Sales candidates sell themselves best of all. Lehire weighs the claims against your rubric, structures what your interviewers actually heard, and ranks finalists on evidence.
Where sales hiring actually breaks
Sales hiring has the highest polish to substance ratio of any function. The interview rewards exactly the skill that hides weak fits: persuasion.
Claims without context
“145% of quota” means nothing without the quota, the territory, and the year. Resumes never volunteer the denominators.
Scored against your criteria
Lehire evaluates claims in context: tenure patterns, progression, deal complexity, market. The score comes with reasoning that flags what is verified and what is asserted.
Charisma beats rubric in the room
Great candidates run the interview. Without structure, your panel scores likability and calls it sales ability.
Structured interview scorecards
Every interviewer scores the same criteria: discovery skill, process rigor, coachability. Charm becomes one signal among several instead of the whole verdict.
Mis-hires discovered two quarters too late
A bad sales hire costs the seat, the ramp, and the territory. By the time the pipeline shows it, the damage is booked.
Decision Engine ranking
Resume evidence and interview signal combine into a ranked comparison before the offer. The expensive guess becomes a structured decision.
Define what good looks like
Your rubric, explicit: deal size range, sales cycle complexity, outbound motion, domain. AI drafts the JD around it.
Weigh the claims
Batch score applicants against the rubric. Reasoning flags context gaps behind the quota claims so interviews start sharper.
Rank on evidence, then offer
Scorecards capture structured panel signal. The Decision Engine ranks finalists so the offer goes to evidence, not the best closer in the room.
Claim aware scoring
Quota and achievement claims weighed in context, with what is asserted versus supported called out.
Structured panel scorecards
Discovery, rigor, and coachability scored on consistent criteria by every interviewer.
Decision Engine
Finalists ranked on combined evidence. The tiebreaker is structured, not charmed.
