Loom Haven Advisors

Hunters who find hunters.

Executive search and specialized recruiting for sales organizations.

A sales hire fails in public. Everyone knows by the second quarter, and the real cost is not the fee, it is the territory that stood still for a year.

How We Choose Work

Good people, finding good people, for good companies.

A small firm, on purpose

We are a small firm and we intend to stay one. Good people, finding good people, for good companies.

We will turn down a search

We will turn down a search over how a hiring manager talks about the person they are replacing. Not because we are precious about it. Because the best salespeople in any market already have a job, and they do not leave it for a company that treats people badly.

Selectivity is access

Being selective about clients is how we get access to candidates. The people worth hiring are working and hitting target, and they answer the phone for firms whose clients they respect.

Where our network is deepest

Building and home products, construction supply and distribution, and residential real estate.

Confidential Mandates

Discretion is a capability, not a courtesy

Some searches can't be public: a build the market shouldn't see coming, a replacement the team hasn't been told about, a move a competitor would love to know. We run confidential mandates as a discipline.

NDA-backed engagements

Mutual confidentiality from the first conversation.

Protected client identity

Candidates learn who you are when you decide they should.

Blind outreach done right

Compelling enough to move a passive executive, revealing nothing.

Candidate discretion, both directions

The people we approach trust us with their careers; that's why they answer.

What we're trusted with stays trusted, during the search and after it.

Replacing Someone Who Is Still In The Seat

A normal reason to call. An uncomfortable one to explain.

We run those searches without your name attached until the shortlist is real.

How It Runs

We map the market rather than advertise the role

01

Calibration

We agree what exceptional actually looks like in the seat, and what the person will be measured on, before the search begins.

02

A market map you actually see

We map the market rather than advertise the role, because the people worth hiring are working and hitting target. You see the map.

03

A shortlist with our reasoning attached

Not a stack of resumes. A shortlist, and the argument for each name on it.

04

Through the offer and the first ninety days

We stay involved after the signature. That is when a hire is actually made or lost.

What We Place

Search, and recruiting

Search, for the single hire. Recruiting, for a population. Our network is deepest in building and home products, construction supply and distribution, and residential real estate.

Search

For the single hire

Chief revenue officer, VP of sales, commercial director, sales director, general manager, country manager, and the people who own a distributor, dealer or big-box relationship. Retained, or partly retained.

Recruiting

For a population

Field sales, territory representatives and commission-based agents, hired quickly against an agreed profile.

Contract Staffing & Augmentation

Build technical benches, scale delivery teams, or staff project-specific engagements. Contract, augmentation, and project-based talent for consulting, professional services, and growth-stage companies.

Contract-to-Hire

Bring talent on under contract with a clear path to permanent conversion. De-risk critical hires by evaluating fit on the job before the long-term commitment. Ideal for fast-moving teams and newly created functions.

If It Does Not Work

If a placement leaves in the first ninety days, we run the replacement search at no further fee. What is and is not covered is set out in the engagement letter, and we send that before you commit to anything.
