“Success isn't owned. It's leased. And rent is due every day.” As an accomplished executive recruiter specializing in emerging tech, I have successfully filled C-suite, VP, Director, and Sr. Individual Contributor roles since 2011, resulting in over 200 placements.In my first 3 years as a headhunter, I contributed to between $400-500k in annual billings and in 2014 established my own desk choosing cybersecurity as my focus. By 2018 I built the practice to almost $1M.At the end of 2018 I acquired the Cybersecurity practice and turned it into Pinpoint Search Group.6 years into owning/operating Pinpoint, the practice has gravitated towards helping start-ups attract and land professionals that enable maturation, scale, and successful exits. This journey has been an absolute roller coaster and I’ve had to learn a lot along the way. • P&L management• Contract negotiation • Leading/mentoring employees and contractors• Conflict resolution • Marketing • Business planning• Adjusting core recruitment principles to fit with ever-changing business environmentsThe hard work has led to extremely satisfying validation (as seen on LinkedIn recommendations)• “Mark Sasson, along with his team at Pinpoint Search Group stand out among the many recruiters in the Security space…”• “In an extremely competitive and fast moving market, Mark and his team at Pinpoint Search Group have helped to elevate the recruiting experience…”• “Mark is knowledgeable, articulate and a pleasure to work with, and moreover, he provided a focused and detailed approach during my recruitment process…”And just as exciting, the results of our work at Pinpoint provided me with an opportunity to contribute to industry commentary in publications such as:The Wall Street Journal | Fortune | TechCrunch | Business Insider | Cyber Defense Magazine | Industry Dive | CompTIA | Techstrong TV | InformationWeek | Security Boulevard | Help Net Security | Channel Pro Network | Business of Tech | The Cyberwire | SecurityWeek | eChannel News All can be found in my featured section or Pinpoint Search Group's press page.While I take pride in these achievements, I’m humbled by the nonstop grind associated with building/growing a business and a brand. I’m humbled by the knowledge that I have so much more to learn. And I’m dedicated to the continued pursuit of excellence.Expertise:Executive Search | Recruiting | Recruitment | Talent Acquisition | Interviewing | Hiring | Information Technology | Cyber Security Recruitment | Commercial Enterprise | Public Sector | Startup | Venture Capital
