Resumes Don't Predict Performance
A great resume doesn't mean a great closer. Sales is about energy, confidence, and communication — none of which appear on a CV. You're hiring a person, not a document.
Verb for Sales Hiring
See Your Candidates Sell
Before You Hire Them.
Resumes don't close deals. People do.
UseVerb is the video-first hiring platform built for sales teams.
Candidates pitch themselves on video. AI-powered sentiment analysis scores their confidence,
energy, and persuasiveness — so you see who can actually sell, not just who looks good on paper.
The average bad sales hire costs
$200,000.
UseVerb costs $6,000/year.

Why Sales Hiring Is Broken
Bad Hires Cost $200K+
Ramp time. Lost pipeline. Territory damage. Management time. Rehiring costs. One wrong sales hire doesn't just waste salary — it burns an entire quarter of revenue.
35% Annual Turnover
Sales has the highest turnover of any department. You're always hiring. You need a system that identifies real sellers fast — not another ATS that sorts keywords.
You need to see them sell. That's what Verb does.

Built for Sales Leaders Who Hire to Win
Every feature is designed to answer one question: can this person sell?
Video Pitch Applications
Candidates record a short video pitching themselves. You're not reading a resume — you're watching them sell. Their confidence, energy, structure, and delivery are all on display. This is the interview before the interview.
AI Sales Readiness Score
UseVerb's patented sentiment analysis evaluates every video submission. It measures confidence, persuasiveness, energy, clarity, and communication pace — then generates a Sales Readiness Score. Compare candidates objectively. Spot top talent instantly.
Sales Assessment Templates
Send candidates a real-world scenario before you ever meet them. "Sell me this product in 90 seconds." "Handle this objection." "Run a discovery call." See how they perform under pressure — not just how they interview.
Kanban Hiring Pipeline
Drag-and-drop candidates through your hiring funnel: Sourced, Screened, Video Reviewed, Assessment, Interview, Offer. Your whole team sees the pipeline. No candidate falls through the cracks.
Team Collaboration
WorkChat built into the hiring workflow. Your hiring managers, recruiters, and sales leaders collaborate on candidates in real-time. Share notes, scores, and feedback — all in one place. No more email threads.
Branded Sales Career Page
Attract top sales talent with a career page that showcases your sales culture, commission structure, and team. Top reps don't apply to job boards — they apply to teams that look like winners.
Stop hiring based on resumes. Start hiring based on ability.
See your candidates sell before you commit.

How UseVerb Works
Five steps to hiring sales reps who actually close.
1
Post Your Sales Role
Create a job listing on your branded career page. Choose or customise a sales assessment template — cold call sim, product pitch, objection handling, or your own scenario.
2
Candidates Pitch on Video
Candidates record a video pitch and complete your sales assessment. They sell themselves — literally. UseVerb's teleprompter and AI coach help them bring their best.
3
AI Scores Every Candidate
Patented sentiment analysis evaluates each video. Confidence. Energy. Persuasiveness. Clarity. Every candidate gets a Sales Readiness Score you can compare and rank.
4
Review & Collaborate
Watch the top-scored videos with your team. Share notes in WorkChat. Move candidates through your Kanban pipeline. Your whole hiring team is aligned.
5
Hire With Confidence
You've seen them sell. You've seen their scores. You've seen how they handle pressure. Now hire the rep you know will perform — not the one who just interviewed well.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
UseVerb is a video-first hiring platform built specifically for sales teams. Instead of relying on resumes alone, candidates record video pitches that showcase their selling ability. AI-powered sentiment analysis scores each candidate on confidence, energy, persuasiveness, and communication clarity — generating a Sales Readiness Score that predicts on-the-job performance.
-
The Sales Readiness Score uses UseVerb's patented AI sentiment analysis to evaluate candidate video submissions. It measures confidence, energy, persuasiveness, clarity, and communication pace — then generates a composite score. This helps hiring managers quickly identify top sales talent and compare candidates objectively, before a single live interview.
-
UseVerb offers three plans: Starter at $199/month (3 active roles, 2 seats), Growth at $499/month (unlimited roles, 10 seats, full AI scoring and assessment templates), and Scale at $999/month (unlimited everything, white-label, API access). All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The average bad sales hire costs $200K — UseVerb pays for itself by preventing just one.
-
Every sales candidate who applies through UseVerb can become a referral partner — even if they don't get the job. They've already proven they can sell (via their video application). Sales professionals earn commission by referring other candidates and companies to UseVerb. This creates a self-growing network of sales talent powered by the very people who use the platform.
-
