Apprento helps NZ's most exciting technology companies hire their next generation of sales talent. We kick off tech sales careers for those with little to no experience! 

At Apprento we assess and place you into sales and customer-facing roles at leading tech companies and then wrap ongoing education and mentorship around you to ensure that you are successful in your role. 

Once you've met the Apprento application criteria, you go into our 'talent pool' and will meet exciting tech companies that we think will be a match for you. If you like each other, then your journey begins in a permanent role.

The people we've placed into roles love the fact we provide a supported pathway into companies, backed up with ongoing education and mentorship as well as networking with and getting support from others who are on a similar journey - so a real community feel! 

Candidates we've placed feel like they've come 'up-to-speed' quicker and as a result are able to earn more with the average Apprento candidate earning $80K or more in their first year and top performers earning in excess of $100K + and the average candidate being promoted within 12 months to more senior roles. 

You'll naturally enjoy talking to people, be empathetic, have a good work ethic and will be open to learning. If this sounds like you, keep reading…no experience, no worries!

Recruitment Process

You'll naturally enjoy talking to people, be empathetic, have a good work ethic and will be open to learning. You'll have 'fire in your belly and want to take charge of your career and learning!

We see your qualifications as just a part of who you are. We don't look for specific degrees, we are keen to take on people with all different perspectives to provide diverse ways of thinking and approaching challenges. We're just as interested in your sports and interests, your part-time jobs and how you'll fit the culture of the companies we work with.

Typically our process will involve a chat with a member of our team and then attending one of our interactive education sessions via Zoom (1 hour and no need to leave the house!). During our online session, you'll meet others, take part in a group exercise and will also learn 'how to stand out in your job search! You'll also complete an online strength finder to help you understand yourself even better!

To be considered for positions with our clients:

  • You'll be a New Zealand citizen or resident
  • You'll be involved in interactive and informative career sessions
  • You can commit to a full-time role

To start with, all we need is your CV! From there, the application process will take about 1.5 hours including the group education session. From there we would be arranging for you to meet companies immediately after!

Remuneration & Career Growth

First-year gross earnings can be from $70,000 to $85,000 and can be higher if you progress quickly - we have top performers earning six figures in their first year! Most of our clients have a commission or bonus structure that rewards more performance! Apprento candidates in their second year often earn $100k+ and above!

The opportunities for growth are plenty! You might grow with the company - if it's an 'earlier stage' company (like Xero was in the early days!) then your responsibilities will grow as the company gets bigger and there is more to do.

You might deal with bigger customers or lead a team or focus on overseas expansion! You could even move into more product or marketing focused roles. The options are endless and starting in a sales or customer focused role will give you great insight into how the company works and what customers are looking for - both vital for any role!

Typically within 12-18 months Apprento candidates have been promoted to more senior roles within their organisations - the career progression is fast! With a background in sales, you'll be confident that if you have an idea that solves a problem, you'll be able to generate revenue. Many companies never reach their potential because the sales capability just isn't there.
