Placing Senior Leadership Roles
Client: GetWidget
Background
About GetWidget
GetWidget is a SaaS platform for app developers scaling from startup to growth stage post-Series A. The company needed a VP of Sales and a Head of Marketing to lead go-to-market — roles requiring a rare combination of SaaS domain expertise, developer-audience understanding, and remote-first team experience.
The Challenge
What GetWidget Needed
Our Approach
How Unified Platforms Delivered
Executive search with targeted passive candidate engagement. Longlists of 40+ candidates per role built through LinkedIn research, competitor intelligence, and the Unified Platforms network. Structured competency-based assessment across three interview rounds. Full candidate management including offer structuring, reference checks, and counter-offer preparation.
The Results
What Changed
VP of Sales placed in 34 days. Head of Marketing placed in 28 days. Both candidates sourced from outside the active job market. Both in role 18 months post-placement. Cost 40% below equivalent RPO firm engagement.
