What makes this sector hard

  • SaaS titles hide very different jobs

    A CSM at a self-serve tool is a different job to one at an enterprise platform. The rubric follows your motion, not the title.

  • Metrics fluency matters

    We evaluate evidence of working with ARR, NRR, activation, expansion and payback — instead of accepting CV words at face value.

  • GTM specialisation is fragmenting

    RevOps, sales engineering, lifecycle and partnerships are now distinct crafts. Role-specific rubrics stop the wrong specialist reaching shortlist.

  • Stage-fit is under-priced

    Seed, Series B and post-IPO operators optimise for different problems. Stage and headcount are captured in intake as first-class filters.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For saas, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Motion-specific rubric (PLG, mid-market, enterprise)
  • Metrics evidence from the CV
  • Stage & headcount captured as filters

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • Pragmatic Institute (PMC)
  • Reforge programs
  • Gainsight Admin
  • Salesforce Administrator

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
  3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
  4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
