Intel 471 + Hubscale

Intel 471 needed to hire five sales hires globally including a VP-level hire and 4 Enterprise Account Executives within a fixed timeframe ahead of their Sales Kick-Off.

The roles included a VP of Sales across EMEA & APAC and Enterprise Account Executives across North America, Europe, and APAC.

After months of trying to hire internally, progress was slow. The challenge wasn’t just speed, it was finding proven talent from direct competitors across multiple regions without compromising on quality. Without these hires, Intel 471 risked heading into their sales kick-off without a complete team in place.

Hubscale partnered with Intel 471 on a retained hiring project, allowing us to prioritise delivery and commit dedicated resources from day one.

Three experienced consultants worked the roles in parallel, sourcing candidates directly from competitors. Hubscale managed the entire hiring process end-to-end. Weekly check-ins ensured alignment, momentum, and fast decision-making throughout.

The retained, cost-per-hire model also reduced risk and delivered a more cost-effective alternative to traditional contingent hiring.

All five roles were filled within two months, ensuring Intel 471 had a fully built team in place ahead of SKO.

Every hire came from a direct competitor, delivering immediate impact and domain expertise. The accelerated process saved Intel 471 $87,000, while significantly reducing time-to-hire and internal workload.
