We are in the process of growing our sales organization and Candidate Labs is helping us identify, pursue and lock in the best talent on the market. They calibrate strongly, screen hundreds of candidates for you, and save a lot of time in the process.
Candidate Labs takes the time to build an extensive understanding of several elements that are critical to finding the right fit in a new sales leader: the company, our product, our culture, our core areas of differentiation, our target market segments, and our buyer personas.
They went above and beyond throughout each cycle - from listening to my criteria and matching them with clear "whys" behind the recommendations, assisting in scheduling and preparation, staying on top of feedback, and ultimately being transparent and a partner.
Companies should look to Candidate Labs as they draw in quality talent, candidates can expect a phenomenal experience.
Every candidate they sent us was hire-able and on the mark. We hired a great CRO in less than 60 days from start to finish. With any other firm, this search would have taken six months.
Hiring this person four months earlier means ramping sales sooner, which has a compounding effect as we grow exponentially.
We engaged candidate labs on a VP of Marketing role at a series A startup. We really needed a complex combination of skills and needed help. They were able to quickly calibrate, build a pipeline, refine the search, and find us a group of finalists that gave us multiple options.
The team is one of the most methodical, organized, and strategic I've seen. We were able to have them drive the process so we could focus on the candidates. Even the onboarding experience was simple and fast.
Candidate Labs successfully filled multiple marketing roles in our company. The market is extremely competitive for these roles but they were able to laser in on the best candidates very quickly.
The team was super thorough in terms of understanding what we were looking for. They were proactive and responsive in their communications and provided feedback both to candidates and employers to make sure everyone was getting the information they needed.
Saved us time with an efficient process and great outcome. Our marketing hire is immediately making a strong impact. New hire has ramped up extremely quickly and is delivering value immediately.
Candidate Labs was able to quickly hone in on strong profiles for our CSM team resulting in over 5 placements in a window of just a couple of months.
Not only was the volume great, but the quality was fantastic.
They took a much more hands-on role in driving the overall process than other recruiters we worked with, soliciting feedback from both the hiring manager and candidate promptly at each stage, sharing updates on the candidate's timeline with other opportunities and competing offers, and ensuring candidates were closed in advance of offer extension
I used Candidate Labs to recruit multiple new employees to my Customer Success team. I have worked with more than a dozen recruiting firms over the course of my career, and Candidate Labs stands out for their thorough and comprehensive process.
Let me make the point that an intelligent and diligent team is table stakes, and Candidate Labs certainly has that. Truly all the individuals I worked with were best-in-class.
The Candidate Labs team used a consultative process throughout the entire search. It felt like they were part of our own team and had our best interests outlined. It was truly a partnership and they provided awesome candidates along with great feedback. After refining our search they were able to over-deliver on incredible candidates.
