Role & responsibilities

• The requirement is mainly for an international sales role, so strong English communication skills are mandatory. Candidates should be confident in speaking with global customers.
• The role is more focused on sales and customer interaction than technical skills. Candidates should be able to explain products clearly and influence customers.
• Candidates with international sales experience and exposure to IT products/services will be preferred. Knowledge of Microsoft products is an added advantage.
• This is a high-visibility pilot project for the Pune location, so only quality and relevant profiles should be shared.
• The requirement is open for female candidates only as part of the diversity hiring initiative.

To improve interview efficiency and candidate quality, I would request that the team perform a more thorough first-level screening before scheduling interviews. This initial assessment should include:

• Validation of relevant international sales experience.
• Assessment of English language proficiency and communication skills.
• Evaluation of professional conduct and interview readiness.
• Confirmation that candidates are aware of and prepared for their scheduled interviews.
