Meet the Founder
John Kennedy – Director, The Recruiter
I’m John Kennedy, founder of The Recruiter. I started this company with one mission in mind: to help high-growth tech companies attract, hire, and retain top-tier sales and go-to-market talent. With over a decade of experience spanning technology sales and recruitment, I bring a hands-on, practical perspective to every search.
Before founding The Recruiter, I worked in sales roles at leading tech companies including LinkedIn and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This frontline experience allows me to deeply understand what great GTM talent looks like — and how to find it.
At The Recruiter, we specialise in:
Embedded recruitment partnerships
Permanent and contract hiring
Interview preparation and hiring strategy
Our clients value our transparent, results-driven approach, clear communication, and deep knowledge of the SaaS sales landscape. Whether you're scaling from Series A to B, expanding into new markets, or building your first GTM team — we’re here to help.
