Posting Statement
Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination.

This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey.

Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.

Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Tell me about a project where b2b sales was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where lead generation was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where cold outreach was part of your work. What did you do?
- Walk me through how you've used Agentforce in your day-to-day work.
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI agents, B2b Sales, Lead Generation, Cold Outreach, and Agentforce. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
