About

A focused recruiting firm for early sales teams.

Whitney Search Group helps early-stage technology and AI companies hire sales talent: SDRs, BDRs, and account executives. We work primarily with founders in New York City and the Northeast.

Why we focus

Early sales hires shape pipeline, customer conversations, and the habits of the team that comes after them. A search for these roles should be run by someone who understands the work and takes the time to understand your company.

We stay focused on sales so we can ask better questions, assess experience in context, and give founders an honest view of the market.

How we work with founders

Founders get direct access, plain updates, and a shortlist they can act on. If a search calls for a different profile, a different pitch, or a conversation about whether the timing is right, we say so.

How we work with candidates

Good sellers come from many places. We take time to understand each person's experience and goals, look beyond familiar profiles, and always discuss an opportunity with a candidate before introducing them to a company.
