How it works

From brief to shortlist in four steps.

No new process to learn. Describe what your reps sell, send one link, and read the results like a sales manager would.

01

Describe your product. Get your buyer.

Write a short brief: what candidates are selling, who they're selling to, and the objections you hear in real deals. That becomes an AI buyer with a personality, pain points, and a healthy dose of skepticism.

  • Start from a template or build from scratch
  • Your real objections, raised naturally on every call
02

Candidates click one link. That's it.

No account, no downloads, no scheduling. The link opens a clear briefing: what they're selling, who answers the phone, and the rules. They start when they're ready, on any device.

  • Send via email or your ATS: one link per assessment
  • A step candidates respect: briefed, fair, on their schedule
03

They sell against a buyer who pushes back.

A live, unscripted 5-minute voice call with your AI buyer. She raises the objections you configured, rewards real discovery, and won't agree to a demo out of politeness. Every call is recorded and transcribed.

  • Same scenario for everyone: standardized and fair
  • Real skill, not rehearsed answers: live conversation, no script
04

Read the call like a sales manager.

Every attempt comes back scored with an AI hiring verdict, strengths and risks backed by quotes, the full recording, and hard mechanics like talk-listen ratio and questions asked.

  • Listen to any call, jump to the moments that matter
  • Compare candidates against the platform average

FAQ

Everything you need to know.

Our AI evaluates the same criteria experienced sales managers use: discovery quality, objection handling, value articulation, and closing ability. We've validated our scoring against human evaluators with 90%+ agreement rates. The AI looks at conversation structure, not just keywords.

Yes. You can create custom scenarios featuring your actual product, target buyer persona, and common objections. You see exactly how candidates would perform selling your solution.

Each sales simulation takes about 5 minutes. You choose how many attempts candidates get (1–5), and their best score counts. Results are instant, so you can review them immediately after each attempt.

Yes. Every call is recorded. You can play the full conversation, jump to any line of the transcript, and replay the AI-graded best and worst moments with one click, so you hear exactly how a candidate sounds under pressure before you ever interview them.

We score 5 core areas: (1) Control and Structure: does the rep take control and set an agenda? (2) Discovery: quality and depth of questions asked. (3) Value Linkage: connecting product to buyer needs. (4) Objection Handling: addressing pushback effectively. (5) Close: moving to next steps. We also track talk:listen ratio, speech rate, interruptions, and specific sales techniques used.

ATS integrations are coming soon. Currently, you can easily share assessment links via email and export candidate results as CSV. We're building integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby. Join our waitlist to get early access.

CanYouSell assesses job-relevant skills (sales ability) consistently across all candidates. It doesn't collect or evaluate protected characteristics. We recommend using scores as one input in your hiring process, not the sole factor. Consult your legal team for specific compliance questions related to your hiring practices.
