Hiring remote employees from India – has the time come now?
Remote work, as an idea is being discussed for last few years. Barring the startups in Europe, USA and Canada that faced talent crunch and made remote their main talent acquisition pillar, not many mainstream companies and professionals have thought of it as a realistic option.

Top 5 HR Trends that Start-ups Can’t Afford to Ignore in 2020
The last couple of years have seen some interesting things happening in the HR industry. On the one hand, cutting-edge technologies have found their way into HR software, and the post-globalization internet economy continues to change workforce patterns in a big way. At the same time, companies are struggling when it comes to creating a work environment that makes employees feel nurtured, productive, and creative.

Your context is unique. So should be your interview process.
One of the things I learned very early enough was that a startup is NOT a mini version of an enterprise. Things that work at a 2500+ people enterprise most often don't work at a startup.

Refresh the way you hire.
We are almost in the year 2018. Hiring today is much different from what it was even 5 years ago. Good talent now is busy, distracted and even scarcer, which means attracting it today requires a different mindset.

The role
This is an Account Executive track role. You will start by building your own pipeline through outbound efforts (primarily calling), and progressively take ownership of the full sales cycle — from first conversation to closing.

1. Build pipeline (starting phase)
- Reach out to companies in our ICP via calls, LinkedIn and email
- Identify and connect with decision-makers
- Clearly explain Cutshort’s offerings and generate interest
- Build a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities
2. Own and close deals (as you ramp up)
- Run discovery calls and product demos
- Maintain high deal speed — keep moving deals towards closure faster and avoid unnecessary delays
- Handle objections and drive decision-making
- Stay consistent with follow-ups — qualified leads should not go cold
- Pick up high-intent inbound opportunities (pricing page visits, trial completions, etc.) and drive them to closure
What we’re looking for
- 1–3 years of experience in sales / early AE roles
- Strong intent to become a closing Account Executive
- Ability to think, not just follow scripts
- High ownership. You’re accountable for outcomes, not just activity
- Discipline in follow-ups and pipeline management
- Comfort with outbound (especially calling)
And most importantly:
- You enjoy sales
- You are motivated by revenue, incentives, and winning deals
- You don’t take rejection personally
Who should NOT apply
- Unsure about a career in sales
- Avoids targets, rejection, or outbound effort
- Needs heavy structure and constant direction
- Looking for comfort over growth
Growth path
- Start with building your own pipeline
- Earn the right to run demos and close deals
- Move into a full-cycle Account Executive role based on performance
(No fixed timeline — progression is performance-driven)
