Hirewell, a Chicago-headquartered staffing company, acquired The Collective Search, a San Francisco-based recruiting firm. 

The Collective Search, founded in 2015 by Tom Wilkinson, provides sales recruitment for venture-backed companies in the software-as-a-service sector. 

“The Collective Search has an impressive track record. They have deep experience helping high-growth tech companies hire top sales talent,” Matt Massucci, founder and CEO of Hirewell, said in a press release. “Once I got to know Tom, I realized we shared the same ideals and commitment to client success. They are an ideal fit within the Hirewell family.” 

Wilkinson will remain the managing director of The Collective Search division of Hirewell. 

“The Collective can continue to deliver the same boutique, high-touch service our clients have been used to in the sales recruiting vertical while benefiting from Hirewell's deep domain experience,” Wilkinson said. 

Terms of the transaction were not announced. 

The acquisition comes after Hirewell’s $21 million investment from Prytek in 2021.
