    • When it comes to CRO hiring in SaaS, the best candidates are almost never “looking.” They’re building, scaling, fundraising, or exiting. That’s why Oakstone’s search process is built around proactive, intelligent headhunting, not just name-gathering.

    • Our approach is bespoke, referencing the company’s mission, product, growth opportunity, and cultural DNA.

    • We engage senior leaders directly and respectfully with a clear, compelling narrative about why this specific opportunity might be worth their time.

    • Our outreach comes from experienced consultants.

    • Each shortlisted candidate is assessed through in-depth interviews, referencing, and a data-backed understanding of SaaS growth and discussed criteria.

    • We operate with complete discretion, protecting both client reputation and candidate confidentiality.

    • Our trusted reputation within the SaaS community ensures leaders take our calls when others might not.

    • We combine data-driven search intelligence with real human relationships, engaging CROs and SaaS leaders who aren’t looking.

  • From the moment a search begins, you’ll have a clear project plan and direct access to the consultant leading your assignment. We hold regular update calls (typically weekly or bi-weekly) to review progress, discuss candidate feedback, and refine the brief if needed. You will always know exactly how much progress we have made on your search.

    We see communication as a partnership, consistent, honest, and proactive. The result is a transparent, collaborative process that keeps momentum high and ensures every decision is informed and aligned.

  • At Oakstone, we understand that some leadership hires require complete discretion and need to include NDA’s. Our process ensures total confidentiality for both clients and candidates, from controlled outreach and anonymised briefing materials to private referencing. In short, we protect your reputation and strategic intentions while still engaging top-tier talent with precision and professionalism.
