Tipped

If I was still a VP of Sales, I'd use Tipped to find my sales team hires. 

Simply put; I've founded a company to use my experience building Series A-D SaaS companies to ensure our clients hire the best possible people they can.

My methods will ensure that startups & scaleups make derisked hiring decisions by having me and my team of ex-SaaS executives to rely on to pre-select the best profiles for consideration and we personally interview every single candidate before it hits our clients.

If you're a tech company, we'll hire your Sales/Account Executive | Customer Success/Account Managers | Marketing | Operations | Product & Engineering | VP Sales | CROs

We cover all regions. EMEA | US | APAC.

Talk to us for a true talent partnership that you can count on for the long term. We find people who are 'Tipped' for Success.
