In addition to sourcing talent with the appropriate skill-set, I’ve found it helps to recruit folks who understand and speak “SaaS” and “platform”. These hires understand multi-sided markets and how they differ from traditional SaaS companies.

While I’m not a “headhunter”, I almost always end up helping my clients define what they need in terms of talent, build job descriptions, compensation plans, and build a pipeline of candidates with experience in:

• Supply Chain
• Marketplaces and Platforms
• Payments and Finance
• Sourcing and Procurement
• Enterprise Sales

For many of my clients, I use my network to help source candidates directly, or will help their Startup recruiting or SaaS recruiting specialist identify and vet candidates.
