For Founders & CEOs

Hire your first GTM leaders without burning a quarter of runway on agency fees.

Seed and Series A founders rarely have an in-house TA team, but they need to land a VP Sales, first AEs, and a Head of Marketing fast. We embed as your talent function until you're ready to hire one.

What you're dealing with

The hiring problems this role keeps running into.

Pain 01

No in-house TA team

You're the recruiter, the closer and the CEO. Something has to give, and it's usually pipeline quality.

Pain 02

Agency fees eat runway

22% placement fees on a £180k VP Sales hire is £40k you don't have. Multiply across three roles and the maths breaks.

Pain 03

Your network is tapped out

The first 10 hires came from your contacts. The next 30 won't, and cold-applying candidates rarely match the bar.

How Saiyō solves it

Proactive headhunting from day one

We become your fractional talent team. One subscription, one embedded headhunter, going after the leaders and operators your competitors are trying to keep. No retainer per role, no surprise invoices, just a predictable monthly cost that scales with the round.
