“We’ve had the same vendor for six years. Why would I put my name on switching?”

Priya S. · candidate

“Because six years ago they were the best option. What’s changed in your pipeline since then?”

“Pipeline’s fine. It’s the overtime that’s killing us.”

Priya S. · candidate

“Your overtime number was eight to twelve a month. Against that, what would be defensible to finance?”

Sales hiring is slow, subjective, and easy to fake.

Slow

Screening fifty applicants takes weeks of manager time. The good ones sign somewhere else first.

Subjective

A sharp resume and a comfortable conversation don’t tell you who survives a real objection.

Easy to fake

Candidates rehearse the interview questions. You find out what they can actually do after the hire.

Every applicant sells before anyone on your team talks to them.

1

You send us the applicants

A spreadsheet, a job-board export, or a link. We take it from there.

Twelve minutes to close

A live call with Chris, the AI buyer. He pushes back, stalls on price, and pulls the conversation off track. Five weighted dimensions, and a timestamp on every score.

01 / 05

The AI tests how they sell. A person tests who they are.

Then a person.

Every candidate who passes the call spends an hour with a sales expert. Someone who has carried a quota for years, interviewing for you.

Who they are

Working sales leaders and senior account executives. Vetted by us, paid by us, never by the candidate.

How they work

One hour, live. The same five areas every time: track record, coachability, role fit, judgment, working style. They score on their own.

What you get

Their scorecard and notes for every candidate on your shortlist. Two opinions before you spend an hour of your own.

The AI never says hire or no-hire. That call stays yours.

  • Never scored: accent, fluency, filler words, grammar, confidence, or whether the fictional deal closed.
  • Candidates know they’re recorded. The ones who advance hear their own clip played back.
  • The rubric is fixed before the first call. Same for everyone.

Hiring salespeople is still a guess.
We think that’s insane.

Engineers do take-homes. Designers show portfolios. Salespeople, the people whose job is to bring in the revenue, get a conversation and a gut feeling. Vetta puts them on a call and makes them sell.

Built for sales leaders hiring reps, founders making their first sales hire, and agencies placing sales roles.
