Source Pointe

Source Pointe is a veteran-owned executive search and sales recruiting firm that helps staffing and technology companies across the United States hire top sales professionals, sales leaders, and senior executives who drive revenue and scale. Founded by Dave Fingers, the firm focuses on hard-to-reach, high-performing talent, applying time-tested search and interviewing strategies to present only the best available candidates. Because many elite sellers and leaders are passive and not scanning job boards, Source Pointe acts as a tactful, professional “pattern interrupter,” engaging candidates who are heads-down delivering results and opening conversations about compelling opportunities. Since 2008, clients have relied on the team to build and upgrade sales organizations—from individual contributors such as account executives, business development representatives, and enterprise sellers to front-line and multi-site managers, directors, VPs of Sales, and CRO/CSO-level leadership. The firm’s niche focus spans two core markets: internal teams at staffing firms (including firms seeking internal sales talent and, when required, experienced recruiters) and go-to-market roles for software, cloud, and broader technology providers. Every search is run with a disciplined process that defines success outcomes, maps the market, targets competitors, and screens for quota attainment, leadership impact, cultural alignment, and retention signals. Clients appreciate reduced time-to-hire, higher interview-to-offer ratios, and sales leaders who ramp quickly and produce measurable revenue impact, as reflected in testimonials from presidents, CEOs, and executive vice presidents. Source Pointe partners closely with hiring leaders to clarify role requirements, calibrate candidate profiles, and protect confidentiality, providing transparent communication from intake to offer acceptance. The result is a curated shortlist of proven performers who can elevate pipeline, close rates, and team performance—helping organizations take their business to the next level.
