FAQ

PE and VC hiring questions

Do you work across a whole portfolio?+

Yes. We agree one commercial framework with the fund and apply it across every portfolio company, so each business gets the same standard of search without renegotiating terms each time.

Can you support commercial diligence before we invest?+

We run GTM diligence on a target's revenue organisation: quota coverage, attainment, ramp, pipeline sources, forecast discipline and leadership risk, benchmarked against comparable software scale-ups.

How quickly can a portfolio company see candidates?+

A shortlist is delivered within 14 days of kick-off, and we continue to pipeline beyond it so the search never stalls if a finalist drops out.

What does a delayed GTM hire actually cost?+

Every unfilled quota-carrying seat leaks revenue daily. Our Quota Loss Calculator models the loss for your quota, attainment and days-to-hire assumptions so the cost is quantified, not guessed.

Which sectors do you cover?+

Enterprise software with deep strength in cyber security, cloud, data, DevOps and AI vendors, from first commercial hire through to CRO.

Retained, contingent or embedded?+

All three. Funds typically use retained search for leadership appointments and an embedded or RPO model when a portfolio company is scaling a team quickly.
