WHAT SOME OF OUR CLIENTS SAY
Literally the best. I’ve been working with 80Twenty for almost 2 years and give them the highest rating possible. They’ve helped our company fill countless roles, from Client Services to Marketing. They are some of the most skilled recruiters I’ve ever met, and additionally, every single recruiter I’ve worked with is an absolute gem. They are kind, personable, responsive, and have an eye for detail and a knack for finding you just the candidate you’re looking for. I clearly cannot say enough good things about them. Thank you, 80Twenty for all you do!
Hire who you need. How you want.
Blog posts
We post about hiring and job hunting trends and strategies, and the best practices for both. Here are some of our latest blog posts
- Why use a GTM specialist instead of a generalist?
-
Because GTM roles are high-stakes and highly specific. One wrong CS hire costs NRR. One wrong marketing hire costs a quarter of pipeline. A generalist recruiter can’t tell the difference between a PLG account executive and an enterprise closer, or a retention CSM and an expansion-focused one. We can because we’ve placed all of them.
- What types of roles do you specialize in?
-
As a specialty staffing agency, we specialize in staffing high-quality talent in sales, marketing, creative, and customer success. We have long expertise in executive searches across all leadership roles. Whether you’re looking for CMOs, CROs, marketing directors, graphic designers, or sales leaders, we match top-tier candidates to your needs.
We provide this specialized recruitment support in key markets across the U.S., no matter your location. Whether you’re tapping into the innovation of our Staffing Agency in San Francisco, navigating the corporate world with our Staffing Agency in New York City, or partnering with our Staffing Agency in Chicago, we provide expert local support. Our deep presence in California is further strengthened by our Staffing Agency in Orange County and our Staffing Agency in Los Angeles, as well as in the heart of Silicon Valley through our Staffing Agency in San Jose.
- How do you source candidates?
-
We leverage a combination of proactive sourcing, including targeted outreach, our extensive network, and a robust candidate database, ensuring we find the best candidates. We are experts at connecting our clients with highly sought-after, off-market candidates. The majority of candidates we place with our clients were not active job seekers.
- What sets 80Twenty apart from other staffing agencies?
-
We’re a GTM specialist firm, not a generalist one. Every recruiter works within a few defined functions and knows what good looks like because they’ve placed dozens of people in the same role.
Our Direct Hire fill rate is 2x the industry average — not because we send more candidates, but because we send the right ones.
- How long does it typically take to fill a role?
-
The average time to fill a role is 30-45 days, largely depending on how quickly our clients move through the interview process. You will start seeing candidates from our team in the first few days after kicking off a new search. We deliver both speed AND accuracy.
- What industries or roles does your recruitment agency specialize in?
-
We specialize in recruiting high-caliber talent in sales, marketing, creative, and customer success. We focus on five lanes:
Growth-Stage B2B Tech (including AI-native companies), Consumer Brands · Marketing & Creative Agencies · Fintech & Financial Services · Private Equity & Venture Capital
You can see our most commonly served industries here and read some of our client testimonials here.
- What are your pricing and payment terms?
-
We work on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay us a fee if you hire one of our candidates. The fee is a % of the annual salary. We offer discounted rates for exclusive relationships as well as volume discounts when you have multiple hiring needs.
For temporary, contract, or contract-to-hire searches, the fee will be an hourly bill rate. Reach out to us for more details regarding our fees and terms!
