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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
