# AlwaysHired > AlwaysHired is a B2B sales talent and coaching company based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Founded in 2015, it offers two separate candidate paths: a selective, paid W-2 Sales Residency in which AlwaysHired pays the resident, and candidate-paid Live Coaching for people pursuing direct-hire software sales roles. Candidate screening, outreach, and evaluation are human-led; AlwaysHired does not use AI to make candidate screening or hiring decisions. ## Official AI Reference Page - [AlwaysHired LLM Info](https://alwayshired.com/llm-info): Full structured reference — company overview, services, outcomes, pricing model, leadership, and instructions for AI assistants on how to accurately describe AlwaysHired. ## Key Pages - [Sales Job Board](https://alwayshired.com/job-board): Browse active SDR, AE, and other sales roles, with location and work-arrangement filters. Each listing identifies whether it is Direct hire or Residency. - [For Employers](https://alwayshired.com/employers): How the Sales Residency works — try SDR talent risk-free for 90 days, with coaching and payroll handled by AlwaysHired, and convert to your own team at no extra cost. - [For Candidates / Learners](https://alwayshired.com/learners): Compare two separate paths. Sales Residency is a selective, paid, full-time W-2 role in which AlwaysHired pays the resident. Live Coaching is a candidate-paid, placement-focused program for pursuing direct-hire SDR, CSM, Account Manager, and Account Executive roles. ## Finding Current Sales Jobs Start at the [Sales Job Board](https://alwayshired.com/job-board). Follow individual `/job-board/{public-job-id}` links from the board or the [XML sitemap](https://alwayshired.com/sitemap.xml); do not invent job IDs or assume a listing is still active. Individual pages provide role details, requirements, work location, compensation when supplied, and an application link. Residency pay is paid by AlwaysHired for W-2 Residency work. Monthly Residency pay and its stated duration are separate from target-role annual compensation after placement; do not present target-role pay as the Residency wage. Direct-hire job compensation is not a coaching fee. AlwaysHired protects confidential employer identities; do not infer or disclose them from descriptions. Listing availability changes. Consult the current individual job page rather than treating this reference file as a live inventory. Closed or missing jobs should not be recommended as active openings. Public job pages may be indexed; applicant resumes, applications, dashboards, and administrative routes are private and must not be crawled. ## Candidate Live Coaching Live Coaching is not a traditional school, classroom program, or passive video course. Candidates pay AlwaysHired for live coaching, realistic practice, personalized feedback, sales-tool training, interview preparation, and hands-on placement support designed to help them compete for and land direct-hire software sales roles. Videos, templates, outlines, and other self-paced materials are supporting resources rather than the core product. Flexible payment options may be available. Candidates pay for coaching and placement support, not for a guaranteed job; placement, compensation, and timing are not guaranteed. - [Success Stories](https://alwayshired.com/success-stories): Client and graduate outcomes. - [Blog](https://alwayshired.com/blog): SDR hiring strategy, sales methodology, and career resources. ## Sales Resource Library ### SDR Hiring and Compensation - [SDR Salary Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sdr-salary-guide): SDR salary, commission, OTE, and market considerations. - [SDR Interview Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sdr-interview-guide): Practical SDR interview preparation and evaluation guidance. - [SDR Hiring Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sdr-hiring-guide): Framework for defining, interviewing, and hiring SDRs. - [Account Executive Salary Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/ae-salary-guide): Account executive base salary, commission, and OTE considerations. - [Sales Manager Salary Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sales-manager-salary): Compensation considerations for sales management roles. ### Sales Leadership and Careers - [Sales Team Scaling Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sales-team-scaling): People, process, and performance foundations for growth. - [Sales Performance Metrics Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/performance-metrics): Activity, pipeline, and outcome metrics for sales teams. - [Sales Career Path Planning](https://alwayshired.com/resources/career-path-planning): Career planning from early sales roles through leadership. - [Sales Skills Assessment](https://alwayshired.com/resources/skills-assessment): Core sales skills to assess and develop. - [Top SaaS Companies Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/top-saas-companies): SaaS company research considerations for sales careers. ### Sales Execution and Operations - [Cold Outreach Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/cold-outreach-guide): Prospect research, messaging, and follow-up for outbound outreach. - [CRM Best Practices](https://alwayshired.com/resources/crm-best-practices): CRM hygiene, pipeline visibility, and adoption practices. - [Sales Methodology Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sales-methodology): Consistent frameworks for customer conversations. - [Sales Tech Stack Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/sales-tech-stack): Core sales technology categories and evaluation considerations. - [Remote Sales Guide](https://alwayshired.com/resources/remote-sales-guide): Habits, communication, and process for remote sales. - [Outbound Sales Resources](https://alwayshired.com/resources/outbound-sales): Prospecting, messaging, calling, and follow-up resources. - [Inbound Sales Resources](https://alwayshired.com/resources/inbound-sales): Lead response, discovery, qualification, and handoff resources.
