Case Study
Interact Software
TalentStack partnered with Interact Software to rescue a stalled VP Sales EMEA search. After placing the successful candidate within three weeks, the partnership expanded across the wider GTM organisation, resulting in 11+ hires across EMEA and North America in four months
The challenge
A stalled VP Sales search during a critical period of growth.
In December 2025, Interact Software was approaching a significant period of change and growth, including a majority investment from Castik Capital.
North America was performing strongly, but EMEA needed renewed commercial momentum.
A critical VP Sales EMEA search had reached final stage before falling through, leaving Interact without the senior sales leader needed to drive the region forward.
CRO Brian Schwartz brought TalentStack in to take ownership of the search and restart the process.
But the requirement quickly grew beyond one leadership hire.
Interact also needed to strengthen its Enterprise Account Executive team in Manchester, build an SDR function from the ground up and support further GTM hiring across both EMEA and North America.
The challenge was no longer filling a single vacancy.
It was helping Interact build the commercial infrastructure required for its next stage of growth.
Our approach
From one executive search to a multi-region GTM recruitment partnership.
TalentStack began by rebuilding the VP Sales EMEA search.
Within seven days, three strong candidates had been introduced. A fourth candidate, Ravi Khera, was subsequently identified and quickly became the frontrunner.
Ravi was successfully placed within three weeks of TalentStack taking on the search and started with Interact at the end of December 2025.
That initial delivery changed the scope of the relationship.
Following Ravi's appointment, TalentStack worked directly with him to build out the EMEA sales organisation.
The first Enterprise Account Executive was hired within two weeks of receiving the brief, followed by two further Enterprise AEs.
Interact then engaged TalentStack to recruit an SDR Manager.
Jack Comer was introduced on the same day the search opened and ultimately secured the role following a competitive two-week process.
Once Jack joined, TalentStack worked directly with him to calibrate the SDR profile and build his team, placing three SDRs into Manchester.
The partnership also expanded into Solutions Engineering, with TalentStack placing a Solutions Engineer into the EMEA organisation.
At the same time, Interact brought TalentStack into its North American hiring strategy.
Working with Chief Sales Officer Daren Jennings and VP Sales North America Josh Dver, TalentStack placed two Enterprise Account Executives into the US team and began supporting further leadership and technical GTM searches in New York.
The results
11+ GTM hires across two continents in four months.
What started as a single VP Sales search developed into a strategic recruitment partnership across Interact's GTM organisation.
Between December 2025 and March 2026, TalentStack made 11+ hires across EMEA and North America.
Placements included:
- VP Sales EMEA
- 3 Enterprise Account Executives in EMEA
- SDR Manager
- 3 Sales Development Representatives
- Solutions Engineer
- 2 Enterprise Account Executives in North America
TalentStack also supported additional searches across SDR leadership and Solutions Engineering as the partnership continued to expand.
The initial VP Sales search was completed within three weeks, after the previous recruitment process had stalled at final stage.
Crucially, several TalentStack placements subsequently became hiring managers themselves.
TalentStack worked with Ravi Khera following his appointment to build the Enterprise AE team and later worked directly with Jack Comer to recruit his SDR organisation.
That progression from candidate placement to trusted hiring partnership reflects the strength of the relationship built with Interact's commercial leadership team.
What they said
Ravi Khera
VP Sales EMEA, Interact Software
"TalentStack are fantastic recruiters. From placing me into Interact, they took the time to ensure the fit, guiding me through the entire interview process and helping negotiate the offer stage. On the flip side, working with them as a hiring manager they're worlds apart from other recruiters, ensuring candidates presented meet my high expectations and weekly debrief calls keep candidates engaged throughout. TalentStack are now firmly my go-to recruiter and I would highly recommend them."
