Sales Agent

Company Description Next Job is a South Africa–based hiring platform being rebuilt from the ground up to create a fairer, more transparent job search experience. Every job is manually reviewed before it goes live, and employers must verify their company email so job seekers know who is posting. The platform enforces strict response timelines, requiring employers to review applications within seven days or risk job removal and account pauses, reducing the chances of candidates being ignored. Job seekers use a free dashboard to track the status of every application, while employers receive fewer but more relevant applications in a single, organized workspace. Next Job is actively developing this new system and partnering with employers who value respectful, efficient hiring processes.
Role Description The Sales Agent role at Next Job is a full-time remote position focused on driving adoption of the platform among employers and hiring teams. In this role, the Sales Agent will proactively identify and contact prospective clients, present Next Job’s value proposition, and guide them through registration and onboarding. Daily activities include conducting virtual meetings or calls, answering product and process questions, and maintaining accurate records in the sales pipeline and CRM tools. The Sales Agent will collaborate with customer service and training teams to ensure smooth client experiences, collect feedback from employers, and relay insights to support product improvement. This position requires consistent follow-up, clear communication, and a commitment to promoting ethical, candidate-friendly hiring practices.
