Specialist SaaS sales recruitment for UK B2B SaaS and technology companies. We find, approach and deliver Account Executives, SDRs, sales leaders and RevOps people, including the ones who aren’t looking.
REVENUE HIRING IS BROKEN FOR MOST SAAS BUSINESSES.
Growing B2B SaaS companies lose months, and real pipeline, to slow and reactive hiring. A job advert brings you the people who are looking. The people you actually want are usually busy hitting quota somewhere else.
The AEs you want are already employed, hitting target and not reading job adverts. If they move, it's because someone approached them with the right opportunity. That takes a proper search, not a job posting.
If a recruiter can't tell the difference between a high-velocity mid-market seller and an enterprise AE running six-month sales cycles, you get the wrong CVs. You then lose time briefing, filtering and interviewing people who were never going to fit.
An empty AE seat is a territory nobody is working. An empty leadership seat is a team without direction. Every week a revenue role stays open, pipeline you planned for isn't being built, and the target doesn't move to make room for it.
The wrong revenue hire costs far more than the fee. Missed quota, a territory that goes cold, a team watching someone struggle, and a sales leader spending their time fixing it instead of selling. Getting the fit right first time matters.
SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT ACROSS THE FULL REVENUE FUNCTION.
From a first SDR hire to a CRO, we recruit the people who build and run revenue teams at UK B2B SaaS and technology companies. We know what good looks like at each level, and how to spot it.
CROs, VPs of Sales, Heads of Sales and Regional Sales Directors. Leaders who have built teams, owned a number and can run a forecast, not just talk about one. We look at what they've actually built, at what stage, and whether that matches where you are.
Enterprise and mid-market AEs who can open new logos, run a proper sales cycle and close consistently. We match the seller to your deal size, sales cycle and ICP, because a great mid-market closer and a great enterprise AE are rarely the same person.
SDRs and BDRs who build pipeline, not just work through a list. We look for coachability, commercial instinct and evidence they can book meetings that turn into real opportunities, whether you need a first hire or a full team.
RevOps and Sales Enablement people who make the revenue engine run properly. Clean CRM data, a forecast you can trust, territories that make sense and onboarding that gets new reps to quota faster.
A RECRUITMENT PROCESS BUILT FOR SPEED AND PRECISION.
We don't post a job and wait. Every role gets a structured, proactive search.
We start with your sales motion, deal size, ICP, targets and what has made people succeed or fail in the role before. Then we map where the right people are, including at competitors, and agree what good looks like before we approach anyone.
We approach the people who fit, directly and personally, whether or not they're looking. That includes the ones who would never see a job advert. You get access to candidates you can't reach through a posting.
Every candidate is interviewed against your brief before you see them: track record against quota, deal sizes, sales cycle, motivation and whether they'll fit your team. You spend your interview time on people who can actually do the job.
We stay close through offer, notice period and start date. That means managing expectations on both sides, dealing with counter-offers early and keeping the candidate engaged until day one, so fewer offers fall through.
