Hiring the right leadership talent is never easy, but for Upflow, the stakes were high. The cutting-edge B2B payments provider needed a VP of Sales who could drive their expansion from Series A to Series B funding, and they were running out of time. As Alex Louisy, CEO and Co-Founder of Upflow, shared: “Making the right first GTM hire could make or break our expansion plans entering the US. They needed a partner who could help them find the right fit—fast. That’s when Upflow turned to Bluebird. With a recommendation from an advisor, Upflow connected with us, and our expertise came into play. “It was fast, that’s the most important thing. You got started really quick,” Alex explained. And that speed was exactly what they needed. In just nine days, Bluebird presented Upflow with a high-quality pool of candidates, and they quickly secured their new VP of Sales. The result? A key hire that allowed Upflow to get back on track with their growth goals. We’re proud to have been a part of Upflow’s success. Alex’s advice for other companies? “If you’re ready to make that hire, just go and work with them.” Curious to learn more about Upflow’s journey and how we helped?

We’re excited to launch our new case study section! Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of helping SaaS companies like Studytube scale their teams and achieve their growth goals. Now, we’re sharing these stories to give you an inside look at how we make it happen. When we first connected with Studytube, a leading SaaS learning platform, they were scaling rapidly and needed hires who truly understood the SaaS space—from SDR teams to executive leadership. Their challenge wasn’t just finding people to fill roles; it was building a team that could sustain and accelerate their momentum. Through our partnership, we developed a tailored recruitment process, including customised candidate assessments and strategic guidance on compensation. The result? A winning team that ramped up quickly and made a lasting impact. As their Chief Commercial Officer, Farzad Henareh, put it: “It took us a long time to find a good recruitment partner.” Want to read more about how we helped Studytube—and other SaaS companies—scale successfully?
