Go-to-Market Recruiting, Built by Operators Who’ve Done It

Accelerate HC is a boutique recruiting firm that specializes in placing go-to-market talent for B2B SaaS and ad-supported media businesses. We’re not career recruiters; we’re former founders and operators who’ve built and scaled revenue teams ourselves. That experience shapes everything: how we define the role, where we source candidates, and how we evaluate fit.

From SDR’s and Account Executives to VPs of Sales and CRO’s, we recruit across the entire GTM function. Whether you’re building your first sales team after a Series A or adding senior leadership to scale, we bring the market knowledge, network, and process to get it right.

How We Operate

For each search, Accelerate HC builds an ICP (Ideal Candidate Profile) in collaboration with your team.

AHC’s success is built on a unique and proprietary recruitment process called the AHC COMBINE®.

While not limited to it, we specialize in GTM roles for B2B SaaS and Media (ad supported) businesses.

Our leadership team is comprised of veteran business builders who have launched successful businesses.

The ICP

Pre-Launch

We do the hard work up front, through an extensive collaboration with your team, to create an ICP (Ideal Candidate Profile) for each position. This is the foundation for our proprietary search process. A complete, well developed ICP accelerates the hiring cycle and delivers highly qualified talent to your organization.

Building the Profile

The Ideal Candidate Profile… is built through our deep understanding of your organization, your goals and how your organization is structured. It “takes a second” to get there, but when we do the results are profound. Essentially our process centers on this all important first step.

Next | To the Combine...

ICP development makes up the initial component, the PRE-LAUNCH, of our recruiting system we call THE AHC COMBINE®.

The AHC COMBINE®

PRE-LAUNCH We spend important time with you. And we translate, interpret, come to a full understanding, together, of what your company needs. The result is your ICP (Ideal Candidate Profile). Given our experience and market knowledge, we are also able to suggest what’s realistic based on your company’s stage, reputation, needs and budget.
SEARCH LAUNCH: By invitation only… we scour our network and other data sources to find the “right” candidates that match your ICP. Many times, it can take 50-100 candidates to find YOUR ICP.
SCREENING: Assessment of Skills, Fit, etc. We do this through a series of Interviews and Evaluations. After reviewing each prospect’s “draft stock,” our senior team weighs in on each candidate you see.
CANDIDATE SUBMISSIONS: Each submission comes with specific information as to how the candidate matches to your ICP criteria. Each search is different, but we strive to have 3 Candidates within 2-3 weeks. This is the “acid test.” Did we get it right? Do we need to re-consider any aspects of the ICP.
OPTIMIZE: Based on the results of the initial submissions, we tweak our approach and typically have YOUR candidate within another 2-3 weeks. So, total of 4-6 weeks to have the finalist.
COORDINATION: We are hands on, we organize the interviews, work candidates through your system, manage the process.
MOVE TO HIRE: The optimal candidate at an appropriate price.

This proprietary process takes advantage of our more than 30 years in building businesses combined with placing over a thousand candidates.
