The Smarter Way To Grow Your In-House Team

Marketing, Sales & Business Development Recruiting

Finding the right sales and marketing leader can transform a growing business. Finding the wrong one can set it back a year. We help businesses of every size hire smarter, from a small business making its first marketing hire, to an established manufacturer looking for a seasoned VP of Business Development.

Why we offer recruiting services

Mountwell has been helping small businesses launch and grow for years through our marketing services.

But, having led in-house marketing and sales teams before, I know that there are many advantages to having full-time staff, from cost-efficiencies at scale, to better understanding of the brand and market.

So, I’ve helped hire full-time sales and marketing staff for my clients when they’ve reached a certain level of growth - bringing an efficient process and 20 years of experience to bring on the right people faster.

For the companies who already know they need to make a full-time hire, we now also offer marketing, sales and business development recruiting as a standalone service.

Whether you’re making your first marketing or sales hire and want to get it right, or adding to an existing team and want to speed up the process, we’ll help you find the right candidates and make a confident decision.

What to expect from our recruiting services

Deep functional expertise

If you’re not a marketing or sales expert yourself, hiring one can feel like a guessing game. With our decades of experience, we help you scope the role so you know what you’re looking for, and then find, vet, and hire the right person for the right seat.

Comprehensive search & proactive outreach

We don't rely on whoever happens to be on a job board this week. Every search starts with a mapped target list and active outreach to the people most likely to be the right fit - including those talented people who are already getting results and aren't actively looking.

A smooth, easy process

Clear, honest communication

You'll always know where the search stands. Regular updates with real signal. If the role needs to evolve based on what the market is telling us, we'll say so. If a candidate has a concern, you'll hear it before it becomes a problem.

How our search works

Every search follows the same basic arc, adapted to the role and the level. No mystery, no delays.

1 Initial conversation

A no-pressure call to learn about the business, the role, and what success looks like. This is often the fundamental step where hiring an experienced practitioner makes the most difference. We’ll help provide the feedback and strategic scoping so you know exactly what you’re looking for, and can find and narrow down the right candidates faster.

2 Scope & target mapping

We finalize the role spec, comp range, and must-haves, then quickly build a targeted list of potential candidates who check all the right boxes.

3 Outreach & screening

Personal outreach to every candidate on the list, structured screening calls with the strongest, and a calibrated shortlist with a written assessment of each finalist's fit, strengths, and risks.

4 Interviews & selection

We manage the interview process end-to-end. Scheduling, candidate prep, debriefs, references. You only interview the best candidates so you don’t waste hours of your team’s time on people on don’t fit, and we help you in the decision-making process if you’re torn between multiple candidates.

5 Offer, close & onboarding

We help negotiate the offer, manage counteroffers, and stay engaged through start date. We check in at 30 days to make sure the placement is sticking - because a hire isn't successful until it's working.

Let’s get you the right person in the right seat

Whether you have a fully defined role in mind or just a hunch that you need help on the revenue side, we're happy to spend 30 minutes understanding what you're trying to build. No pressure, no pitch — just an honest conversation.
