Jack Collins — Founder
I run two complementary practices at JaxStack Solutions. The first is what most recruiters do — I partner with VC-backed startups to place A-player GTM and engineering talent on contingency. The second is rarer: I selectively represent senior executives in confidential career searches, doing all the outreach and positioning on their behalf so they never have to touch a job board. If I'm reaching out to you about a specific candidate, that's what's happening — I've vetted them personally and I'm vouching for them directly. For traditional contingency recruiting services: I work with companies that are moving fast and refuse to settle for average hires. Since launching JaxStack Solutions in 2024, I’ve quietly become the go-to external recruiting partner for VC-backed startups and scaling tech firms who need “A-Player” GTM, Sales, and Engineering talent — the kind LinkedIn Recruiter alone can’t surface. My clients fall between Series A–D, hit 30% ARR, and are obsessed with velocity. They don’t have time for 90-day agency searches or mediocre shortlists. They call me when they need: → First AE / SDR hires that actually hit quota in <90 days → Founding engineers or Staff+ ICs who ship like owners → VP Sales / CROs who have done it before (and can prove it) → Hard-to-fill roles that your recruiters have failed on for 6+ months How we win: → Deep passive candidate sourcing (Boolean mastery, JuiceBox AI-driven searches, GitHub mining, Discord communities, sequence hacking) → Obsessive market mapping + compensation intelligence (I know what the hottest Series B just paid their third AE) → Reference-backed screening — I only present candidates I’d hire myself → 90%+ offer acceptance rate because I sell the vision harder than most founders do Results speak louder than promises: → 25% average reduction in time-to-hire → Multiple roles filled that were open 8–14 months before I touched them → Clients include AWS/GCP/Azure partners, fintech disruptors, and AI-first startups you’ve definitely read about I’m not the biggest agency. I’m the one founders message at 11pm on a Friday when the board just asked why the AE job post is still open. If you’re building something big and talent is the bottleneck, then let’s talk. If you're a senior sales or tech leader ready for your next move, I probably already have something worth your time. Shoot me an invite to connect. I actually reply.
