Private GTM Recruiting · Cybersecurity

The work begins before
you have a req open.

NightVantage is a private firm. We place senior go-to-market talent into cybersecurity vendors. By the time you reach out, we have already spent quarters watching the people who could fill your role.

The Cost

Every week
matters.

A senior AE seat carries quota. An open SE slows your technical close rate. Every critical GTM role left unfilled is pipeline your team is not generating, not qualifying, not closing.

The standard contingency search takes eight to twelve weeks. The candidates who respond to job postings are available for a reason. The ones you actually want are not browsing job boards — they are working.

NightVantage has been watching those candidates for quarters. We know what they are closing, what they are frustrated by, and whether they would move. That is not a marketing line. It is the operating model.

The Problem

How most searches are built.

01 / Post & Pray

The role is posted.

Applications are screened. Whoever survives the filter is presented. The candidates you actually want were not on job boards. They were closing deals.

02 / Wide Net

Five firms. Same search.

Same LinkedIn filters. Same names. First to submit wins. You receive the same candidates from three different agencies. None of them spent time understanding those people.

03 / NightVantage

No posting. No nets.

Continuous market observation. By the time you call, we have spent quarters watching the people who could fill this role. One short list. Done.

The Operating Model

Preparation
over reaction.

Most firms start when you call. Post the role. Run the search. Present whoever responds. The preparation happens after you have a req — if it happens at all.

NightVantage operates in the opposite direction. The identification, the tracking, the relationship-building — all of it happens before you reach out.

By the time we present a name, we know what they are closing, what they are frustrated by, and whether they would move. We do not post jobs. We do not run wide nets. We present one short list.

“A private firm. A small client list. A long bench.”

Process

The process.

01

Engage

Tell us the role. We confirm we can serve it. If we cannot, we will say so. NightVantage does not take every engagement — that is structural, not marketing.

02

Receive the list

One curated short list. Not a stack of resumes. Not a spreadsheet of LinkedIn profiles. The names — with context, history, and our read on fit.

03

Hire

You make the decision. We manage process through offer. After placement, we disappear. No account management theater. No upsell.

Roles

GTM roles only.
Cybersecurity only.

No general tech. No contract work. No staffing. GTM talent for cybersecurity vendors — that is the entire scope.

Clients

A short client list.
On purpose.

Growth-stage cybersecurity vendors. Series A through Series D. $2M to $50M ARR. Actively scaling their go-to-market motion.

The buyer is the CRO, VP of Sales, CEO, or Head of Talent — the person accountable for revenue growth, not just the hiring manager.

NightVantage does not take every engagement. The client list stays small. That is not a constraint — it is the model.
