We have successfully placed top sales professionals in various sectors and are equipped to help clients build high-performing sales teams regardless of industry.

Check out our success stories to see success stories where we’ve helped startups hire for multiple roles across sales, marketing, and CX.

What are some key things I should look for in a sales recruitment agency?

A few things you should be looking for in a sales recruitment firm:
- An agency that’s based in the same timezone as the candidates you are looking for—candidates want to speak at times that are convenient to them
- A recruiting agency that has plenty of experience hiring the same roles you’re looking to hire—the cost of a bad hire can make or break SaaS startups at this stage
- An agency that shift to your shifting needs—that’s why we're not just an executive search firm or a go-to-market hiring team. We have teams for each function.

Why should I use software sales recruiters from Captivate instead of hiring myself?

There's almost certainty that our team has completed the exact hiring search you might be working on right now.

That means instead of starting from scratch, you can start with our deep network of sales professionals. You will also save time during the search as we only pass the most qualified candidates to you for interviewing.
