Why hiring teams choose us

Sector depth, careful screening, and a clear order of preference

Hiring your first few Account Executives sets the GTM foundation that starts and accelerates the flywheel. We give you the people, the evidence, and our ranking, so the decision is easier to make.

30 yrs

Deep FinTech and AI experience

Our collective 30 years in FinTech and AI means we understand your product, your buyers, and the sales cycles that come with selling technology into regulated institutions.

Candidates vetted thoroughly

We interview for real buyer fluency, test the story behind each resume, and confirm compensation expectations and stage fit before anyone reaches your calendar.

A ranked list, not a pile

You receive a short list in ranked order with our reasoning for each position. You can start with the strongest fit and see exactly why we placed them there.

For FinTech companies

The problem with a generalist AE

Most FinTech companies hiring their first AEs choose between a generalist SaaS seller who has to learn financial institution buying cycles from scratch, or a slow, costly search that leaves the seat empty. Banks, credit unions, wealth managers, and insurers bring compliance review, multiple stakeholders, and long procurement cycles. An AE who has never sold into that environment spends the first two quarters learning it on your pipeline.

What we do differently

  • Contingency search for individual AE roles. You pay only when you hire.
  • Retained search for sales leadership, where a wrong choice costs the most.
  • Direct sourcing through an established network, so you meet people who are not answering every recruiter's message.
  • Full attention on your search until it is filled.

Who we work with best

We are built for FinTech, WealthTech, and InsureTech companies that have raised roughly $5M to $100M, the stage where the first AE hires either build a repeatable sales motion or help you scale and refine one.

We will match your urgency, knowing the opportunity costs of both an empty seat and a seat with the wrong person in it.

How every search runs

Five steps from job description to signed offer

A proven process that gets results and uses your time well

  1. Align on Job Description, Hiring Process, and Timing

    We work through the buyer profile, compensation and quota, your interview stages, and the date you need someone in the seat.

  2. Source, Screen, and Present Candidates

    We source directly, screen each candidate thoroughly, and present them to you as a ranked list with our notes.

  3. Exchange Feedback and Confirm/Adjust as Needed

    After your first interviews we trade feedback, confirm the profile is right, and adjust the search where it needs it.

  4. Reference Checks on Finalists

    We check references on your finalists, so you make the decision with evidence from people who have worked alongside them.

  5. Negotiate Offer

    We manage the offer conversation with the candidate and with you, through to acceptance.

For sales professionals

If you are a proven FinTech AE, there is a FinTech company that needs you

We work with Account Executives and sales leaders who have built real credibility with financial institution buyers, and connect them with companies that need exactly that. Your fluency with a slow, risk-averse, compliance-driven buyer is easy to miss on a resume, and easy for an applicant tracking system to filter out. We make sure the right person sees it.

Who we work with

  • AEs and sales leaders selling into banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions.
  • People with real relationships across compliance, risk, and procurement, beyond a single champion.
  • Sellers who want their next role to use what they know about this buyer.

What working with us looks like

  • Confidential conversations with no pressure to take the first open role.
  • Direct introductions to the hiring leader, with no resume lost in a portal.
  • Roles vetted first. We check comp structure, quota design, and stage fit before you speak with the company.
  • No cost to you. The hiring company always pays our fee.
