Our extensive experience working with tech and cloud companies gives us a clear understanding of how partnerships and business development teams operate and what strong team fit looks like in practice. This helps us evaluate strategic talent more effectively and match them with companies where they’ll thrive.
We support a range of roles across partnerships, alliances, channel, and business development functions, including both relationship-focused and opportunity-driven roles. If you’re hiring for a specific role or building out a program, we can help define the position and identify candidates who align with your goals.
With over a decade of experience supporting tech clients, we specialize in identifying and placing candidates who are comfortable collaborating across technical teams and organizations. We look for candidates with a proven track record working in technical environments who understand those partner ecosystems and can adapt as priorities evolve.
Yes. We offer flexible contract staffing for short- and long-term needs, as well as direct hire recruiting for full-time roles. Whether you’re filling a short-term gap or building a long-term team, we can tailor our approach to fit your goals.
We’ve spent more than 10 years recruiting for roles across the tech industry, and we hire for our own creative agency as well. That gives us a nuanced understanding of the skills, team dynamics, and evolving tools that matter in partnerships and business development roles. Because we work closely with these teams every day, we’re able to assess candidates more effectively and align them to the needs of your organization.
Yes. We support leadership hiring across partnerships and business development functions. For leadership searches, we take a consultative approach, helping define the role, align on expectations, and identify candidates with the right mix of relationship management and strategic experience.
Once we’ve aligned on the role and requirements, we typically present a shortlist of vetted candidates within two to 10 days. Timelines can vary based on role complexity and your internal hiring process.
If a placed candidate leaves or is not a fit within the first 90 days, we’ll replace them at no additional cost. You’ll continue working with the same recruiter to ensure consistency and a smooth handoff.
All shortlisted candidates are phone screened by our experienced recruiters to confirm their skills, background, communication abilities, and fit for the role. Depending on the position, we may also review portfolios, request work samples, or use technical assessments to evaluate capabilities.
We take a thoughtful, proactive approach to building diverse teams. That includes writing inclusive job descriptions, sourcing from diverse candidate networks, and actively reviewing our process to reduce bias. We also build long-term relationships with professionals from underrepresented backgrounds to expand access and representation across our talent pool.
To kick off a search, we’ll need details about the role’s responsibilities, required experience, target compensation, and whether it’s remote, hybrid, or in-person. We also work to understand your team’s workflow, brand voice, and goals, because the more context we have, the better equipped we are to find the right fit.
