Hiring is Too Important to Be Left to Traditional Recruiters
No one loves calling a recruiter for help. Search firms are often transactional – there when your checkbook is out and gone when you put it away. Some mindlessly push candidate volume through the funnel to get their fee.
We believe it doesn’t have to be this way, so we built
an alternative to traditional recruiters.
Too often, search firms:
- Lack operational experience
- Don’t tie talent strategy to growth goals
- Substitute junior team for senior recruiters
- Sacrifice expertise to work on any role
- Lack a transparent, structured process
- Move on after the offer letter is signed
“Growth Through People”
is Our New Model for Talent Strategy
Hiring the right people requires a blend of relationships with high-quality people and the operational experience to know what’s needed for success. RevelOne combines specialized talent leaders with functional operators to help clients hire the best talent to drive growth and support their first-year success.
Built for Operators, by Operators
Our experience building and managing go-to-market teams ourselves helps us understand first-hand what is required for success.
Go-To-Market Specialization
By focusing only on GTM roles, we have deep pattern recognition of what works for roles within those functions at each stage of a company’s growth.
Supporting Success from Objectives Defined to Delivered
Only RevelOne helps clients from defining the role’s objectives through the first year they are delivered. We support our hires with strategic advice, access to SMEs, and the resources required for success.
Practitioner-Led
We’ve built a senior team of talent professionals who run their searches themselves and don't hand them off to junior people. We also cap the roles per recruiter so each role can be executed with the highest quality.
We Started RevelOne to Be the Partner We Wish We Had
When we were operators, we had mixed results working with recruiters who did not truly understand our business and the nuanced skills required to hire the right GTM talent.
This limited their ability to pitch top talent effectively and led to wasted time talking to candidates who missed the mark. Many recruiters had limited, out-of-date networks and a black box approach, which made it harder to understand the process and the market and how to adapt to a competitive search.
We’ve also been on the other side of the table as candidates, with recruiters reaching out with irrelevant roles and “selling” us on opportunities that weren’t a fit and might be career missteps.
We were passionate about building a new kind of talent firm that could help leaders and talent reach their fullest potential.
Since our founding, we’ve continuously evolved RevelOne to support the growth of our clients as a strategic GTM talent partner.
