"We engaged with John, Joe, and the rest of the team at Strive in January when we were looking to build out the SMB team. 

Since partnering with Strive they have clearly been able to identify the right type of candidates we look to hire, placing over 45 sales reps in front of our team for interview. We found their qualification notes to be detail, valuable, and great from a screening perspective. Since filling the initials roles on the SMB team they have now built out our Mid-Market team and are helping us on our channel search. The candidates have had very positive feedback on their experience with Strive and also the accuracy of the role descriptions. 

We will continue to work with Strive as we look to grow the business and I would recommend them as a recruitment partner."
