GTM Recruiter — Available Full Time

I want to race again.

10+ years building GTM teams at the fastest companies in cyber and SaaS.

Wiz. Splunk. Nutanix. Collibra. Hundreds of GTM hires.

Recruiting isn't a support function. It's a revenue function.

I'm Ashley S. I know what it feels like to be inside something that's changing an industry — where every hire matters and every week counts.

That's the environment I'm looking for next. A founding team that gives a damn. A mission worth pouring myself into. And I'm ready to go.

↳ The story

I started recruiting when LinkedIn was new and Boolean search was the move. Find the person, get them interested. I had that part down.

What nobody taught me was the close. The comp conversation. The offer strategy. The psychology of what actually makes a candidate say yes — and mean it.

I figured that out the hard way. And it changed everything.

At Wiz I got to do the best work of my career. A cybersecurity unicorn going from zero to $100M ARR in 18 months. 115+ GTM hires across sales, alliances, and solutions engineering in the US and EMEA. The kind of pace where you either learn to move fast or get left behind.

I learned to move fast.

Since then I've been building — fractionally, contractually, across companies that needed someone to come in, figure out what was broken, and fix it. I've loved that work.

And I'm ready for something more permanent. Something I can pour myself into. A team I can grow with.

I want the race back.

03 — Philosophy

Recruiting is sales. Full stop.

Your AEs run on a methodology. They qualify, identify pain, map the decision, and close with intention. Your recruiting team should operate exactly the same way.

I run searches on MEDDPICC — the qualification framework the best enterprise sales orgs in the world use.

  • 01

    Metrics

    what success looks like and how we measure it

  • 02

    Economic Buyer

    who makes the decision and what they care about

  • 03

    Decision Criteria

    what the ideal candidate actually looks like

  • 04

    Decision Process

    the steps, the people, the speed

  • 05

    Paper Process

    where offers go wrong — and how to land them

  • 06

    Identify Pain

    what this hire is solving and why now

  • 07

    Champion

    who inside is advocating and helping me close

  • 08

    Competition

    who else they're talking to and what we're up against

04 — What I bring

Process. Pipeline. Close.

01

Process

Broken interview loops. JDs that lie. Panels that can't align. Rubrics with no human in them. I audit what's broken, fix it, and build something that scales — so your team stops losing candidates to your own chaos.

02

Pipeline

Dry candidate pools. Over-reliance on inbound. No outbound strategy. I build ICPs, competitor maps, and hidden talent pools. Outbound sourcing, video outreach, and finding the people who aren't looking but should be talking to you.

03

Close

Offers going dark. Candidates ghosting. Nobody taught the recruiting team how to actually close. I bring the same discipline to closing candidates that your best AE brings to closing a deal — because that's exactly what it is.

05 — What I'm looking for

Full time. Embedded. All in.

A cybersecurity or SaaS company — Series A to C — where recruiting is treated like the revenue function it actually is.

Where the founding team gives a damn about who they bring in. Where speed matters and the work is real. I want a seat at the table — not just a req list. I want to build the pipeline, own the process, tell the story, and close the candidates that move the business forward.

06 — Let's talk

If this sounds like your company, I'd love to talk.

I'm not looking for a req list. I'm looking for a mission.
