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.

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.

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.

Robyn - Manager Creator Support Tia 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).

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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! Her relationship-building, along with her charismatic persona, allows her to instantly create a level of trust and rapport that will enable me to provide her with the insights that she needs to get the job done. The level of experience and presence Brooke brings to the conversation is beyond first-class. The best thing about working with Captivate Talent is that they are a people-first business. They empathize with what people are doing and quickly find tangible solutions to help them better their situation. I'd recommend anyone to work with Captivate Talent because of the way they conduct interactions with both the candidate and the companies they're partnering with! This is a top-tier talent firm and they'll find you what you're looking for!

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 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.

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.

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

- 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.

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 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!

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.
