How to Succeed in Your First Tech Sales Role

    Popping the champagne after signing your offer letter is an incredible feeling. You beat out hundreds of applicants, survived the multi-stage interview loops, and successfully broke into the tech sector. But landing the job is only half the battle. The first 90 days of a Sales Development Representative’s (SDR) or Business Development Representative’s (BDR) tenure…
