    August is traditionally one of the busiest months of the year for recruiters, and this year didn’t disappoint.

    Our newest Senior Consultant, Pre Patel, has been with us for only 7 weeks and is already up and running with new clients and two high-performing BDMs placed with a Digital Signage Client.

    Pre comes to Pulse with 10 years of experience finding high-calibre sales talent for Tech Companies. He’s already adding substantial value to his Clients, who are seeking market insights and a consultative approach to their recruitment strategy.

    In other news, we have also added to our SDR recruitment capabilities by bringing on another dedicated resourcer who’s sole focus is finding the best SDRs Australia has to offer.

    Rosanna’s role at Pulse Recruitment will be laser-focused on unearthing the many hidden gems that often get overlooked in recruitment processes. By spending 40 hours per week screening talent, she has been building a killer talent pool that comes with both prior SDR experience as well as some who have all the raw materials and who are looking for a foot in the door.

    Overall, the market is showing signs of getting back to a more “normal” equilibrium between vacant roles and active candidates, but as ever, the high performers are in demand, especially at the junior level, and job ad response remains high.

    Some of the roles Pulse Recruitment filled this month include;

    • Territory Account Manager – RMM and Cyber Security vendor
    • 2 x BDMs – Digital Signage
    • SDR – Proptech
    • Enterprise AE – CGR vendor
    • SDR – Talent Assessment
    • Sales Engineer – Cyber Security
    • Sales Director – Fintech
    • Marketing Lead – Edutech
    • BDM – Logistics Tech

    The Hidden Stakeholder Problem: Why Enterprise Deals Stall When You Miss the Full Buying Committee

    Enterprise buying committees are getting larger. That is not speculation. It is observable across every vertical and every deal size. What was once a three-person approval process is now a seven-person approval process. Finance has more say. Security has more say. Operations has more say. Procurement has more say. But most enterprise AEs are still…
    Why Pipeline Quality Matters More Than Pipeline Size in Enterprise Sales

    There is a fundamental misunderstanding in enterprise sales that is costing AEs opportunities and hiring managers are starting to notice it. The assumption is that more pipeline means more deals. More conversations mean better odds. If you have twenty deals in your funnel, surely five of them will close. The math seems obvious. It is…
    The Danger of “Feature-Dumping” in B2B Sales

    It is a classic trap that ensnares some of the most intelligent, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable sales professionals in the industry. You know your product or service inside and out. You understand every single piece of code, every design choice, every advanced configuration, and every niche capability it possesses. You are incredibly proud of what…
    Stalled deals killing your sales pipeline? Try this.

    Every sales professional has experienced the ghost town phase of a deal. You have a fantastic discovery call, the prospect seems deeply engaged, you send over a comprehensive proposal—and then, silence. Weeks pass. Follow-up emails go unanswered. Your voice messages disappear into a corporate void. You check your pipeline metrics, and a deal that felt…
    A Guide to Breaking Into Tech Sales with Zero Experience

    For decades, popular culture has painted a very specific, hyper-aggressive portrait of the salesperson. We think of sharp suits, high-pressure pitches, and the relentless mantra of “Always Be Closing.” But in the modern software-as-a-service (SaaS) ecosystem, that archetype is not just dead—it is a massive liability. Today’s tech sales professionals are consultants, problem-solvers, and strategic…
    The SDR to Account Executive Roadmap: How to Get Promoted

    The Sales Development Representative (SDR) role is the engine room of the tech sales world. It is a grueling, high-volume position fueled by cold outreach, relentless activity targets, and the constant pressure to feed the pipeline for older, higher-paid sales professionals. While it is an incredible training ground for learning resilience and baseline communication skills,…
    How to Prepare for a Sales Role Play Interview

    You’ve passed the phone screen. You’ve nailed the first round. And now the hiring manager has just sent through a calendar invite with two words that send a chill down every candidate’s spine: role play. For many tech sales candidates — even experienced ones — the role play interview is where confidence evaporates. Suddenly, all…
    Stop Treating Talent Connections Like Leads

    Imagine walking into a high-end, exclusive networking event. You see an influential industry player standing by the drinks. You walk straight up to them, skip the pleasantries, slide your business card into their jacket pocket, and say, “Hi, I’m looking for a job. Let me know if you hear of anything that fits me.” Then…
    Why Your Personal Brand Is the Only GTM Resume That Matters

    There is a parallel universe in Go-To-Market (GTM) hiring, and if you are relying on standard job boards, you are entirely locked out of it. Here is the uncomfortable truth about the tech sales landscape today: The best GTM sales roles are almost never publicly posted. By the time a Head of Sales, VP of…
    Why Today’s Tech Layoffs Are a Structural Redesign, Not a Correction

    Over the last few years, a quiet but unsettling realization has rippled through the global technology sector. The steady drumbeat of workforce reductions, restructures, and corporate downsizings has refused to fade into the background. For a long time, the industry told itself a comforting lie: that this was all just a temporary hangover from the…
