Case Study
Netrise
Strativ was initially tasked with sourcing a VP of Product Management to lead the development of the NetRise product. After successfully placing this crucial hire, NetRise tasked Strativ with delivering on a project build, including hires across Engineering, Marketing and Sales.
Through a tailored solution and thorough search of the relevant market, we successfully delivered a VP of Sales, x2 Software Engineers and a Product Marketing Manager.
Apirro
Our partnership began in March 2021, when they came out of stealth mode and were 20 employees. They had no US presence, so we partnered with David French, CRO, and helped the business hire their first set of enterprise sellers.
We then worked with Pete Morrissey, Director of Enterprise Sales, to support with pre-sales hires. They chose Strativ Group because they needed a partner who had the network and presence in the US to help build out the brand as well as the team, and really put them on the map in the US market.
Of all the people Strativ Group has placed, nobody has left as yet, and 2 people have been promoted within 12 months.
The company doubled in size in 2023, now boasting a headcount of circa 125+ people and are on their 2nd stage of growth with Strativ to build out their CS, channel and tech support.
Swimlane
Strativ was tasked with hiring a Product & Engineering team, in addition to sourcing a Director of Product Management to drive the roadmap and lead the execution for the Swimlane platform & service offering.
These were crucial hires for Swimlane, and key to the development of the product team, including the platform they are looking to build.
Through a thorough search of the relevant market in the security automation space, we identified 136 top tier candidates & spoke with 48% of the focussed talent pool. We shortlisted 15 candidates, 11 of which were invited for interviews. Subsequently, we had four candidates that had final interviews.
We successfully delivered on the Director of Product Management position and built a tailored solution for the wider product team, solving the hiring problem that Swimlane were facing; we head-hunted a Principal Product Manager and a Senior Product Manager. Furthermore, we also delivered on a project within the engineering team to source a Principal UI Engineer.
