CLOSEDWON SCALE — FOR SEED AND SERIES A STARTUPS

Built to scale with you.

Trust is built through results. Once we've hired together, ClosedWon Scale gives you the same team and the same standard — with the predictability of an in-house recruiter, without the overhead.

We manage your pipeline as you grow so your hiring never slows down and your bar never drops.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATIVES

When recruiting fees add up, most startups consider three options.
None of them work as well as they hope.

ClosedWon Scale was built specifically to be the better alternative for Sales & GTM hires.

COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS

DO IT YOURSELF

Post jobs, rely on network
​​

  • Misses top candidates who aren't applying

​​

  • Slow. Distracts founders from building the business

​​

  • No screening standard. Higher mis-hire risk

​​

  • Feels cheaper upront. Costs more in time and bad hires downstream

CONTRACT RECRUITER

One person, hired short-term
​

  • Weeks to ramp up on your business and culture

​​

  • One person, one pipeline, one pace
    ​​

  • No proven process or screening standard

​​

  • Quality and speed vary widely

​​

FULL-TIME RECRUITER

Salary + benefits
​

  • Hire a recruiter just to hire your people. Another full hiring process.

​​

  • Still one person. Still needs ramp time
    ​    ​

  • When hiring slows you're still paying salary + benefits

​​

  • Expensive. Inflexible. Hard to unwind

CLOSEDWON SCALE

Retainer + small success fee​

​

  • Zero ramp time. We already know your business

​​

  • Three-person team. Faster searches, higher bar, more capacity than a single hire
    ​​

  • No hiring process. No benefits. No long-term commitment

​​​

  • Predictable monthly cost. Meaningfully lower per-hire fee than contingency.

HOW CLOSEDWON SCALE WORKS

A model that grows with your hiring needs.

STAGE 01 - CONTINGENCY

Start flexible.

Pay for performance. You only pay when you hire. No upfront commitment. Full ClosedWon process on every search.

After 3-5 successful hires you become eligible to opt into ClosedWon Scale.

 

STAGE 02 - CLOSEDWON SCALE

Switch to predictable.

A set monthly retainer for 3-6 monthswith a significantly lower success feeper hire. Predictable budget. Same team.

Best for startups with 3+ planned hireswithin a 3-6 month window

Meaningfully lower per-hire cost.

WHY CLOSEDWON SCALE BEATS A CONTRACT HIRE

We already know your business. A contract recruiter never will — not fast enough.

A new contract recruiter needs weeks or months to learn your company, your culture, and what great looks like for you specifically. We've already hired together. And we're not one person — we're a three-person team with a proven process. Faster searches. Higher bar. Zero ramp time.

That's not something a single contract hire can offer.

BEYOND SALES & GTM

Need technical hires too? We've got you covered.

As your team grows, hiring needs don't always stay in one lane. When you need technical talent alongside your Sales and GTM team, we work with a trusted technical recruiter who plugs in seamlessly to support those searches.
 

Technical searches flow through us on a contingency basis. One relationship. One point of contact. No juggling vendors.
