Challenge: Find a partner to provide sales hiring expertise and stay in line with unique hiring requirements

Macorva was looking to establish a strong sales organization to drive business growth and secure full-scale enterprise deals. With technical founders, the company lacked the necessary expertise and resources to build an effective sales team.

They needed to identify experienced B2B SaaS sales professionals who could navigate the highly competitive market, communicate the company's mission, and close lucrative enterprise deals. Other partners they worked with struggled to find candidates that could truly deliver results or follow through with their requirements. 

Overcoming these obstacles required a strategic partner that would commit to a deep understanding of Macorva's unique demands.

Solution: Captivate Talent works to gain deep understanding of Macorva's business to ensure success

To address the challenge of building a robust sales organization, Captivate Talent started by thoroughly understanding Macorva's company mission and specific requirements—including industry requirements. 

With their expertise and extensive network, Captivate quickly identified experienced candidates that matched the skills Macorva was looking for.

The Captivate team was also able to better pitch Macorva to candidates over established companies, getting high performers excited about the role, Macorva, and their mission.

"Captivate provided us with multiple strong B2B sales professionals and did a great job pitching our smaller company over other established businesses in a competitive market. Their communication throughout the process was excellent.

I liked that they always followed up and followed up with candidates after we talked to them."
