Well…. This just happened…. Hiring manager: What is your superpower? Candidate: Getting you to make me an offer before this call is over. Glad I was a fly on the wall for this one! On a side note, knowing a candidate's superpower is cool but what is more important is to understand their actual sales process. Just sayin…. #hiring #recruiterlife #recruiting #saassales #gsd #agsd #sales #startup #founder #ceo

Hire for Growth, Not Just the Role When you’re growing a company, you can’t just hire for what you need today—you’ve got to hire for where you’re headed. A great hire shouldn’t just fill a gap; they should elevate your team and drive long-term growth. Look for candidates who can scale with your company, adapt to change, and contribute beyond the job description. Those are the people who push your business forward. #hiring #recruiterlife #recruiting #saassales #gsd #agsd #sales #startup #founder #ceo

I just sling deals all day, every day! That’s it. That’s my process. Sigh….. Me: Please walk me through your sales process from start to finish. Be as detailed as possible. I want to understand how you operate. Candidate: I just sling deals all day, every day! That’s it. That’s my process. If you don’t know your process or don’t have one, you may want to figure that out before trying to move from an SMB role to a Mid-Market role. #hiring #recruiterlife #recruiting #saassales #gsd #agsd #sales #startup #founder #ceo

This is from a friend. "They asked me to do multiple test projects and in the end I put in about 10 hours of work and didn’t land the client. I think they were having me build everything out for free and had no desire to hire my services." Folks, this is a real thing. I fell prey to it when I started my business. Simple fix. If you are a fractional VP or a recruiter or someone who helps companies move to the next level and they want to “test you”, cool. CHARGE FOR IT! Seriously. If they are a legit company and are really wanting to “test drive” your services, they will be more than happy to pay. If not, RED FLAG time. FYI, My top partners ALWAYS pay for the test drive. That is all….. #hiring #recruiterlife #recruiting #saassales #gsd #agsd #sales #startup #founder #ceo
* Hiring Alert* I'm connecting Sales Talent and Bootstrapped Founders. I've started advising more and more bootstrapped SaaS businesses and building the GTM is always the same steps as venture backed startups without the pressure to grow rapidly and the extra capital to take on more risk. And without the war chest of cash that comes with venture funding Bootstrapped startups often struggle to attract the best sales talent in the early days, BUT many have huge potential and are willing and creative around sharing greater amounts of equity. I've been matchmaking (for no compensation as I'm not a recruiter) between sales talent (SDRs, AEs and Leaders) and bootstrapped startups that don't want to pay for recruiters. If you're a bootstrapped business looking for sales talent or sales talent looking for an alternative to a venture backed startups DM me and I'll do some connecting. Please share around for your friends who are looking for new roles or bootstrapped Founders looking to make hires.

This is exactly why hiring a Fractional TA Leader or Embedded Recruiter is a far more cost-effective decision! Having spent half of my recruiting career in agency life, I intentionally shifted away from contingent models (retained or hourly only). Charging clients a percentage of the candidate's annual salary per placement is a practice I no longer believe in. It brings Talent Refinery so much joy to help our clients see these smarter financial choices! Go Jake Huber! #fractionalhiring #fractionalrecruiting
Scaled 3 unicorns & teams from 0→250+ ?? | 150+ founders read my newsletter to scale their teams smarter ?? | Early Uber
In 2 months my rent-a-recruiter service saved our client over $230k. We sourced, screened, interviewed & hired 13 new employees: → 2 senior ops managers @ $110k → 9 operations managers @ $75k → 2 CS coordinators @ $50k If our client (Series A startup) was working with a traditional recruiting agency, they would have paid 25% commissions on first-year salaries, totaling $250,000 ?? But by working with Venture Scaler on our flexible hourly plans, they saved over 90% (not a typo). And by saving them $230k, they effectively hired 3 ops managers for “free.” That also means we helped them avoid $100k+ of monthly burn. Imagine what you could do at your startup with an extra $230,000. That’s a pre-seed round for a lot of startups! ___ ?? Liked this? Repost to help a founder ??

Hey Salespeople/leaders. Are you an “opener” or a “closer”. In my opinion it’s the most important part of the hiring process to define this core characteristic. #sales #salespeople #business #hiring #startup
Hiring has picked up significantly in Q2. Jagger closed ~1m in salaries last week alone. We also saw multiple declines for competing offers. Some of our clients have raised a Series A 4-6 months before they thought they'd be able to. Series B's are picking up for all of these high activity Seed to Series A companies that have taken most of the funding for the past 2 years. Talent liquidity in the market is strong - There are a lot of great people actively looking for their next role. But it's still hard to find and hire the best. If you're hiring right now, it's important to be incredibly proactive on your GTM strategy when it comes to recruiting. It's a great time to be hiring. But at this pace... the market will inevitably catch up and that liquidity may not be so prevalent in the coming months. Onward #Jobs #Recruiting #Startups
