Why SaaS Recruiting is Different

  • Faster Hiring: Average 24 days to placement vs. 44-day industry standard

  • Tech Fluency: Candidates who understand SaaS fundamentals—subscription models, customer success, and recurring revenue strategies
  • Scalable Results: From startup phase through IPO, we deliver talent that grows with you
