The Problem With Hiring Sales Development Representatives
Hiring Sales Development Representatives usually starts with CV screening and short phone interviews. These steps are time-consuming, inconsistent, and weak predictors of real performance.
CVs rarely show how candidates:
Qualify leads effectively and spot buying signals
Handle objections and rejection under pressure
Communicate clearly and confidently on live calls
Make judgement calls on prioritisation and follow-up
Phone interviews help, but they still reward confidence over capability. This is where many poor hires slip through.
How Neuroworx adds evidence before interviews
Neuroworx adds a short, role-specific assessment before interviews, so hiring decisions are based on observed behaviour, not assumptions.
Candidates complete realistic scenarios and short written responses that reflect the day-to-day demands of a Sales Development Representative role.
This allows you to see how candidates:
Qualify inbound and outbound leads effectively
Handle objections and rejection in real sales scenarios
Communicate clearly and confidently under pressure
Make sound judgement calls on prioritisation, follow-up, and next steps
Instead of relying on CVs and early phone screens alone, interviews are informed by consistent, comparable evidence for every candidate.
