We Headhunt Sales Professionals Who Aren't Looking
We only approach passive candidates - people performing well, with strong tenure at reputable companies. We reach them through direct headhunting, because the best salespeople rarely apply to anything.
Our core specialism. SDR, BDR, AE, Account Manager, and Account Director roles - headhunted from passive candidates, not job board applicants.
Sales Leadership
VP of Sales, Director of Sales, and CRO-level search for companies scaling their commercial leadership - same direct headhunting approach.
Customer Success & Marketing
For existing clients, we extend our search to the CS and marketing roles alongside your sales team - same rigour, no afterthought.
OUR 6-STEP SYSTEM
SGS Sales Connect™
1. Blueprint & Calibration
Define outcomes, role scorecard, decision makers, timeline, and hiring bar. Agree SLAs and the reporting cadence.
2. Market Intelligence & Map
Target companies, competitor analysis, comp benchmarking, and quota structures. Build a long-list of off-market, currently-performing sales professionals across the relevant geo.
3. Direct Headhunt & Attract
Senior, personalised outreach with EVP positioning and role collateral. Multi-touch engagement to convert passive candidates.
4. Structured Evaluation
Video interviews, sales capability & culture scorecards, and verified reference checks on quota attainment and tenure - so evidence replaces opinion.
5. Decision-Ready Shortlist
3-5 SGS Profiles with quota history, achievements, risk flags, compensation expectations, and side-by-side comparators for swift, confident decisions.
6. Offer, Onboarding & Post-Hire
Close the right hire with benchmarking and stakeholder management. 30/60/90-day touchpoints to support ramp-to-quota and retention.
OUR DELIVERY
Delivery Built for Sales Hiring, Not Generic Process
Most agencies run every search through one generalist juggling six roles at once. We split delivery three ways. • Source & Match. A dedicated specialist builds your off-market longlist against a real scorecard, not a keyword search. • Call & Filter. A separate specialist runs structured screening calls and reference checks before anyone reaches your shortlist. • Make the Placement. A senior lead owns the second interview, offer, negotiation, and onboarding - closing your hire is their only job that week.
I had the pleasure of working with Ravi on multiple recruitment initiatives, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Ravi has a deep understanding of the demand generation market, showcasing an unparalleled ability to identify and connect with top talent. Ravi consistently goes above and beyond to source candidates who not only possess the necessary skills but also align with S2W's culture.
What really sets him apart is that is the client-centric approach and remarkable flexibility. If you are seeking a recruiter who not only understands the details of the demand generation market but also prioritises client satisfaction, Ravi is the professional you can trust to deliver exceptional results.

I would't hesitate in recommending SGS when it comes to recruitment. Working with SGS was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning of the process he was both transparent and informative and always made me feel I was his main priority. If you're looking at new roles or even just scoping out the market. I would most definitely recommend dropping him a line!

I cannot speak highly enough of Ravi! From the moment we first spoke, Ravi has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I always felt that Ravi had my best interests at heart and he took a consultative and methodical approach to the recruitment process. Communication was always clear, concise, accurate and timely, and Ravi consistently made it clear that the decision I made had to be the right one for me, regardless of the outcome of the process. He was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, gave sound advice and was just a joy to speak to at every step of the process. If you're looking to change jobs/make a move, you can't go wrong by reaching out to Ravi and collaborating with him! Highly recommended!

Kel Lagaj
Enterprise Solutions Director
AMAZING!! 100% recommend working with Ravi. We had a call about what was going on at work, what the next steps are, other roles and all sorts. Day or two later....interview and another one day after that. No messing about. Finished the call and we got on so well, we're going to meet up when we are in town next. A proper listener, someone who cares about you rather than being a number. Thanks mate!
Harry Michael
Account Director
Ravi was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the experience simple and was very knowledgeable about the process. He was professional and personable. Not once did I feel like I was in the unknown through out the process. He communicated well and succinctly. I would work with him again without any hesitation!
