NewTribe

NewTribe is a specialist SaaS recruitment agency founded by Joe Cassano, dedicated to solving the persistent problem of high turnover in technology hiring. With 25 years of experience on both sides of the hiring desk, including 15 years as an IT hiring manager in scaleups and enterprise organisations, NewTribe has built a recruitment model where incentives align with long-term client outcomes rather than volume metrics. The agency operates on a deliberately small, focused model with one point of contact managing each search from initial brief through to accepted offer, ensuring continuity and priority throughout the hiring process.

NewTribe specialises exclusively in SaaS recruitment, focusing on scaleup companies seeking high-calibre technical and leadership talent. The agency's core methodology centres on pre-interviewing every candidate for long-term cultural and capability fit, conducting proper conversations about career motivation, team dynamics and technical ability rather than superficial screening. This approach directly addresses the SaaS sector's endemic retention challenges, with 92 percent of NewTribe placements remaining in role after two years compared to the industry average of 46 percent.

Operating across Australia, APAC, Europe and the US, NewTribe serves scaleup companies seeking to build collaborative, high-performing teams capable of scaling globally. The agency differentiates itself through its commitment to quality over quantity, refusing to expand capacity beyond what allows for genuine focus on each client's specific needs. By headhunting candidates directly rather than relying on job boards, NewTribe achieves a 79 percent response rate from target candidates and delivers decision-ready shortlists within 14 days, addressing the timing issues that typically stall growth in fast-moving technology companies.
