Our Mission:

To actively connect people to their next great opportunity.

Powered by AI-driven smart matching technology, the company actively connects millions of all-sized businesses and job seekers through innovative mobile, web, and email services, as well as partnerships with the best job boards on the web.

Summary of Job:

As an Acquisition Account Executive, you'll use your full-cycle selling skills to bring new subscribers onto the ZipRecruiter platform. You'll be supported with market intelligence to identify and connect with employers who have never worked with ZipRecruiter before. This role requires a true new business acquisition mindset—handling everything from initial outreach and demoing the platform to managing free trials, developing proposals, and closing deals.

ZipRecruiter's world-class training program, known internally as Dev Bay, is designed to set you up for long-term success at ZipRecruiter and beyond.

We don't just encourage development, we live it. Upon starting in a sales role, you'll begin with one week of new-hire onboarding, followed by 7 weeks of in-depth, hands-on, and highly rigorous sales training. This includes structured learning, consistent role-playing, and live-call practice to ensure you're building real-world skills from day one. The goal is to prepare you for a seamless transition into a full quota-carrying role within your department.

While you are eligible to earn commission during Dev Bay, the primary focus is on mastering a strong foundation of skills that will enable you to exceed your goals not just early on, but throughout your entire career.

  • Pursue both company-delivered accounts and self-prospected accounts
  • Craft data-driven strategies for prospects based on job seeker insights
  • Cultivate client relationships to accelerate new business sales
Minimum Requirement

As part of our team, you'll enjoy:

  • Competitive salary
  • Exceptional benefits package
  • Flexible Vacation & Paid Time Off
  • Employer-matched 401(k) plan

The US base pay for this position is $24.04 per hour. In addition to the base hourly rate, this role is eligible for a target commission of $27,000.00 annually (based on full-time hours and 100% quota attainment). Your actual compensation will vary based on performance against sales targets.
