About our Sales / GTM Recruiter role:
We have an industry-leading TA team at SailPoint, with advanced processes for role definition, creating talent pools, targeted outreach, candidate evaluation and onboarding. We’re seeking a recruiter who is comfortable with a high degree of proactive, targeted headhunting and who is excited to adopt (and continuously improve) the best-practice framework we employ.
In this role, you’ll primarily support hiring across our Go-To-Market organisation (Sales, Sales Development/Digital Sales, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing and related GTM functions as needed). Successful recruiters here focus on both the qualitative and quantitative elements of the job: do the right stuff, and do enough of it.
Typically, you will “own” responsibility for hiring within an assigned GTM area, while remaining adaptable to support other functional hiring as business priorities shift. You’ll partner with leaders at all levels, build operational credibility quickly, and proactively align talent needs to business goals. You’ll then execute recruiting strategies to identify, attract, assess, and hire top GTM talent using SailPoint’s established hiring processes.
