Success Stories

See how we’ve helped early-stage SaaS companies build high-performing revenue teams - from individual contributors to leadership roles.

"We knew the [job] requirements, but the profile was hazy. Captivate’s background in early stage hires helped shape the job description and offering.

We ended up targeting candidates that were able to be more hands on, because that’s truly needed and defining that early on with Captivate was a huge plus."

They never provide me with a bunch of unqualified candidates to sort through. It’s always specific and targeted."
