Challenges

Niche Hiring Profile
Precoro needed a rare mix in one person: a true outbound hunter, a verified $1M+ quota track record, and domain experience selling procurement, spend-management, or finance software, available remotely on US hours.

Time Sensitivity
The US go-to-market was scaling and every month without a closer meant pipeline and revenue left on the table. Internal sourcing was slow and senior closers are hard to reach.

High Cost of a Wrong Hire
Sales resumes inflate easily. A mis-hire in a revenue role is expensive once you count ramp time and missed quota, so accuracy mattered as much as speed.

Solution

Targeted Outreach to Senior Sales Talent
Code2Day launched a focused campaign across our SaaS and procurement sales network, targeting passive top performers rather than waiting on inbound applicants.

1348 Candidates Sourced in 21 days
We engaged qualified closers through personalized outreach, building a highly engaged shortlist quickly.

Performance-Based Screening
Each candidate was assessed for verified quota attainment, true hunter behavior, procurement-domain fluency, and US-hours availability. Only the top 8 advanced to Precoro's final stage.

Interview-to-Hire in 25 Days in avarage
From sourcing to accepted offer, the process took just 25 days in avarage, well ahead of a typical senior AE search.

Results

High-Precision Hiring
Only >1% of candidates sourced were ultimately hired, a highly selective, high-quality pipeline.

Time-to-Hire: 25 Days
From first outreach to final offer, the cycle was compressed by over 50%, minimizing lost pipeline.

Exact-Match Profile
A verified $1M+ quota hunter with real procurement-domain experience, the combination that is hardest to find.

Zero Drop-off
The offer was accepted 100%, thanks to tight alignment on expectations, comp, and team culture.
