Recruitment for SaaS sales roles

• Headhunting and screening of individual contributors and sales leaders
• Structured hiring process called The Cosmic Way
• Transparent, packaged pricing with clear deliverables

Advisory for founders

• Free GTM reviews covering pipeline, ICP, motion and enablement
• Interview design, interview task creation, and scoring matrix
• Onboarding guidance and client aftercare to set founders up for success

Community and content

• Practical GTM articles, playbooks and videos for B2B tech founders found on GTM Resources
• Regular insights based on 15 years of SaaS sales leadership experience with monthly newsletter called The Revenue Rocket

• Founders building and scaling their first GTM team
• Sales leaders under growth targets who need screened candidates fast
• VCs seeking trusted GTM support for portfolio companies

The Cosmic Way is a step-by-step approach that reduces hiring risk and saves time:

1. Discovery: 90+ minutes covering company priorities, motion, ICP, role scope, interview design and success criteria.
2. Go Live: Job description, ideal candidate profile, market mapping, interview task and scheduling.
3. Search: Sourcing via a proprietary database, a 50k+ personal brand network, referrals, targeted headhunting and relevant adverts. Brand is protected through tailored outreach.
4. Screening: Initial screen, in-depth interview, bespoke questions from discovery, and creation of detailed Cosmic Profiles for finalists.
5. Interview, hire and onboard: Calendar booking, scoring matrix, reference checks and structured handover.
6. Aftercare: Post-placement aftercare to give founders the tools, coaching and structure to manage a new sales hire with confidence and includes open Slack support to set founders up for success.

Operator DNA: Former SaaS sellers and a former VP of Sales run the process, not junior recruiters or generalists.

Time to quality: Pre-vetted candidates are delivered on a tight timeline with minimal client time required, often around 90 minutes to kick off.

Structured screening: Cosmic Profiles and role-specific questions raise accuracy and reduce interview waste.

GTM insight built in: Advice on role timing, sequence of hires, and founder-led sales fundamentals to avoid costly mis-hires.

Transparent pricing: Packaged options that make value and scope clear at every stage.

• First AE or sales leader hire after founder-led wins
• Scaling IC teams once repeatability is proven
• Diagnosing conversion issues before adding top-of-funnel roles
• Preparing for fundraising with sharper GTM hiring and process

Talent is sourced mainly through headhunting. Referrals, a large personal sales network, and a 50k+ personal brand audience are also sources of candidate attraction. Precision comes from discovery-led targeting rather than broad blasts.
