Saas interview

"We engaged Wilson Grey after struggling to find a Head of Sales. They took the time to really understand our needs and quickly sent strong candidates. There was clear communication throughout and their advice was crucial to us securing our preferred candidate. I would gladly work with them again and imagine we will before too long. "

FAQs

We recruit mid to senior-level talent for tech startups and scale-ups, from senior individual contributors through to C-suite. Our core areas are:

  • Go-to-market: Sales, Customer Success, Partnerships, Marketing & Growth
  • Tech: Engineering & Product
  • Data
  • Operations: People & Ops

Our core sectors are SaaS, FinTech and HealthTech. We also support adjacent areas where the talent overlaps, such as MarTech, when the role and company stage fit.

Yes. We work with startups across the UK and US, including roles based in or selling into the US market.

We typically deliver initial candidate profiles within five working days of agreeing the brief, with suitable profiles sometimes shared sooner. Overall time-to-hire depends on interview availability, decision-making and candidate notice periods.

We primarily operate on a retained model: an engagement fee initiates the search, with the remaining balance structured around agreed milestones such as shortlist, completion or start date. This gives each search dedicated delivery from start to finish.

See pricing & packages →

Pricing depends on the package or delivery model, the number of roles you’re hiring for, and the role seniority and salary. We’ll confirm exact pricing after a short briefing.

Permanent hires include a replacement guarantee, with enhanced terms available for Executive Search. The exact guarantee is confirmed in writing once the role is scoped and the package agreed.

We focus exclusively on early-stage and high-growth companies, proactively headhunt rather than relying on inbound applicants, and use structured scorecards and calibration to reduce noise and improve offer acceptance.
