How WP Engine slashed their junior sales rep time to hire with Earlywork

In late 2023, the WP Engine team were introduced to Earlywork.

After conversations with Earlywork, the team were happy to go ahead with a trial and meet fellows from our Sales Employment Pathway.

Unlike other hiring solutions, WP Engine received hiring support beyond a regular recruitment agency in three ways:

1) Early exposure to an always on candidate pool

While we use the Group Interview and Certification to select the highest potential sales talent from our Sales Employment Pathway, candidates receive exposure to companies early.

In the Group Interview, WP Engine was showcased as a featured employer in all of our 4 weekly sessions.

In the Certification, WP Engine was used as a featured employer that candidates could choose to complete their sales and career exercises on.

2) Seamless integration with the WP Engine interview process

We don’t share candidates with a spray and pray approach, where employers can only judge sales talent from a resume.

Instead, each employer receives two services:

1. A dedicated Earlywork Account manager who meets regularly with the hiring stakeholders to understand ideal candidates and curate matches
2. Candidates are shared with a Rep Profile on the Earlywork platform which contains a; 30-60 second intro video, fun fact, JSD rating and fun fact

3) Continued support post hire

All Earlywork reps receive regular check-ins from the Earlywork team and our Account Manager.

Beyond that, hired reps can receive a discounted rate on Earlywork Sales Accelerator, our 10 week no-nonsense bootcamp teaching Aussie reps the system to increase their commissions.
