David has placed engineering leadership and specialists at growing SaaS and healthcare AI companies.
A generalist tech recruiter and a firm that actually understands SaaS engineering are not interchangeable. The difference shows up fast once a search starts.
See what mattersSaaS engineering roles are shaped by product velocity and cross-functional pressure in a way that's different from, say, an internal IT team.
A candidate who built for 10,000 users isn't automatically qualified to build for 10 million. A firm that can't tell the difference will waste your time.
Growing SaaS companies can't run a 3-month executive-search-style timeline for every hire. The firm's process needs to match your urgency.
Ask for specific examples, not a generic "we work with tech companies" answer.
Some firms specialize in large enterprise engineering orgs, with search timelines and processes built for that world. Dropped into a fast-moving SaaS company, that same process feels slow and overbuilt. Match the firm's operating speed to your own, not just their sector claim.
A firm built for enterprise timelines will feel slow at a SaaS company, no matter how good their candidates are. Speed has to match the business.
