Everything from entry-level SDR through CRO, across the full GTM function.

How we work
How does Timberseed run a SaaS hiring search?
In four steps: understand the brief properly, work our 30,000+ network directly, present three CVs, then stay involved through to start date.
01
Brief us properly
We go beyond the job spec. We want to understand your GTM motion, your culture, and the exact profile that thrives in your sales environment.
02
We work our network
With 30,000+ GTM professionals in our network, we don't post and pray. We identify, approach, and qualify the right people for your specific brief.
03
You meet people you want to hire
Three CVs per placement. Every candidate we put forward is considered: a shortlist you'll hire from, not 100 speculative applications.
04
We see it through
From offer management to onboarding, we stay involved until your new hire is in seat and performing.
Why Timberseed
Why use Timberseed instead of a generalist recruiter?
We recruit exclusively for SaaS GTM, so every shortlist comes from real category expertise, not a general candidate pool.
Shortlists you'll actually hire from
Three CVs per placement isn't an accident. We qualify hard before we send anyone forward: a shortlist you'll hire from, not 100 speculative applications.
We screen for what predicts performance
Skills can be taught. The drive, resilience, and commercial instinct that make GTM hires succeed cannot. We assess for the things that matter, including how we screen Account Executives.
Speed without shortcuts
10 days average, brief to offer accepted, for SDR and entry-level hires. Our network depth means we move quickly, without compromising on the quality of who we put in front of you.
