    • Deep understanding of GTM talent personas (e.g., enterprise account executives, government sales leads, channel managers) and the traits of high-performing sales professionals.
    • Comfortable assessing traits such as sales acumen, quota performance, customer influence, and sales process rigor during screening and interviewing.
    • A strategic, proactive mindset and passion for attracting top-tier talent.
    • Experience in high-tech, deep-tech, or product-led environments.
