Hundreds of Growing Startups Trust Captivate Talent for Revenue Talent Recruiting

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.

Robyn - Manager Creator SupportTia at captive talent connected with me via LinkedIn about a role she thought I’d be interested in. It was such a good fit that I left the company I had been working with for over 5 years to start a new role in a growing startup. Tia was really on top of things. She was always checking in to make sure I was feeling ready for any interviews and following up to see how I felt after as well. She made sure to give me all the information available so I was well prepared and fully informed along the way. Tia Cianflone worked with me and she made the whole process stress free (or the least stressed you can be while interviewing haha).

My name is Dustin Lindley, I am a national channel manager at ZOLL Data Systems. Captive Talent helped connect me with Zoll. The best thing about Captive Talent was working with Emily Pizza I would not have connected with ZOLL without her help.I worked with Emily Pizza

Captivate Talent has become a trusted partner and true extension of our business. Our success is an outcome of the talent we have.In the past year, we’ve doubled the size of our US team and much of that is attributed to Captivate Talent.

Adam, BDR at Paddle. I was so thrilled with Tia and Michael who helped me land an amazing role at Paddle! The best part was truly them setting me up to succeed in my interviews. I was basically given the answers to the test before I went in, truly a game changer for anyone looking to land at a legit company.

I'm Zach and I'm an SDR at Abacum.Tia Cianflone reached out on LinkedIn and I couldn't be happier. Tia listened to my preferences and delivered a list of companies she'd be able to set up an interview for. Within two weeks I was hired at a Saas FinTech start up out of school. I'm very impressed with Tia and Brooke's work on helping me land this roleSolid recuriters with solid contacts.

I was introduced to Captivate Talent after working with a few agencies that were not delivering the right type of candidates we were looking for.Our search had very specific criteria. The Captivate team went above and beyond to deliver candidates that perfectly aligned.

Working with Brooke at Captivate was a breeze! From the moment she reached out I knew she’d be amazing to work with. At each stage, Brooke made sure I had all my questions answered and ducks in a row. Career changes can have a lot of moving pieces, but Brooke always made sure I had every detail of information I needed to make the best decision. I accepted an incredible offer as a Sales Manager with an incredible company. This was a great experience!

Casey Erickson was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend. Thanks so much Casey!

We knew the [job] requirements, but the profile was hazy. Captivate’s background in early stage hires helped shape the job description and offering. We ended up targeting candidates that were able to be more hands on, because that’s truly needed and defining that early on with Captivate was a huge plus.

Despite being new to sales and the world of SaaS, the team at Captivate Talent was there for me through every step of the process- from resume review to mock cold calls all the way up to the offer stage. Because of the hard work at CT I accepted an offer at my top-ranked company and they’re the first place I’d go when considering a new role or opportunity!

It is no secret that the job market has taken a hit and become extremely challenging, especially in tech. After months of unsuccessful interviews and experiencing ghosting from recruiters, I was beginning to lose hope. That is when Emily from Captivate Talent reached out to me. Working with Emily was a breath of fresh air in a very arduous situation. Emily showed great attentiveness to my preferences for my next role and worked closely with me throughout the entire interview process. I was in constant contact with Emily, and whether I had a question or concern, she provided the answers I needed right away. I cannot recommend working with this team enough. If you do get the chance to work with Emily, you are in luck! Her exceptional communication skills, industry knowledge, and dedication make her an invaluable partner in navigating the job market.

Working with Captivate Talent to take the next step in my career progression was a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the outset they did a fantastic job of presenting me with opportunities that aligned with my expectations and complimented my skill sets and prior experience.They worked with me throughout all stages of the hiring process, providing a white glove experience with pre-interview check-ins and follow ups after every interview with the prospective employer, and excelled in making sure that both parties were aligned.I can say with confidence that they have restored my faith in external recruiters and headhunters.

When stars align in your career, it's important to reflect on the effort which preceded you walking through that next door. I'm grateful for Amanda Most, Taylor Belote, and the Captivate Talent team for helping lead me through the process to join an incredible company in Krisp.

Michael Pirozzi at Captive Talent reached out via LinkedIn about the Territory Manager Opportunity. Before we even talked about the role Michael took the time to get to know me personally and what was important to me not only professionally but also personal.He set me up for two interviews and was very attentive and on top of my thoughts and comfort level in my next career move. After my Interview with Lovingly I felt extremely excited to join the team. My onboarding process was easy and Michael was amazing.

I've worked with/ known Captivate Talent for 3 years now. The Captivate Talent team is truly a pleasure to work with filled with professionals who are tapped into this industry. The career openings that they usually have are ones that you won't just find on LinkedIn.... they are some of the better roles you find in the tech industry with some incredible growth stage companies. I would highly recommend getting to know the Captivate group and staying in touch with them, regardless of the stage you are in your career. They are great to work with and even better people to get to know.

My name is Chris, and I've worked in B2B SaaS Sales for eight years.Brooke Artz has been the most remarkable recruiter I've worked with in my entire career. She is humanistic, she follows through at a reasonable timeframe, and, more importantly, she cares! Brooke goes above and beyond to understand the needs of a candidate diligently and matches them to exceptional opportunities. I would give Brooke 10/10 stars!

My name is Maria Gonzalez, I am the Campaign Manager at Firefly. Tia Cianflone demonstrated a keen understanding of my skills and experience, as well as my career goals. She provided suitable options, guided me through the recruitment process. Tia provided regular updates, invaluable feedback, and constructive criticism, which enabled me to refine my approach and secure the job I wanted at Firefly. I have no hesitation in recommending Tia to anyone seeking a marketing career in the Saas industry. Thanks to Tia's support and guidance, I am now embarking on an exciting new career at Firefly, and I couldn't be happier. I am immensely grateful for her hard work and dedication and would recommend her without hesitation!

Captivate's commitment to understanding our company and getting us what we were asking for was the biggest difference maker in this experience. Captivate has been instrumental in our growth. The hires we got from them have helped us secure multiple full-scale enterprise deals.

Emily (and Chris) have been working with Plexus for the past 3+ months to help support our fast-growing commercial function. The team at Captivate helped us source a really high-quality candidate in record time. What was most impressive was their attention to detail and placing importance on my time as the client. They correctly scoped the role, brought great candidates, and shepherded the process through to completion. Thank you Emily.

Captivate Talent took a huge burden off our shoulders during our US expansion. They filled our new office with superb talent but provided much more.They advised us on everything US-set up related from payroll to legal to office locations to restaurants, and much more.

I felt like the search was going to be a win when we delivered the 2nd and 3rd rounds of feedback to the Captivate team. They came back with a further refined candidate list that matched the feedback that we gave them. We knew that a) the candidates were available, b ) Captivate would get them, and c) that we had a good working relationship with this team and would be successful.

Lacee Ciné| Head of Client SuccessCarolyn and Amanda reached out to me via linkedin based on my profile and a few roles that they had that fit my background and skills. Upon reviewing the opportunities they provided to me one of the companies really stood out. After researching the organization and working with Carolyn on my questions her and Amanda submitted my resume to the Idomoo team, and the rest is history. I absolutely loved working with the Captivate team, they communicate clearly, kept me updated on all the steps in the process, and gave me feedback during the entire interview cycle. They were very informed on the company and their culture and made me feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. Carolyn and Amanda are wonderful and I would absolutely recommend working with them if you're looking for a new opportunity.

My name is Sam and I have been working in sales for over 8 years now. I recently was looking to move to a new company that was NYC hybrid. Emily was so amazing throughout the entire process! She helped me prep for my interviews, gave me a ton of background knowledge on each of the players I met with and constantly kept me updated during the entire interview process. It was so great working with her and the Captivate Team and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new sales role!

I’m Kamarin and I’m an enterprise account executive! Brooke at Captive was such a pleasure to work with when finding my new job. She really listened to my needs and made the “job hunt” process so enjoyable. I loved all the follow up and was very impressed by the professionalism there.

Emily Pizza, Tia Cianflone, and the team at Captivate Talent are absolute units and have put me in front of some really wild opportunities in SaaS.

Captivate Talent communicated seamlessly with us throughout the hiring process. With their help in reviewing candidate profiles and discussing pros and cons, we found the perfect fit for our needs. The quality of candidates they provided positively influenced our decision-making process.

My name is Melinda & I'm a CSM ("hiii, Melinda!"). Captivate recruiter Jenny Nisler reached out to me via LinkedIn about a potential opportunity, and I couldn't be happier that she did. Not only is the role a great fit for my interests, working with Jenny as a recruiter was super - from the up front information she provided to the really thoughtful personal touches. If I ever want to consider another role, I hope to work with her again (or someone she's trained!)

From the outset, your team was impressively quick—quick to grasp the nuances of the role we needed to fill, quick to understand our company culture, and quick to recognize what we were looking for in a candidate. But it didn’t stop at quickness; you found us a superstar who not only comes from the industry but is also a perfect fit culturally. Most importantly, she is outstanding in her role.Kudos to the whole team for their exceptional work!

Casey at Captivate Talent was a true partner true the hiring process. She was great to communicate with, supportive, and did an excellent job understanding what type of role would be a fit (almost better than I did myself!). Could not recommend Casey and Captive Talent enough.

Working with Tia, Brooke, & Amanda was a breeze. I told them exactly what I was looking for and they found the perfect position for me. They made sure I was prepped for every interview & followed up after each one. Would highly recommend working with them!

We chose to work with Captivate Talent following a detailed selection process for what was one of top 3 hires as a company in 2020. 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.

From my first initial conversation, to every stage of the interview process, Tia ensured I was kept informed each step of the way. Tia took the time out of her day to schedule a call with me and helped me prep before my interview to make sure I was successful moving forward. Having worked with multiple recruiters in the past, I can confidently say that Tia is experienced, knowledgeable and among the best at what she does.

I had a great experience working with Captivate Talent and Kelsey Mooney was very supportive during the process. She is very knowledgeable and always following up so everyone is on the same page.

Jared Hufferd, Global Head of SalesThe Captivate team not only introduced me to the opportunity that was the right fit, they constantly assured constant communication and follow up on all action items. They were contant professionals. I highly recommend them for both companies looking for talent and candidates that want to be in the right position for success. Leslie and Casey are an amazing resource.

I worked directly with Casey as she recruited me for my current role. It was an awesome experience - she was with the every step of the way, communicating effectively and frequently with both parties to ensure there was alignment, clear expectations and clarity throughout the process. Grateful to Casey and the Captivate team for helping me navigate the process and land on a wonderful team.

My name is Louis Abate and I head up Marketing at RevSure.ai - an early-stage startup with some pretty incredible software that gives Marketing teams superpowers (intrigued? head over to our site to learn more) Kelsey Mooney at Captivate reached out to me in early spring via LinkedIn and pitched me this opportunity. Her intimate knowledge of the client, role, and industry was extremely impressive - and piqued my interest to learn more. After peppering her with questions - none of which she was unprepared for - I made my way through various conversations with the founder and ELT members. Along the way, Kelsey kept me updated via text, phone calls, and emails. She was always available, and we're talking from early morning to late at night.I've since interacted with other Captivate Talent team members and this crew is the real deal. Best experience I've had working with a talent acquisition agency and I look forward to working with them on the hiring side at some point soon.

Jenny helped me get the biggest break of my career so far at a tech company which has now been acquired by Adobe. Her calm approach to recruiting made me feel less anxious during the job application process, and I felt in the loop the whole time. I am forever grateful!

During the first round of interviews, it was clear that Captivate was presenting quality candidates.  

They understood the ask and knew the marketing qualifications, so we could spend more time focusing on further specific items related to culture and role.  

 We were so confident in Captivate’s candidates that we even tried to create a new role for the runner-up!

My name is Shari Flanders and I'm a Business Development Manager at Babbel. Captivate Talent helped me by connecting me with job that I love with an amazing company. The best thing about Captivate Talent has been how extremely dedicated and supportive my recruiter was throughout the entire process. I worked with Tia Cianflone and she helped me feel prepared, and communicated all updates in an extremely timely fashion. Even after I accepted my offer, Tia kept in touch. She has been a continued positive influence to my success, and I'm so grateful to her.

I've built out a niche in post-sales. Thanks to Emily Pizza, at Captivate, I am now the Founding Customer Success Manager at Tavus - a very cool generative AI startup. I have to give a giant recommendation to work with Ms. Pizza for all your recruiting needs. I was in the interview process for nearly six months. During that time I spoke with many many recruiters. I have never felt so supported from a recruiter until I started working with Emily. She helped me land a role that I was very excited about. She was very kind, responsive, caring, and determined to do everything she could to give me the best experience possible. Cannot thank her enough for her excellent attention to detail with her charismatic communication style.

After working in the fashion industry for 6 years I was ready to make a big change. Tia was with me every step of the way and I can’t thank her enough. She helped me prepare before each round of interviews and without her I would not have landed the SDR role at HHAeXchange. Not only was she incredibly helpful during the whole process but her personality made her so wonderful to work with. Anyone looking to break into the SaaS industry would be in great hands working with Tia!

My name is Dustin Katka and I am a Senior Enterprise SDR at Augury. Captivate Talent, and specifically Chris Gannon, has been instrumental in getting me to where I am in my career. Through an online community of sales professionals I had the opportunity to meet with Chris on a weekly basis to discuss my job search efforts and he lent his expertise in helping me find Augury. Chris helped me navigate finding a new job, something I hadn't had to do in over 15 years! I can honestly say I would not be where I am without Chris and Captivate Talent.The best thing about Chris and the Captivate Talent team is there willingness to go above and beyond. For several weeks I showed up to discuss my job search journey and every week Chris was there ready and willing to help me pivot and find the right path. Not only that, he used his own network to put me in touch with someone who eventually introduced me to the hiring manager at Augury...and the rest is history.To Chris Gannon and the Captivate Talent team: from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Jenny Chaffin / Director of Growth MarketingFound me the best fit job within my parameters and made the process seamless. It was very professional, informative, and had great follow up with both me and the company. There's a clear collaboration within the company because when one of my first prospects didn't work out, Kelsey introduced me to Casey and the rest was history. Kelsey Mooney first and then Casey Erickson.

As the Manager of People & Talent at SALUS, my role centers on securing top industry talent, a mission Captivate Talent greatly advanced by helping us find our new Chief Revenue Officer. What truly set Captivate Talent apart, under Casey’s leadership, was their commitment to deeply understanding our organization. They didn’t just seek to fill a position; they integrated with our team, ensuring a perfect match by engaging with our leaders and aligning candidates with our company’s vision and values.The process with Captivate was seamless and professional, marked by clear communication and expert guidance. Their approach—meticulous, personalized, and deeply ingrained in our business—resulted in not just a hire, but the right leader for SALUS. I wholeheartedly endorse Captivate Talent for their unmatched dedication and profound understanding of not just recruitment, but of fostering true partnership and success.

- I am a marketing executive with early stage experience, helping B2B tech companies scale their marketing teams, and drive GTM strategies. - Captivate Talent helped me find my current role at Nayya. - Captivate Talent is very thoughtful about what companies and candidates they recommend to each other. They have a strong understanding of the role requirements for GTM leadership positions, and they go the extra mile to understand a candidate's background. As a result all of my conversations with companies were really meaningful.

I was passively looking when Carolyn reached out to me about an interesting role. She listened, was attentive, and truly cared about my best interests. I haven't had many great experiences with recruiters, so this experience was head and shoulders above the rest. I'm still currently in that role and very happy with my decision.

My name is Eric Hijuelos and I'm Dandi's Account Executive. I would recommend working with Tia to anyone! Throughout my entire process, she gave me constant updates, helpful feedback, and prepped me for every interview. She was extremely knowledgable about every role/team opening and I knew I could count on her if I had any questions.Also, just an easy and kind person to talk to! She was the first to congratulate me on my offer and will still reach out asking how things are going.

My name is Riley Enright and I worked with Jenny Nisler back in May 2021 on finding a new position in sales with a SaaS company after being on the job market for awhile. Jenny made this process so quick and easy! She & her team at Captivate Talent helped me find companies that we thought could be a good fit and got the process started right away on interviews. I even had a last min interview set up in order to secure the job that Jenny made possible. Jenny was very responsive to any communication or questions I had throughout the process which helped me be comfortable making an important decision for my career. I've been in my sales role at Macorva for 8 months now and I couldn't be happier with the decision I made to join their team. I thank the Captivate Talent team everyday for helping me find an opportunity to help build my career!

Carolyn Estelle with Captivate Talent connected me with an outstanding opportunity. Carolyn's approach was data-driven yet personal and thoughtful. She truly cares about the people she is placing and the companies into which they're going. I have worked with several recruiters and my experience with Carolyn and Captivate Talent was exceptional.

The Captivate Talent team placed me in my current role as an Enterprise Sales Manager and now I am so lucky I get to continue working with them to find new talent to expand my team! They have been wonderful across initial hiring and checking in, to bringing me fantastic candidates to join my team and aligning experience thoughtfully. I primarily work with Amanda, but one of the best things about working with Captivate is that you get to work with the whole team. With such an expansive team full of brilliant recruiters, they've been key to our team's success as well as my personal success.

Captivate provided us with multiple strong B2B sales professionals and did a great job pitching our smaller company over other established businesses in a competitive market. Their communication throughout the process was excellent.I liked that they always followed up and followed up with candidates after we talked to them.

I think the variety of candidates that Captivate Talent sent helped a lot. I don’t know if we would’ve chosen the candidate we picked without seeing the other VP of Sales talent. Comparing the great candidates we saw throughout the process makes me confident that we followed the right steps to select a candidate that we strongly believe in.

I worked with Tyler, who I can honestly says was the best recruiter I have ever worked with. He was very attentive to my needs and walked me through every step of the process. He even helped me with negotiation tactics, something I have never been comfortable with. I’m so happy with the outcome and my new role.

Casey made contact with me on LinkedIn in November '22 with a few options to look into. Unlike other recruiters, Casey's true desire to help people became obvious. I was able to trust her description of the new opportunity without feeling rushed. I've been working to move from a senior manager to director for the last 4 years and after working with Casey, my goal was reached. Thank you very much to Casey and Captivate Talent for the connection. Lastly, I get regular updates from Casey about how the hiring manager for my role is feeling about my progress. This is very much appreciated.

I'm Shannon Rompala, the SDR Manager at Datagen. Brooke at Captivate Talent reached out to me late 2022 with the opportunity at Datagen and was my guide through the hiring process. Brooke was attentive, knowledgable, transparent, and super easy to work with. I was so pleased with my experience as a candidate that we hired Brooke and her team to help source candidates to work for me in my new role.
