Who is hiring saless in Chicago

RefOpen currently lists 79 live sales roles in Chicago, posted by 25 different employers, 33 of them in the last seven days. The companies posting most often right now are Braze, Stripe and ServiceNow. Every one of these is a real opening pulled from the employer's own careers page or an aggregator, not a reposted listing.

What the roles are called

Job titles in this market cluster around Account Executive, Scale, Business Development Representative, Account Executive, SMB (Grower) and Account Executive, Enterprise. Titles vary far more than the work does, so it is worth searching the family rather than one exact phrase: a "Account Executive, Scale" at one company and a "Business Development Representative" at another are frequently the same job at the same level.

Why a referral matters for sales roles in Chicago

Chicago is a competitive market for this function, and with 25 employers hiring at once the same candidates are applying to many of them. A cold application lands in an applicant tracking system alongside hundreds of others and is filtered before a human sees it. A referral is submitted from inside the company, which puts the application in front of a recruiter as a named recommendation rather than another row in a queue.

How to get referred in Chicago

Create a RefOpen profile, find the sales role you want in Chicago, and request a referral from a verified employee at that company. You do not need an existing connection there. If nobody takes up your request, the cost is refunded in full, so the downside of asking is nothing.

Does a referral guarantee an interview?

No, and any site that promises one is misleading you. A referral gets your application read by a person inside the company instead of filtered by software. If no employee takes your request, RefOpen refunds it in full.
