SaaS hiring in India
SaaS and IT services companies are where our screening method was built. In a small product team, one wrong hire is felt by everyone.
The SaaS roles we hire for
A SaaS company needs people who build the product, people who sell it and people who keep customers. Each needs a different kind of check.
Engineering
Backend, frontend, full-stack, DevOps and QA. We test how a candidate reasons through a problem, not only which tools are on the CV.
Product and design
Product managers, UX and UI designers. We ask what they decided, what they dropped, and why.
Sales
Sales development reps and account executives. We check which numbers were their own and how they were reached.
Customer success and implementation
The people who keep customers after the sale. We look for clear thinking with a customer who is unhappy.
