DataBased is a mid-sized staffing and recruiting firm that concentrates on sales hires. Based in Lehi, Utah, it emphasizes delivering vetted candidates quickly and applies a five-attribute framework—cognitive ability, social skills, work ethic, career trajectory, and culture fit—so only top performers reach clients. Founded by Dan Watkins, formerly Global VP of Sales at Qualtrics through its $8B acquisition, the company positions itself as a sales leadership-specific alternative to traditional recruiters. The firm reports candidates are presented within about three weeks, and clients hire a substantial share of the recommended talent. Reported outcomes include faster ramp times (about four months), above-quota performance (around 10%), and longer tenure (approximately two additional quarters), reflecting productivity gains for sales teams.
