The partnership with Vector came at a crucial time. I was behind in my hiring plan and struggling with multiple recruiters who couldn’t bring me talented sales professionals with the right technical sales experience required to sell our solution to engineering departments.
I’m now on track with my hiring plan with a high-performing team in place. This would not have been possible if I didn’t start working with Vector when I did.
Dylan was a key partner in building out our team at Atlan during a pretty important phase of growth in North America.
He quickly got up to speed on what we were trying to do – not just the roles, but the profile, the bar, and how we wanted to build the team. Dylan genuinely wanted Atlan to win. He cared about the quality of the team we were building, and always started with the risks/concerns he had about a candidate instead of trying to sell me.
His bar is very high, which is exactly what you need as you scale a business. If you’re building and need someone who actually understands how to hire well at this stage, he’s a strong partner.
I felt like he was a part of the Atlan internal team, not external.
I’ve worked with Dylan as a trusted partner for years – someone who takes the time to understand what matters to me rather than just pitching roles. He’s honest about what is and isn’t the right fit.
When the lakeFS opportunity came up, it was clear he’d thought carefully about the alignment – stage, product, and what the business needed commercially. Start to finish, the process was clean and well managed.
If you’re a senior operator looking at roles in AI, data, or infrastructure, Dylan’s someone worth partnering with.
Dylan brings rare technical depth to the recruitment process. He had a clear understanding of my career goals, my employer’s business, and the broader AI and infrastructure landscape, which made every conversation genuinely useful.
Many tech recruiters don’t truly speak the language of the industry they recruit for, but that’s not the case with Dylan. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and professional throughout.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dylan throughout the past few years, and he is easily one of the most thoughtful and skilled recruiters I’ve encountered.
What sets Dylan apart is his deep industry knowledge; he doesn’t just fill roles, he truly understands the market landscape and how to align talent with long-term goals. Throughout our time working together, I was consistently impressed by his methodical approach and his ability to provide genuine, transparent guidance that made the entire process seamless. Emphasis on “transparent”.
I look forward to working again with Dylan and cannot wait to see what he does moving forward.
When looking to build out your founding GTM team, you need to find a recruitment partner who ‘gets it’.
After having open headcount within our Founding sales team for over 6 months, I was struggling with finding a partner who understood our stage of growth, the type’s of individuals we were looking for and the technical expertise required to be successful in this environment.
