A bad executive hire costs $200K-$500K in direct salary and severance, plus months of lost productivity while you search for a replacement. The wrong CTO derails your technology roadmap. The wrong VP Sales disrupts your revenue trajectory. The technology executive search firm you choose determines your timeline and the quality of candidates you meet. Some…

Great CTOs aren’t job hunting. They’re employed, equity-holding, comfortable. The only way to attract them is through a recruiter/executive search firm that knows them personally and makes the opportunity worth the move. However, not all CTO firms work the same way. Some are generalist executive search firms. Some specialize in tech but lack depth in…

Choosing the right recruitment agency in Melbourne comes down to a good fit between the firm and the specific hire you’re making. A GTM search firm will be useless for your IT infrastructure role.

You interview six people who don’t fit. The seat stays empty for two more months. The fix is to use a recruiter with an active…

There is no single SaaS sales team structure that works across every stage. What the team looks like at $1M ARR is different from what it needs to be at $5M, and both are different again at $10M+. The roles change. The hiring order changes. The profiles you need at each stage change. An org…

The founding account executive is not simply the first person in a sales role.
