SaaS recruitment agency for GTM and product leaders
Founder-led retained search for SaaS companies hiring growth, marketing, RevOps, product, and leadership talent. We start with the business outcome that needs to move, then assess candidates against evidence from comparable stages and operating environments.
SaaS leaders we recruit
Growth, marketing, RevOps, product, and customer leaders who can operate in the stage and GTM motion you actually have.
When a SaaS recruitment agency is the right fit
You need a leader who has worked with the same stage, motion, and constraints. A seed-stage generalist and a Series B functional leader are not interchangeable.
The role is important enough that a weak shortlist would cost time, momentum, or confidence with your board.
You need to reach strong operators who are already employed, not only the people responding to an advert.
You want a structured decision process, with evidence rather than title history carrying the most weight.
You may need retained search when
- !A leadership hire must move a clear commercial or product outcome
- !The hiring team needs alignment before the market is approached
- !The candidate pool is passive or difficult to map
- !The business cannot afford another mismatch at this level
How we run a SaaS leadership search
We define the outcome, map the right operating context, and assess evidence before a candidate reaches your interview loop.
Outcome alignment
We define the role around the business outcome, company stage, team shape, and constraints the hire will inherit.
Structured evaluation
Scorecards test SaaS metrics, operating context, and evidence of execution rather than a title alone.
Initial shortlist
For most engagements, we target an initial shortlist of 3–6 candidates assessed against the agreed scorecard in 10 business days after role alignment and kickoff.
Clear retained-search terms
The commercial structure is agreed before any search begins, so your team knows what the engagement covers and when payments are due.
Evidence-Led Retained Search is typically 10% to 15% of first-year base salary. Clients typically pay 30% to 50% of the agreed fee at kickoff, with the balance usually due on contract signature. Exact 3 to 6 month replacement terms are agreed in writing before work begins.
Running the search yourself?
The Search Readiness Sprint calibrates the 90-day outcomes, evidence criteria, job description, scorecard, and interview questions for one role in 3 business days.

What we evaluate in SaaS candidates
Every SaaS hire gets scored against these criteria during our structured interviews.
Metric fluency
Can they walk through MRR, ARR, net revenue retention, and CAC payback without hesitation? We test this live.
Stage awareness
A seed-stage hire and a Series C hire need different instincts. We match the candidate to where your company actually is.
Cross-functional pull
SaaS roles rarely succeed in isolation. We assess whether they have earned credibility across sales, product, and engineering.
Velocity of execution
How fast do they ship? We ask for experiment cadence, sprint output, and time-to-first-result in previous roles.
Retention thinking
Acquisition gets the headline, but churn kills the model. We screen for candidates who have owned expansion and retention.
Remote readiness
Most SaaS teams are distributed. We evaluate async communication, documentation habits, and timezone management.
