For hyper-growth tech companies, aligning GTM strategy with operational excellence is critical, but hiring the right tech
talent to build, guide, and execute can be a major challenge. In this case study, we explore how a leading company in the EdTech space partnered with Nimble Technology Partners to fill strategic gaps across marketing and sales through a targeted, flexible contingent staffing approach that drove measurable impact within months.
Background
A growing software company in the adjacent EdTech space had built a respected platform used by academic institutions and research organizations. While the product had strong adoption and a loyal user base, the need for operational excellence and support to execute their go-to-market strategy within marketing and sales was needed to scale. While the team had stellar talent already in place, the team needed help to identify its hiring needs to align with its GTM strategy, drive revenue and demand generation, and ensure product market fit.
The team realized that finding one full-time hire to cover all these needs was not the best path forward, as they recognized the need for both strategic consulting and targeted hiring.
With the goal of building a sustainable growth strategy by aligning the right people, processes, and platforms, they were in need of the best solution.
The challenge
While the product was gaining traction and the team had strong talent, there were still crucial needs that included:
Implementing high-converting lead generation tools and systems
Defining success metrics for sales and marketing roles
Building an operational foundation for a unified sales & marketing funnel
Part I was to help identify the gaps, and Part II was to then ensure they had the right sales and marketing roles and talent needed to execute against their plans.
When looking at a partner to help find talent, leaders needed more than just resumes, but a strategic partner to help diagnose those gaps and drive results.
Our approach
Here at Nimble Technology Partners, we take a fundamentally different approach compared to traditional staffing firms that remain in the market today.
Strategic Discovery
Before sourcing any candidates, Nimble conducted an in-depth discovery with the leadership team to understand their:
Business model and customer lifecycle
Internal capacity and team dynamics
Existing sales processes and marketing gaps
Success criteria for revenue growth
Scoping the Right Roles
Instead of a single role and trying to look for the Army Swiss knife candidate, Nimble helped the client see that they needed a mix of expertise across inbound and outbound sales and a marketing operations guru to help them not only set up the pipes, but help them start to identify and capture the data they had been longing for to help them make the right decisions for their marketing efforts.
End-to-End Support
Unlike traditional staffing firms, Nimble Technology Partners handled beyond just recruitment but also:
Onboarded and aligned talent with company and individual goals
Advised on KPIs and process development
Remained engaged post-placement for real-time guidance and support
“ Nimble Technology Partners has been invaluable in helping us identify our gaps and develop strategic, creative solutions to address them. Their expertise in product marketing has elevated our organizational thinking, enabling us to refine our approach and drive meaningful impact.
From establishing new workflows that optimize efficiency to helping us find the right people to support our long-term goals, their insights and guidance have been critical to our success.”
