Our track record with software and technology organisations

Nigel Wright Group has partnered with software businesses at every stage, each needing sellers who understand its buyers and sales cycle.

Established software brands

Sage and MRI Software run large, structured revenue teams. These hires need people who manage complex accounts within a mature sales model.

Property, construction and built environment technology

iamproperty, Hubexo and SFG20 serve specialist markets with expert buyers. Sellers here need product fluency and credibility with professionals in property, construction and building maintenance.

Technology products and services in fast-moving markets

SaleCycle, Opencast Software and ITD Global sell technology into competitive commercial markets. Pace matters here, along with a sharp sense of where new pipeline will come from.

Across every client, we look for SaaS sales talent with a proven record, a clear fit with the go-to-market model and the motivation to stay and grow.

How does our SaaS sales hiring approach work?

Our recruitment process follows three stages:

1. Map the market. We research the SaaS sales market across Manchester and the North West, including passive candidates who are open to the right move.
2. Assess against evidence. Quota attainment, deal size, sales cycle length and customer type all shape our view of each candidate.
3. Guide the decision. You receive a focused shortlist with clear reasoning, then support through interview, offer and onboarding.

Executive search, advisory and specialist recruitment for SaaS

• Executive search: securing leaders who shape your future. As a SaaS sales executive search firm, we run researched, confidential searches for SaaS sales leaders, including CROs, VPs of Sales and Sales Directors.
• Advisory: expert insight for wiser decisions. We help leadership teams make confident choices about sales leadership and talent as they scale, invest or transform.
• Specialist recruitment: connecting you with talent others cannot. Our consultants fill quota-carrying, account management and sales development positions with candidates matched to your market.

Permanent or interim: which model fits your sales team?

• Permanent hires suit roles that build long-term value. Think of a new Head of Sales or a revenue leader who will shape strategy for years.
• Interim professionals suit moments that need experience fast. Common examples include covering a departed Sales Director, leading a restructure or delivering a defined programme such as a channel launch.

Many clients use both. An interim leader can stabilise the team and set direction while we search for the permanent appointment. This keeps momentum high and gives your leadership team time to choose well.
