Paddle, a global FinTech company, was looking to expand into the US market. To build out their US sales team, they enlisted the help of Captivate Talent to provide their expertise from helping over 50 startups in 5 years expand into the US.
After helping Paddle hire an RVP of Americas as their first US sales hire, Captivate Talent proceeded to help Paddle hire additional AEs and SDRs.
As a result of these hires, Paddle has successfully expanded into the US and raised an additional $200M in Series D funding.
"We chose to work with Captivate Talent following a detailed selection process for what was one of top 3 hires as a company in 2021. We needed an amazing US RVP to lead Paddle's growth in the Americas. From first conversation until today, Captivate Talent has been a very strong partner. Great local expertise, great communications to candidates and client, super responsive. Coached both sides thru a successful search to land a wonderful leader."
The partnership between Captivate Talent and Paddle was a success. With their help, Paddle was able to quickly and efficiently hire an RVP of Americas, build out a US sales team, and expand into the US market.
This ultimately led to Paddle raising an additional $200M in Series D funding. Captivate Talent's revenue-focused talent network, local expertise, and guidance on budget allowed Paddle to make successful hires and continues to be an invaluable partner.
Paddle was looking to hire a Director of Sales, but they needed help determining if that was the right role, finding local expertise and recruiting candidates in the US.
Without an established network or understanding of the right questions to ask, Paddle needed to find a US-based recruiting firm experienced in helping EMEA companies with their hiring needs.
Captivate Talent provided Paddle with an effective solution that allowed them to quickly find the right candidate for their RVP of Americas role.
Captivate Talent's thorough scoping enabled them to identify the proper budget and experience level needed to bring the product into a new market.
They worked closely with Paddle leadership to source 8 qualified candidates within the first 7 days, giving Paddle the confidence they needed to make the hire.
"I loved working with Recruiter Kelsey Mooney - she was helpful and to the point. Every conversation was productive. I recommend Captivate and am very happy with how quick and profitable the process turned out to be for me personally."
