We didn't start a recruiting firm because we love recruiting. We started GSD because we were tired of watching great founders get crushed by the one thing that should be empowering them: hiring.
With 40+ years of combined experience as operators, not just recruiters, leading Sales, Product, and Operations teams through an IPO and major acquisitions totaling over $3.8B, we built GSD to solve the hiring challenges we faced ourselves.
We are the go-to for SaaS founders who need to hire the top 5% of performers, fast.
These core principles guide every search we conduct and every system we build, ensuring our clients don't just fill roles, but transform their entire approach to talent acquisition.
A-Players are found through proactive hunting, not passive job ads.
A proven system is always more reliable than a gut feeling.
Your hiring process is a direct reflection of your brand. Make it exceptional.
A 20+ year veteran of global tech and operations, Angie is the architect behind our world-class process. With deep experience in program management leadership, she ensures GSD operates with the same level of precision and efficiency we build for our clients. She is the co-author of the book “Doubling Down As Dualpreneurs” with Travis.
A 20+ year SaaS sales leader, Travis has been in the trenches of hyper-growth. He's led teams through a $50M Series C, an IPO, and two major acquisitions ($317M and $3.5B). He is the author of "You, Of All People," the strategic mind behind our evidence-based vetting frameworks, and the primary coach for our clients.
Together, we've spent a collective 40+ years building teams, raising four children, and now enjoying seven grandchildren. When we're not talking about hiring strategy, you can usually find us hiking a trail in our home state of Colorado
