Recruiting built around one specialty, not a hundred.

Kemper Garnham, Founder

For 15 years, I've recruited across the tech industry, both in-house and at agencies, working technical and go-to-market searches for startups at every stage. Along the way, I saw firsthand what separates a good hire from a great one, and found my niche: building technical sales organizations, specifically Account Executive and Pre-Sales / Solutions Engineering teams.

That experience led me to start ST Collective, bringing a more focused, hands-on approach to GTM recruiting to growing technology companies that need to hire well, not just fast. The goal isn't to fill an open seat. It's to understand what the company is building, what success looks like in the role, and who's going to thrive in that environment.

Having worked both sides of the hiring table, I bring the pattern recognition that comes from seeing hundreds of candidates, hiring processes, and team structures firsthand. I know what strong talent looks like, and just as importantly, what makes someone the right fit for a particular team, at a particular stage.

Recruiting works best when it's built on relationships, trust, and a real understanding of the business, not just resumes and job descriptions. That's what ST Collective is built to do, and working directly with me means every search gets that level of attention.
