Go-to-Market recruitment for startups

Proven Go-To-Market talent for ambitious startups.

As a specialist SaaS GTM recruitment partner, we help venture-backed tech companies hire commercial talent across the UK and US, from first go-to-market hires through to building out sales and marketing teams.

Our work typically supports companies moving from founder-led sales into a structured GTM function, or scaling beyond initial traction. We deliver vetted shortlists in 5-10 working days, introducing candidates who have operated at similar stages and understand what it takes to turn activity into revenue.

Revenue teams that actually scale

The most impactful sales & marketing talent aren't browsing job boards – they're closing deals and expanding accounts at market-leading companies. We headhunt off-market talent across Sales, Marketing, Partnerships, Customer Success, and RevOps to find people with proven success in scaling ARR and improving retention rates.

Volume doesn’t equal value. At this stage, hiring more people without a clear motion usually creates more noise, not more revenue. We cut through that by focusing on candidates who have:

  • built pipeline, not just worked it
  • closed deals in ambiguous environments
  • contributed to shaping the sales or growth motion, not just executing it

Whether you’re hiring your first Account Executive or adding experienced hires to an existing team, the focus is the same - people who can operate without a fully built system and still produce results.

Timing wins markets. We move fast to present you with shortlists within 5 working days of first brief, giving you access to Account Executives, Demand Gen, and Sales & Marketing talent so you keep your competitive edge when it matters most.
