The growth house for specialist commercial recruitment brands

Specialist recruitment brands, built to grow.

CloudScope Group builds and backs focused recruitment brands for the people who drive revenue. Each one is led by a specialist in a single market and draws on CloudScope Group’s shared operational, financial and resourcing support. Our flagship, The Emily James Partnership, matches SaaS sellers to the sales motion behind your seat.

True expertise cannot be spread thin.

We started in 2016 recruiting software, IT and digital talent across East Anglia. Along the way we learned that the best recruitment comes from people who live in one market, not a generalist desk trying to cover ten. So we stopped trying to be everything and started building brands that each do one thing well.

Today CloudScope Group is home to specialist brands focused on commercial, sales and revenue hiring. Each has its own leader, its own network and its own way of matching. Behind all of them sit CloudScope Group’s shared resources: operational, financial and additional resourcing support that every brand can draw on, alongside the same tools and commercial standards.

Our brands operate independently. Our standards do not.

The Emily James Partnership

01 · Flagship brand · SaaS sales recruitment

Matched to your motion, hired for ramp.

The Emily James Partnership recruits exclusively for SaaS companies, from the first SDR seat to sales leadership. Two AEs with the same title can sell to different buyers, at different deal sizes, on different cycles. So EJP captures the complete sales motion on both sides of the hire, 58 fields for every candidate and every role, then scores the fit as a Match %.

  • SDR / BDR
  • AE (SMB to Enterprise)
  • Sales Leadership
  • RevOps / GTM Ops
  • Customer Success
  • Account Management

1,500+

Verified SaaS companies in its taxonomy

2,900+

Quota-carrying sellers in a 13,000+ contact network

125

Specialisms across 12 SaaS sectors, 51 verticals within them

58

Fields on every candidate profile and role brief

From EJP’s own taxonomy, network and intake process.

One published price for every client: 15% of basic salary, plus a 2% Ramp Fee on OTE only if your hire is still with you at six months. If they leave within six months, there is no Ramp Fee and one free replacement.

Why hire through a CloudScope Group brand

One market per brand.

You speak to a specialist who knows your buyers, your competitors and your numbers, not a generalist reading from a job title.

Evidence over job titles.

We match on what people have actually done: who they sold to, how they sold and what they hit. A gap comes back as a gap, never a guess.

We go and find people.

We map your market and approach the people who are not looking, instead of waiting for applications.

Shared resources behind every brand.

Every brand is backed by CloudScope Group’s shared operational, finance and resourcing support, plus shared intake and tools like the Headcount Planner, so a boutique brand gets the backing of a group.

One standard of excellence.

Every CloudScope Group brand works to the same high standard, from the first brief to the placement and beyond, whichever market you hire in.
