Why these hiresare hard.
A generalist rarely lands in a technical business. The commercial hire has to be able to follow the conversation.

Technical products need commercial people who can follow the conversation
A strong closer who cannot hold their own in a technical room will struggle. The filter is narrower than the title suggests, and it is not one a generalist search picks up.
Early commercial hires set the culture
The first marketer or the first finance lead shapes how the function works for years. Hiring them on availability rather than fit is expensive in a way that shows up late.
Good candidates are assessing you too
Commercial people read a hiring process as a preview of the company. A slow, vague process tells them what they need to know.
How we runthe search.
We map the market, have the right conversations and present only the people who genuinely fit.
- 1
We work out what the hire has to change
Not the job description — the outcome. Once that is clear, the profile usually narrows itself and the search gets faster.
- 2
We reference the numbers properly
Quota, territory, team size, what was inherited and what was built. Commercial track records need context before they mean anything.

Every candidate we approach forms an impression of your business from the conversation. We take that seriously whether or not they end up applying.
Who we usuallydo this for.
- Technology vendors building a commercial team
- Founder-led businesses hiring a first sales leader
- Scale-ups formalising go-to-market
- Startups and high growth scale-ups

- Replacement hires that did not work out

Commercial hiring,answered.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
Do you only hire commercial roles inside technology companies?
That is where we are strongest. The value we add comes from knowing the product landscape well enough to judge whether someone can sell into it.
Can you help us define the compensation structure?
We can tell you what we are seeing in live processes and where offers are landing, which is usually enough to sanity-check a package before it goes out.
How junior or senior do you go?
From the first hire in a function through to leadership. The model that fits changes with the seniority, and we will recommend one rather than defaulting to the most expensive.
What regions do you recruit in?
Europe, the Middle East and Africa are where we are strongest, and we place remote and relocating candidates beyond that. Tell us where the role sits and we will be straight with you about how deep our network is there.
Good people.Great words.
