The beginning of Unique – Unique was founded by Machiel Kunst. Machiel spent 9 years at SolarWinds MSP playing a pivotal role in their growth from $6mio to $250mio ARR. He hired, trained and groomed the EMEA sales team consisting of 45 people. At FastSpring he hired a sales team of 15 people within a year and built the region from $0 to $3mio.
He couldn’t consistently rely on recruitment agencies to deliver high caliber people fast enough and realized that it would require someone from the SaaS industry to set up a recruitment agency and run it in a modern fashion, together with other SaaS professionals. Unique initially focused on sales positions, from junior up to executive positions.
Unique growth journey – The unique selling point of former SaaS professionals filling roles they have firsthand experience in proved to work incredibly well. In 2021 the Unique team grew to 7 FTE and expanded with former Customer Success & Marketing professionals, expanding the value proposition from sales to any commercial position.
Market leader in Europe & US expansion – Two years in, Unique becomes the market leader for SaaS hiring in Europe and established a strong presence in East Coast US. Especially in key markets for SaaS, Germany, the UK & the Netherlands, Unique built a talent pool that’s second to none.
Expansion into IT & Dev – Unique attracts Dennis van Valderen, a top developer, to build out the IT & Dev department for Unique. Unique can now assist with any commercial or technical role.
Expansion into APAC – In line with Unique’s vision to help SaaS companies with all commercial and technical hiring across the world, Unique opens up an office in Sydney under leadership of James Bergl, a tenured VP Sales in the SaaS space.
