Sales Development Representative – Swedish Speaking
What if one conversation could change the way an organisation hires and develops its people? – You could make that happen.
Our vision is Zero Talent Waste. We help organisations make fairer, more objective people decisions through science, technology and data – creating better outcomes for businesses while helping more people reach their full potential.
We are now looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) for the Swedish market who wants to help us create new opportunities and introduce organisations to our growing portfolio of HR Tech solutions.
Our preferred location is Oslo, but Stockholm is also an option.
About the role
As our SDR for Sweden, you'll take ownership of sales development activities towards the Swedish market, working closely with our three Swedish Account Executives to create and qualify new business opportunities.
This is much more than booking meetings. You'll combine outbound prospecting, research and value-based conversations to understand which organisations we can create value for, who we should speak to and why.
Our portfolio consists of several solutions that can support customers in different ways. Great prospecting therefore starts with curiosity: understanding the organisation, identifying relevant needs and making your outreach count.
You'll be part of our Global Sales Development team. If based in Oslo, you'll sit alongside our SDR for Norway and the local AE team. In Stockholm, you'll work alongside our Swedish commercial colleagues. Either way, you'll have plenty of engaged colleagues around you to collaborate with and learn from.
Your responsibilities will include:
Researching and identifying relevant accounts, stakeholders and opportunities in Sweden.
Engaging prospects through phone, email, LinkedIn and other relevant channels.
Qualifying opportunities and booking high-quality meetings for our Account Executives.
Connecting customer challenges with relevant parts of Assessio's product portfolio.
Collaborating with AEs and the wider SDR team to develop our pipeline and continuously improve how we work.
Who are you?
You get energy from creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear. You're comfortable picking up the phone and reaching out to new prospects, but you also understand that great outbound isn't simply about volume.
You're curious enough to ask why this company, why this person and why now? and use what you learn to create more relevant conversations.
You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters is your drive to learn, resilience and willingness to continuously improve. You'll probably also find the intersection between psychology, technology and business genuinely interesting.
We believe you have:
Fluent Swedish and strong professional English.
A strong interest in outbound sales and confidence engaging new prospects.
A curious and analytical approach to prospecting and customer needs.
Strong communication skills and a value-based mindset.
A proactive, self-driven and collaborative way of working.
Previous SDR, BDR or B2B commercial experience is valuable, particularly within SaaS or HR Tech, but we don't expect you to tick every box. Your motivation for outbound sales, learning ability and potential matter greatly to us.
About the recruitment process
We practice what we preach. Potential and the person behind the CV matter to us, which is why selected candidates will first be invited to experience our own assessments.
From there, the process includes conversations where we'll get to know your experience, motivation and potential – while giving you the opportunity to get to know Assessio and the role.
Why join Assessio?
At Assessio, psychology, technology and business come together to make a real impact.
You'll take ownership of an important market while having experienced AEs, fellow SDRs and an international commercial organisation around you. With an expanding product portfolio, you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn, experiment and develop your own approach.
Every opportunity you create brings us one step closer to our vision of Zero Talent Waste.
