    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know about hiring Enterprise Account Executives with HireDNA.

    What defines an Enterprise AE in your searches?

    Sellers who own net-new or expansion revenue in deals with multiple stakeholders, formal procurement, and typically six or seven-figure contract values across cycles of six months or longer.

    How do you confirm someone can sell at the enterprise level?

    We validate average contract value, cycle length, number of stakeholders, procurement and legal exposure, and how they built executive sponsorship. Enterprise titles are common; enterprise outcomes are not.

    Do you screen for a specific sales methodology?

    Yes, when it matters to you. We can calibrate for MEDDICC, Challenger, Command of the Message, or your internal framework, and evaluate how consistently a candidate actually applies it.

    How long does an enterprise search take?

    Enterprise searches typically run longer than mid-market ones. Most clients see their first fully screened slate within two to three weeks of kickoff, with continuous delivery until the role is closed.

    How much does enterprise sales recruiting cost?

    Pricing depends on the scope and seniority of the search. We offer a per-hire model for companies hiring occasionally and a retained or subscription model for companies hiring continuously. Both include the full search, evaluation, and a replacement guarantee. We walk through pricing on the discovery call once we understand the role.

    Can you recruit for a first enterprise hire?

    Yes. We frequently help companies moving upmarket hire their first enterprise seller, which requires someone comfortable building process rather than inheriting it. We calibrate the profile for that reality.

    What if a hire doesn't work out?

    Every search comes with a guarantee. If a placed candidate leaves within the guarantee window, we automatically reopen the search and deliver a replacement at no additional cost.
