Prelude

AI-powered sales hiring

Hire the sales rep your business needs next — not the last one who sat in the seat.

Most job postings describe a person who already left. But sales success is situational — every sales org is a sample size of one. Prelude builds your hiring bar from your company's real situation, then measures every candidate against it.

Why great reps fail in the wrong seat

A closer who thrives in a founder-led, figure-it-out startup can stall in a process-driven enterprise — and the reverse is just as true. A generic hiring bar measures the wrong thing, because it can't see the environment the person actually has to sell into. Prelude's job is to make that environment explicit, then screen for the person who fits it.

How Prelude works

Two conversations and a decision — everything else is quietly handled for you.

1

Define the bar

A guided interview with the hiring leader surfaces what they can't easily put into words — the selling environment, the timing gate, the one failure story that becomes your primary screen, and the five non-negotiables. Out comes a sharp, specific hiring profile.

2

Assess the candidate

Each candidate has an adaptive AI interview tuned to that profile. Prelude scores the thinking and the adaptation — not the polish of a rehearsed answer — and surfaces the right flag on the right candidate.

3

Decide with confidence

Leaders see their roles stack-ranked; executives get an org-wide view of hiring health. Every score drills down to the evidence behind it — defensible to the most skeptical sales leader in the room.

Four acts, one honest read

Every candidate is scored across four dimensions — each viewed through a Know / Do / Are lens.

C

Competency

Can they do the actual job — in this environment, at this stage?

C

Coachability

Do they adapt, absorb feedback, and grow — or just defend?

C

Culture Fit

Will they thrive in how this team actually works and wins?

C

Career Trajectory

Is this role the right next step — for them and for you?

Sales leaders

Turn a fuzzy “I’ll know them when I see them” into a written bar — and screen every candidate against it without the busywork.

Executives

See hiring health across every leader and open role in one org-wide view, with the evidence behind each call one click away.

Candidates

A fair, focused conversation that measures how you think — not how well you memorised the “right” answer.
