Cypress Talent

Cypress Talent is a specialized executive search firm based in Menlo Park, California, with additional offices in London, UK. Founded by former Heads of Talent from iconic technology companies, they focus exclusively on building high-performing go-to-market (GTM) teams for ambitious tech companies across all growth stages from Series B to post-IPO.

Cypress Talent operates with a unique operator insight approach, leveraging their founders' extensive experience as former in-house talent leaders at companies like Adobe, Salesforce, ForgeRock, and ServiceNow. This inside perspective allows them to understand the specific challenges of scaling GTM teams and how hiring standards evolve as companies grow.

The firm specializes in recruiting for critical GTM functions including Sales & Revenue Leadership, Solution Consulting, Professional Services, Revenue Operations, Field Marketing, and Account Executives. Their geographic expertise spans the U.S. and EMEA markets, with deep local knowledge in both regions enabling them to support global expansion efforts.

Their methodology, known as the 'Cypress Talent blueprint,' has been refined through years of strategic hiring experience. They focus on understanding how leaders operate within specific company cultures, crafting compelling product stories, and developing targeted messaging that attracts the right talent for the right reasons. This approach emphasizes quality over quantity, with careful assessment of candidates based on what excellence looks like in each client's unique environment.

With a commitment to building long-term partnerships, Cypress Talent positions itself as more than just a recruitment firm - they serve as strategic advisors who understand the nuances of scaling technology companies. Their name reflects their philosophy of resilience, connection, and building something that lasts, much like the Cypress trees that grow in groups and adapt to various conditions.
