SignalForge x Five Recruitment
Most GTM hires start with a job spec. Ours start with a system check.
Where this came from
The partnership was born from a simple observation, made from opposite sides of the hiring table: when senior GTM hires fail, it is almost never the person. It is the system they walked into. Luke Farrugia had lived it as an operator and was already building the systems thinking to prove it. Melvin Day and Jack Berry recognised it instantly from years of briefs and placements, and were willing to do the thing almost no recruiter does: question the brief before taking it.
What we deliver together
SignalForge fixes the system. Five finds the person it needs. Every senior GTM brief now starts with the GTM System Readiness Diagnostic: a free six-minute self-assessment scoring the GTM system across six dimensions, targeting, messaging, pipeline, role design, data loops and AI readiness, before the hire is made. The result shapes the role, the search and the system roadmap that runs in parallel.
