In short, it's a very tough marketplace out there for people in our space
As an in house recruitment function, you will of probably witnessed this already...
The very best people aren't 'searching' for roles, they're relying on a network and connections to get them into the right businesses
n8 do all of the 'heavy lifting' and are tasked with building extremely strong networks, and recruitment campaigns to ensure you get who you need for your recruitment assignment
Long gone are the days when you're able to just advertise for a Sales & Marketing role, to expect a good return
The roles in this space are notoriously difficult to fill, especially in SaaS, and typically require a thorough search process, and exceptional market understanding
n8's sole purpose is to build up a strong enough network to enable our clients to tap into the marketplace without having to rely on advertising response
We're dealing with incredibly busy people, with complex roles, and very little time to 'apply' for positions
Exceptional sales people in particular are of a highly target geared, and generally less active from a proactive search perspective. They need to be persuaded as to why they should consider a move
n8 are focused on being as integrated into the GTM landscape as much as possible, to give informed and accurate advice regarding the current marketplace
Sales & Marketing talent is in such high demand, very few of the best people need to actively apply for roles
By using a specialist search consultancy, you're able to tap into the dormant market, which is where the best talent base is found
n8 use a vast amount of thought leadership, content and personalised outreach to connect up with those not 'actively searching'. Our networking capabilities are pretty much unmatched in our space
With over 30 years experience in recruitment & search techniques in GTM, n8 are trusted to build the most effective outreach campaign for you as a client
Full LinkedIn recruiter profiles, insights from leading subject matter experts and guidance from those having built teams in this space before... gives n8 a headstart in comparison to other more generalist agency solutions
n8 speak with Sales and Marketing people every day... it's all we do and we're very good to getting under the skin of why a move is being considered, and whether there's synergy with exclusive assignments
We bet that you've received CVs with very few details, or ambiguity surrounding their current circumstances from other agencies along the way...
n8 conduct full candidate profiling, and will offer up a breakdown and synopsis of simple but critical elements to the candidate search
Why that person is considering a move, motivators, restrictions to skillsets, why your role appeals from a development perspective... along with the usual, salary requirement, location and notice, which you might only just squeeze out of another recruiter
If we can help, we'll tell you...
If we can't, we'll be transparent enough to let you know why that's the case in the current marketplace
We're focused on an effective use of your time as the hiring manager, and our candidate's time in relation to the search credentials
