GTM Recruitment
Modern revenue functions are not just sales teams. RevOps, GTM Engineering, Demand Generation, Sales Enablement, Customer Success and Partnerships all sit on the revenue P&L. Evara's GTM recruitment practice hires across the full surface, not just quota-carrying seats, with the same commercial rigour we apply to a senior sales search.
Our process
01
Before we recruit, we pressure-test the role itself against your GTM operating model. Many businesses ask for a GTM Engineer when they actually need a RevOps Lead, or vice versa. This step saves a six-figure mis-hire.
02
We build a role scorecard that captures cross-functional accountabilities (sales, marketing, finance, product) and the systems environment the person will own (CRM, MAP, data warehouse, attribution).
03
GTM talent is concentrated in a narrow set of scale-ups and consultancies. We map it deliberately, including in your region, and approach passive candidates with a clear narrative about the problem to be solved.
04
Two screens: one commercial (impact delivered, cross-functional credibility, business judgement) and one technical (tooling fluency, data literacy, systems design where relevant).
05
Considered shortlist plus a 30-60-90 integration plan. GTM hires fail when they are dropped into an unclear matrix without authority. We build the authority lines into the offer.

Pricing model
Fixed-fee retained search, scoped to the seniority and complexity of the seat. Same staged payment model as the sales practice. Multi-hire programmes are scoped as a small portfolio with shared market mapping.
FAQs
GTM Engineering is the technical practice of building automated, data-driven systems across the revenue function: lead routing, signal capture, enrichment, sequencing, attribution. Done well it removes hours of manual work from sellers and lifts conversion rates materially.
Yes. RevOps is one of the most common Evara GTM searches. We screen for both the quantitative side (forecasting, attribution, capacity modelling) and the qualitative side (cross-functional credibility with a CFO and a CRO).
Yes. We routinely run programmes that hire across RevOps, Enablement, Demand Gen and an SDR layer in parallel, sequenced so the operating model is built before the front-line is filled.
Pricing is set against seniority and complexity, not job title. A senior GTM Engineer in a complex SaaS environment can be priced similarly to a Sales Director search; a junior RevOps analyst sits below.
Manchester is the deepest GTM talent market outside London, followed by Leeds. Concentrations sit around the Spinningfields and NOMA scale-ups in Manchester, the Wellington Place / South Bank cluster in Leeds, and the AMRC ecosystem around Sheffield. We map all three when running a senior GTM search.
Yes. Customer Success Director and Head of Partnerships are both core seats on the modern revenue P&L, and both are squarely within the GTM practice. We screen CS leaders for net revenue retention impact and partnerships leaders for sourced and influenced ARR.
We follow your operating model, not impose ours. Most of our senior GTM placements are hybrid (two to three days a week in a Northern hub) but we have placed fully remote and fully on-site roles. We will never push a flexibility model on a candidate that we know will not stick.
Our technical screen probes hands-on use of the relevant stack: HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, Clay, dbt, Snowflake, Looker, BigQuery, depending on the seat. We ask candidates to talk through specific systems they have built, not just tools they have used.
Yes. For mid-sized businesses with a strong in-house TA function, we often run alongside as a specialist GTM partner: market mapping and senior search, while the in-house team handles volume hiring. This works particularly well for PE-backed scale-ups with an internal TA Director.
A typical senior GTM search (RevOps Lead, Head of Demand Gen, Senior GTM Engineer) runs 8 to 12 weeks. Operating-model alignment in step one tends to add a week up front but saves weeks of mis-hire later. We will not compress the screen to hit an arbitrary deadline.
