About

Most Seed through Series A–C SaaS companies struggle to hire Pre-Sales & Post-Sales talent and waste months on bad candidates because most recruiters don't get it. Traditional recruiters flood you with resumes, leaving your hiring team to do the heavy lifting and review 20+ resume's at a time. I help you hire top talent 3X faster using a targeted search and pre-vetted shortlists...so YOU spend less time filtering and more time closing deals. With a 92% retention rate, our clients are hiring smarter - not harder - leading to shorter sales cycles, better conversions, higher ACV and teams that scale with confidence. If hiring top Pre-Sales & Post-Sales talent has been a challenge, let’s fix that. 🔗 Book a call today: https://elitetalentrecruiting.io/clients --- When I’m not talking about SaaS and Pre/Post-Sales, you can find me chasing my toddler around or playing dinosaur fights with him, spending time by the beach (or at least dreaming about it), binging a Netflix series while having my LinkedIn open (you know you're guilty of that too), or planning my next vacation with my fiancé. 😎

  • Quick question, how many hours this week have you spent stuck reviewing resumes or interviews that weren't worth it, instead of actually running your team? If it’s more than zero, we should talk.
  • I know in SaaS Start-Ups, scaling the team while still hitting revenue targets is no small feat. That’s exactly where I help: I work with leaders to find the kind of pre- and post-sales talent that frees them up from resumes and interviews and lets them stay focused on growth.
