A recruiting agency focusing on building a talent database for account managers, customer success, and operations roles in the SaaS and tech sectors found itself struggling to maintain a pipeline of quality candidates.
After discovering LinkedSDR, they transformed their LinkedIn outreach approach, significantly expanding their candidate database and establishing themselves as specialists in the post-sales RevOps space.
The founder of this recruiting agency had a strong background in HR at a high-growth startup. Alongside an experienced recruiter friend, they launched the agency, initially tackling any role that came their way.
However, they soon realized that building a focused pipeline was crucial to delivering quality candidates for their clients.
"We were constantly scrambling to fill client roles, posting on job boards and reaching out to candidates last-minute," the founder shared. "It was clear we needed a more targeted approach to build a lasting reputation."
Despite securing client agreements to search for candidates on a pay-upon-success model, the agency faced a major challenge: they didn't have a reliable pipeline of quality candidates.
Their approach was reactive—they posted roles on various platforms and rushed to find suitable candidates, resulting in inconsistency and missed opportunities.
The turning point came when they noticed a pattern in the roles they were booking. Most of their placements revolved around post-sales support positions like account managers, customer success, and RevOps roles. They decided to specialize in this niche but needed a proactive strategy to build a robust pipeline of passive candidates in these areas.
By chance, the founder received a message on LinkedIn from LinkedSDR. Intrigued, they spoke directly with LinkedSDR's founder and were captivated by the concept.
"The idea of leveraging volume to build a specialized talent pool made perfect sense," the founder noted. "We needed a solution that would allow us to connect with the right candidates systematically."
LinkedSDR provided a tailored solution—rented, real LinkedIn profiles backed by experienced SDRs—to help the agency tap into a broader network of passive candidates and grow their pipeline. Unlike cold email outreach, LinkedIn allowed them to engage directly with candidates in a space already associated with job searching.
The agency decided to start with 3 sets of profiles supported by LinkedSDR’s SDRs. This initial phase focused on identifying and engaging with candidates in post-sales roles, including account managers, customer success, and operations positions. LinkedSDR guided the agency in developing targeted outreach strategies tailored to these specific candidate profiles.
As the agency saw early results, they increased their volume over time. LinkedSDR provided flexibility, allowing them to gradually add more profiles to target specific roles and further grow their candidate database.
"Within the first month, we began securing interviews and building our talent pipeline," the founder explained. "By the six-month mark, we had more than 10x'd our database with relevant candidates."
With LinkedSDR's support, the agency achieved significant results that transformed their recruitment process:
"LinkedSDR wasn't just a service; they were a partner committed to our growth," the founder emphasized. "The support and guidance from LinkedSDR gave us the confidence to scale. They've been instrumental in helping us build a niche pipeline that stands out in the market," the founder remarked.
LinkedSDR offered the agency a tailored, scalable solution that directly addressed their pipeline challenges. By leveraging real LinkedIn profiles and targeted outreach strategies, the agency successfully built a name for itself in the RevOps space.
"For recruiting agencies struggling to build a focused talent pipeline, LinkedSDR is the partner you need," the founder concluded. "Their approach, flexibility, and dedication to our success have been key to our growth."
