Our Approach
Search Expertise Grounded In Sales and GTM Experience
We take a structured and commercially aware approach to search, shaped by practical sales and GTM experience and grounded in proven recruitment practice. Our aim is to give hiring teams and TA partners a clear, dependable way to identify, engage and secure talent who can succeed in their environment.
Every engagement begins with understanding how your teams sell, how decisions are made, and what strong performance genuinely requires in your motion. This creates the context needed to find aligned, high intent candidates and represent your opportunity credibly in a competitive market.
By aligning candidates to stage, sales motion, product complexity and pipeline realities, we help reduce hiring risk and improve predictability in early quarters. This supports faster ramp, stronger contribution and healthier long term performance.
We also work to reduce friction and strengthen collaboration between hiring managers, TA partners and candidates. When the right people meet the right environment, companies grow more smoothly and careers progress with confidence.
How Our Search Process Works
- Define: Clarity on what strong performance looks like in your motion and a clear Ideal Candidate Profile.
- Map: Market intelligence, competitive signals and strategic engagement with relevant talent pools.
- Engage: High trust conversations grounded in lived GTM experience, giving candidates a clearer view of what great opportunities look like.
- Evaluate: Balanced assessment of capability, mindset and stage fit through a practical sales leadership lens.
- Support: Practical guidance from first conversation through offer, onboarding and the early quarters where ramp and revenue matter most.
Our Mission & Philosophy
High Quality Hiring Is a Performance Multiplier
High quality hiring has a measurable influence on revenue performance. When capability aligns with the right environment, win rates rise, cycles shorten, retention strengthens, and revenue becomes more predictable. Strong hiring decisions also support healthier teams, smoother collaboration, and long term growth.
AscendX was built around this belief, and the meaning behind our name reflects the values that guide how we work.
Ascend represents raising performance standards and creating upward progression.
X represents the multiplier created when strong talent and the right environments come together.
Associates signifies the partnership, trust, and collaboration we aim to build with every client and candidate.
Our team brings a blend of REC accredited, award winning recruitment expertise and practical experience from carrying quotas, running pipelines, and supporting high growth environments. This combination strengthens how we assess capability, understand execution requirements, and support hiring managers, TA partners, and candidates through each stage of the search process.
Our mission is to bring clarity, structure, and informed judgement to every engagement. We help organisations make confident hiring decisions and support individuals in finding environments where they can perform, grow, and succeed.
