Walk me through your technical approach to mapping the GTM-Field Engineering talent market in a new EMEA country (e.g., Germany or UAE). What data sources, tools, and metrics would you use to size the market, identify target companies, and prioritize outreach?
Sr. Recruiter, GTM-Field Engineering
General

Sample Answer

If I’m mapping GTM Field Engineering in a new country like Germany, I start with market sizing, then company mapping, then persona mapping. For sizing, I’ll pull macro data from LinkedIn Talent Insights and EMSI or similar: number of Sales Engineers, Solutions Architects, and Field Engineers in B2B SaaS, broken down by metro. In Germany, that quickly showed ~4,500 relevant profiles across Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Hamburg. Next, I build a tiered company list using Crunchbase, CB Insights, and local VC portfolios: Tier 1 are global cloud/data players, Tier 2 are scale-ups (Series B+), Tier 3 are local champions. I’ll tag each in Gem/Greenhouse by tech stack, ACV, and sales motion. Then I create a skills heatmap from LinkedIn Recruiter searches (e.g., AWS/GCP, MEDDIC, complex POCs) and track outreach metrics by segment: response rate, interested rate, and qualified rate. That lets me prioritize where we’re getting 40%+ response and >20% qualified interest, and adjust messaging or targets where it’s weaker.
