IT staffing and contract hiring firms · Lead generation

Find the hiring managers with an open requirement before the other firms do.

Lead generation for an IT staffing firm means finding the companies with open roles in the skills you place, and the candidates who will fill them. GullySales works on the client lists, the sources of requirements and the way each enquiry is recorded.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What lead generation means

Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For IT staffing and contract hiring firms

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Open roles are public before the requirement is sent”

    A company that posts a developer role on its careers page is already hiring. A firm that reads those postings and writes to the engineering head with a relevant profile reaches the buyer first.

  • “Hiring follows funding and projects”

    A startup that closes a round or a services firm that wins a contract hires soon after. News of either is a reason to write, if the note names a skill you place.

  • “Existing clients hold the next requirement”

    A manager who hired two testers through you will need others. Asking about the next role while the last joiner settles is the cheapest lead you have.

  • “Two kinds of enquiry share one number”

    A company asking for engineers and a fresher asking for a job use the same contact. Without a first question that separates them, the paying one waits.

What we do

What we deliver for IT staffing and contract hiring firms.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A target list by skill and company type

    Companies hiring in the skills you place, grouped by size and hiring model, with the engineering head or talent lead named.

    Result: Outreach goes to named people with a reason.

  2. A trigger watch

    A list of signals your team reads, such as careers-page postings, funding news and project announcements, each tied to a message.

    Result: A message follows a real reason to hire.

  3. A first-reply script

    Two questions that sort a company requirement from a candidate enquiry, with a route for each.

    Result: The client enquiry is answered first.

  4. An existing-client review

    For each active client, the roles filled, the roles open and the next likely requirement.

    Result: Repeat requirements are asked for.

  5. A source record

    Each requirement tagged by how it arrived, so the sources that bring real roles are visible.

    Result: Effort moves to sources that produce roles.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries generated
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries by source

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the lead generation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand your capacity

    We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where do staffing firms find new clients?
From referrals by hiring managers you have served, from careers-page postings, LinkedIn contacts and vendor panels. Record the source of each requirement and judge sources by roles filled.
Should we buy contact databases of HR heads?
Be careful. Check the source, confirm the contact is current and check the rules on unsolicited messages before writing. A list built from postings and introductions is closer to a real requirement.
Is it worth bidding on every requirement?
Bid where you hold candidates or can source them. A profile sent for a role you cannot fill wastes the hiring manager's time and your own, and costs your name with that client.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
