The Challenge

  • Early stage startup was looking for a true client success leader with niche experience in the SaaS world, without the budget to compete with the local Chicago market on compensation.

  • Required daily commutes to the office which differed from the norm of remote or hybrid models.

  • The position was posted on the client’s website career page and popular job boards for months (ie. Monster, Indeed, etc.) with subpar results.

  • The lengthy interview process presented challenges with keeping talent engaged until the conclusion of the interview process.

Our Solution

  • Summit Search Consultants canvased both the Chicago local market as well as diasporic talent with the desired skillset and cultural fit.

  • SSC deployed a true headhunting effort that included after-hours calls as many of these candidates could not spare the time during working hours to discuss new opportunities.

  • 10 of the 30 candidates submitted were chosen as finalists.

  • Director of Client Success who was placed is still with this company, 3.5 years later post-acquisition.
