Persevio is an AI-native recruitment startup on a mission to redefine the hiring experience. By leveraging our proprietary AI agents—Percy for candidates and Viona for employers—we break the traditional "human-scaling" bottleneck of recruitment, making the process faster, more signal-rich, and fundamentally more human for both sides.
Headquartered in Singapore, we are an early-stage, externally funded team of builders. We believe AI should handle the high-volume, structured tasks of sourcing and screening, allowing humans to focus on high-value judgment, relationship building, and final decision-making.
Role Overview:
We are looking for a founding commercial leader to own Persevio’s sales engine and drive revenue across the Singapore market. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will initially act as a hands-on lead closer, originating and managing deals personally to prove our commercial model.
As the business scales, you will partner with leadership to codify our sales playbook and hire the team required to expand our footprint. This is a unique opportunity to sell a "new category" product—AI-native recruitment—as both a professional service and a SaaS solution.
Key Responsibilities:
Drive New Business as a Lead Hunter: Take full ownership of the sales cycle from cold start to close. You will personally prospect, navigate HR buying committees, and land new customers, building momentum for a growing brand.
Position AI as a Strategic Multiplier: Effectively communicate the value of AI-augmented recruitment to HR leaders and decision-makers, overcoming skepticism and positioning our agents as a force multiplier for their internal efficiency.
Build the Sales Infrastructure: Work closely with the CEO to define our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), refine our GTM strategy, and eventually build and lead a high-performing sales team.
Requirements:
Minimum/Core Requirements:
Demonstrated track record of sales success within the recruitment or HR-technology space, with a focus on new business acquisition.
Advanced professional English proficiency is required to effectively lead complex business discussions and negotiate with senior HR decision-makers in the Singapore market.
Proven ability to originate and close deals personally in an early-stage or high-growth environment.
Exceptional resilience and the ability to thrive in an ambiguous environment where you are responsible for defining the path forward.
Currently based in Singapore with a strong understanding of the local commercial landscape.
Preferred/Bonus Requirements:
Experience in either 360 agency recruitment or technology/SaaS sales.
Prior experience or a strong interest in AI technology and its application in talent acquisition.
Demonstrated potential for people leadership and team building.
Why you should be interested:
Founding Impact: You aren't just running a machine; you are building it. You will have a seat at the table in shaping the commercial DNA of an AI-first venture.
High Autonomy & Accountability: We value results over activity. You will have the freedom to own your domain and the direct support of the founder to execute your vision.
Strategic Product Edge: Join a team solving one of the most persistent challenges in business—efficient, high-quality hiring—at the forefront of the AI revolution.
Growth Potential: As the first commercial hire, your career trajectory is tied directly to the company’s success, with the opportunity to transition into a leadership role as we scale.
