I'm Lauren, founder of PClub Talent, a boutique recruiting agency exclusively for top-performing AEs in tech sales. Before I started placing AEs, I was one. Red Bull, SpotHopper, Attentive, SourceWhale - I spent years in the trenches of tech sales, hitting Presidents Club three times, breaking company records at multiple orgs, and earning the fastest Senior AE promotion in SpotHopper & SourceWhale history. I know how hard it is to find a company that's actually worth leaving for. And I know what hiring managers really need when they're trying to build a great sales team. That's the lens I bring to recruiting. I represent a selective group of top AEs - and I work with companies that are actually worth joining.
