Hiring sales candidates in India: what you're actually working with
Sales hires on attributes that no résumé captures — resilience, listening and coachability — which is why volume matters more here than in any other pool. The practical constraint for most employers is getting enough qualified conversations, not identifying the right profile once they are in the room.

Candidate availability, honestly
