Cultural Fit at the Core of Every Hire
True performance is not just about quota or KPIs; it is about alignment. A candidate may have impressive experience, but without the right mindset and values, even top talent can underperform.
We are designed to be a flexible, powerful extension of your own team. For companies with an established Talent Acquisition function, we act as a specialised GTM search partner, bringing a level of network access and market intelligence that perfectly complements your internal efforts. For companies without a dedicated TA team, we provide both short-term and long-term solutions, acting as your embedded GTM hiring function.
In either model, our deep focus on cultural fit ensures you are not just filling a seat, but building a cohesive, high-retention GTM engine that becomes a core part of your company’s identity.

Whether you’re expanding globally or hiring your first regional leader, we deliver across every hiring model – combining pace, precision, and SaaS market insight.
Retained search & strategic hiring
For business-critical hires, retained search provides focus, depth, and precision. We partner closely with leadership teams to define role impact, align on growth goals, and deliver senior GTM talent that drives long-term commercial results. This approach is ideal for strategic SaaS hiring where quality, discretion, and speed all matter. Strong Search has 100% delivery record on all retained projects.
Contingent, exclusive search
Our contingent and exclusive search models deliver fast access to high-calibre GTM talent; without compromising quality. Leveraging modern search technology and deep SaaS networks, we move quickly to surface sales, presales, customer success, and marketing professionals who are ready to perform from day one.
Team builds & market expansions
Scaling a new region or building a GTM function requires more than individual hires, it demands a coordinated hiring strategy. We support SaaS companies through multi-hire projects, ensuring consistent talent quality, aligned messaging, and rapid execution as you enter new markets or accelerate growth. 100% placement retention matters in these situations.

Trusted Partners for Global SaaS Hiring
I’ve worked with Andy for nearly 15 years, across multiple companies and stages of growth. He first hired me into Emptoris, and later brought me into Coupa as their first sales hire in mainland Europe. By the time I left, I was running the most successful region globally – and Andy and his team had helped me build high-performing GTM teams from the ground up across all major European markets.
