Betts Recruiting

[edit]

Betts Recruiting is a U.S.-based recruitment and recruiting technology company focused on go-to-market (GTM) talent for the technology industry. The company offers a SaaS-enabled recruitment platform called Connect and provides traditional contingency recruiting, executive search, and Recruitment as a Service (RaaS) solutions for early-stage to enterprise-level companies. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Betts has played a prominent role in modernizing how tech companies hire sales, marketing, and customer success professionals.[1]

History

[edit]

Betts Recruiting was founded by Carolyn Betts in 2009. Initially operating as a traditional contingency recruiting firm, the company expanded to serve major U.S. tech hubs including San Francisco and New York City. In 2020, the company relocated its headquarters from San Francisco to Austin, Texas. That year, Betts laid off 40 employees amid a business model pivot toward software-enabled hiring.[2]

This strategic change led to the development of Betts Connect, a proprietary SaaS platform launched in 2020.[3]

In 2024, the company launched Comp Engine, a compensation benchmarking tool that provides real-time salary insights for go-to-market roles, sourced from actual placements made by Betts recruiters.[4]
