Job Search

You run pipelines. Now run yours.

ABC applies to your own deal, too.

The tracking paradox.

You would never accept a team pipeline tracked in notes on your phone. Your job search is tracked in notes on your phone.

The rejection frequency.

You live in a world of 90% rejection. But when it is your own deal, each no lands differently.

The compensation maze.

Base, OTE, accelerators, kickers, RSUs, sign-on, quota ramp. You need a side-by-side, not a spreadsheet.

The gray market.

Half the best sales roles never hit LinkedIn. You need a real network activation plan, not a job board.

The quota reality check.

Every job description says aggressive growth target. Some mean it. Some are 30% attainable. You need to know which is which before signing.

Close your own deal.

You run pipelines. Now run yours.

ABC: always be closing. Your own deal, too.

A job search is a pipeline. Close them like accounts.

What changes.

Your search, run like your best quarter.

Stages. Close dates. Next actions. Decision-maker contact. Orbyt's pipeline is the CRM you already speak fluently, pointed at your own search. Every conversation, every stage, every decision-maker tracked the way you would never accept a team pipeline NOT being tracked.

Offers compared the way sales pros actually evaluate them.

Base, OTE, accelerators, kickers, RSUs, sign-on bonus, quota ramp, territory equity. Sales comp is not a single number. Orbyt's offer comparison lays it out the way you would benchmark a customer account: side by side, line item by line item, total value over years one, two, and three.

Your numbers, on every version of your résumé.

Quota attainment. Pipeline generated. Average deal size. Sales cycle length. Largest deal closed. Orbyt surfaces the metrics that matter in every version of your résumé, tailored to the role. Numbers over narrative, every time, exactly the way hiring managers in sales actually read résumés.

Senior AEs and enterprise sellers see meaningful OTE lift when they move, especially between the three-year and seven-year mark. These are the paths where the rep-to-role math works hardest.

Common questions

The same way you track a customer pipeline. Stages: lead, intro call, hiring manager, interview loop, reference check, offer, closed. Every contact, every next action, every decision-maker mapped. Orbyt auto-prompts follow-ups so you do not let a hiring conversation cool the way you would never let a deal cool.

Orbyt's offer comparison lays out base, OTE, accelerators, kickers, RSUs, sign-on, and quota ramp side by side for every offer you are evaluating. Total target compensation is displayed over years one, two, and three, exactly the way sales pros actually evaluate offers, not the way HR summarizes them.

Quota attainment percentage by year. Pipeline generated in dollars. Average deal size. Sales cycle length. Largest deal closed. President's Club years. Number of enterprise accounts managed. Orbyt's résumé tailoring surfaces these numbers in every version of your résumé, tailored to the specific role and tier.

Both, always. Roughly 40-60% of senior sales roles fill through warm intros and referrals. Orbyt's contact CRM tracks both channels in one pipeline so you never have to choose between them. Applications and referrals side by side in one view.

Two to five months for mid-market AE roles, three to six for enterprise AE, and four to nine for sales leadership. Quarter-end timing matters. Start in month 10 or 11 of the quarter and you often land faster because hiring managers are building next year's team.

Yes. The free plan has no time limit, no credit card required. It includes pipeline tracking, contact CRM, the free offer comparison tool, and interview prep. Hosted AI résumé tailoring is included on Free with monthly limits. The tools you use to run a territory, pointed at your own search.
