Hollie Robinson

Head of Sales at ConCntric

65 DAYS TO PLACEMENT

“By the time I called Kraig, I'd stopped trusting my own instincts on sales hires. Bearhug was the best recruiting experience of my career. My whole team landed on the same choice, and I have total confidence in the leader we hired. If you're a founder facing a hire you can't afford to get wrong, call them.”

By the time a candidate reaches the slate, our team has usually spent 3 to 5+ hours with them across several calls, and they've often put in 2 to 3x that on their own, researching your company and working through the exercises we give them and ones they set themselves. Each one is vetted against your Blueprint's Competencies and DNA, and we only put forward people we stand behind and feel are worth your time to meet.
