About Relentless


Relentless was created to revolutionize the way that people find jobs using AI and Machine Learning.  


We know that the hiring system is broken. It’s become harder than ever to find solid, high-paying jobs, regardless of how strong your professional background. So we’ve made the process easier.  


Our goal is to help busy, ambitious job seekers land their dream job in a fraction of the time they’d normally take, and with a fraction of the effort. Some of our users have secured $50,000+ salary bumps. Others have doubled their income entirely. And we won’t stop until we’ve been able to offer those same outcomes to billions of people around the world.  


So if you’re as passionate as we are about leveling the hiring playing field, continue reading. We might be the right place for you—and you might just be the new teammate we’re looking for.  


Our values  


We’re a people-driven company, and (for very obvious reasons) we take hiring seriously.  


We care deeply about your experience and accomplishments. But we care even more about your values and how they’ll align with ours.  


Here are a few we hold dear:  


Proactiveness  

We value people who take the bull by the horns. We personally try to proactively identify problems that need to be solved, come up with solutions, and push those solutions forward quickly. We’re looking for the same out of you, too.  


Integrity  

Our word matters. We do everything we can to speak with truth; if we say we’re going to do something, we do it. And if we fall short (because we’re human and we’ll all occasionally fall short), we own up to it, learn from it, and take accountability to make things right.


Excellence  

We have audacious goals. That means we need to be audacious in the expectations we set for ourselves. We want to be the best in the world at what we do, and we want to help each other achieve those aims, too.  


Joy  

We genuinely enjoy the work we do, and we try to find joy in things both big and small. We believe that trying to be present in the “now” not only increases our effectiveness, it also allows us to enjoy our lives on a day-to-day basis.  


Systems Thinking  

We’re ops people at heart. We believe in building systems that take the guesswork out of our day to day lives, and then documenting those systems, simplifying them, and finally (if you’re interested in moving into a management role) delegating them to someone else.  


What we’re looking for:  

We're currently looking for a  Founding Account Executive (Salesperson). The Account Executive is responsible for taking zoom calls with qualified prospects, further qualifying prospects, and convincing them to move forward with Relentless if it's the right solution for their needs.


Since Relentless generates a lot of leads, this role does not require the account executive to generate leads on their own.


The right person is incredible at building trust.

Note:

We’ve tried to strike a balance between giving you enough detail to decide whether you think this role might be a good fit for you and not completely drowning you in information. We genuinely love our jobs, and we want to make sure that when you click the Apply button, it’s because you’ve read everything above and have come to the conclusion that you might like this job, too.  


And like we said above: even if you don’t meet 100% of our wishlist above, we encourage you to apply anyway. We view every application we receive as a chance to meet someone awesome.  


And finally: we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment for each and every one of our employees. We believe that our differences make us stronger, smarter, and more curious, and we take active steps each and every day to live our lives in a way that embodies those beliefs. We provide equal opportunity to all employees, and will never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital or parental status, or disability.
