Tech sales job postings by week
Through October 22, 2026 the report read 141 to 162 boards a week. From October 29, 2026 it has read 1,025 to 1,030, so raw counts before and after that change measure different sets of companies. Week-over-week changes in each edition are measured only on the boards both weeks share.
How the report counts
- Each company's own Greenhouse, Ashby or Lever job board, read through the public feed it publishes. No LinkedIn, Indeed or other aggregators.
- A role is new if the company first published it in the seven days before the pull, by its original publish date, not its last update.
- Sales titles only: SDR and BDR, account executive, customer success and account management, solutions and sales engineering. No people managers. US and US-remote roles only.
- Limits: the boards skew toward venture-backed B2B software companies, and the list grows over time. This is one important slice of sales hiring, not a census of it.
