Case Study: Helping a SaaS Start-Up Find Their Head of Sales
Client: CEO of a SaaS start-up operating across the UK and DACH region
Role: Head of Sales (new position)
Location: Remote, with travel to UK or EU HQ as required
The Challenge
The CEO approached me feeling frustrated.
They were running an internal recruitment campaign but were hitting problems.
They wanted a better way to attract top talent without sacrificing quality or candidate care.
My Approach
Because they already had an internal campaign underway, a full retained search wasn’t right.
Instead, I offered a short-term consulting package:
- Two days of focused support
- Split into four structured sessions
- Fee: £990
What I Delivered
- Collaborative Search: I partnered with their internal team, running a targeted search while feeding qualified candidates into their own process. This gave them the benefit of a broader market search without disrupting their systems.
- Advertisement and Direct Sourcing: I created a tailored advert and ran a LinkedIn sourcing campaign.
- Enhanced Shortlist: I introduced two high-quality candidates who strengthened their overall shortlist and improved their hiring options.
The Outcome
The CEO was able to:
- Strengthen their candidate pool
- Protect the quality of the candidate experience
- Keep recruitment costs under control
- Avoid large recruitment fees
All for a one-off investment of £990.
Why This Works
My flexible, short-term approach gives companies access to real recruitment expertise without giving up control.
It’s perfect if you’re already recruiting but want to sharpen your results without committing to high fees or handing over the whole process.
