Three ways to hire sales talent.
Programs, not contingency. Your company owns the candidate data.
Most firms rent you a recruiter and keep the database. The Kas Group runs a search inside your process and leaves you with the names.
Pick the model that matches how many seats you need to fill.
Three programs
Choose the model that fits your hiring
Kas Seat
Monthly sales-fractional capacity. Tech roles are never monthly.
- Normally $5,000 to $8,000 a month based on how many sales roles are open; up to $10,000 for senior AE and above.
- Hire as many people as the search produces that month. The monthly price does not jump per hire. Zero success fees on Seat.
- The Kas Group works inside your process. You own every name.
Best when: you need sales hiring capacity, not a one-off req.
For sales teams, see how the embedded month worksKas Milestone Search
Sales success or retained search for one critical seat. Not monthly.
- Three payments tied to milestones, not a monthly retainer.
- Example fees (not a % of OTE): SDR/BDR $5,000; AE $7,500; Senior AE / Sales Manager $10,000. Leadership / VP / CRO = quote.
- Payment one starts the search. Payment two unlocks once you receive the agreed number of qualified candidates. Payment three is due when the person is hired.
Best when: you are not ready for a monthly seat and you have one role that cannot slip.
Kas Directed Pursuit
List-driven / outbound search. Pricing on request.
- A search returns a list.
- The Kas Group reviews it.
- You mark who we hunt.
- You own the list. No published price list for Directed Pursuit.
Best when: you will tell us who is worth hunting.
Program Fit
Which program fits this quarter?
Three questions. One recommendation. You still own the candidate data.
1. How many seats are you filling in the next 90 days?
2. What are you hiring?
3. How do you want the search to run?
Answer the three questions.
Who this is for
- Tech and SaaS companies
- Founders, CROs, Heads of People
Who this is not for
- Volume staffing
- Ten agencies on the same req
- Anyone who expects The Kas Group to keep the candidate database
