Exceptional Tech & IT Talent
Can Seem Like Mission Impossible
My Name Is
James Kennedy
Director & VP at Kaliba
We help progressive IT vendors build high-performing sales and technical sales teams across APAC faster than you thought possible - without wasted time, poor performers, or damaging your brand in the market.
Whether you're missing revenue targets or expanding into new territories, our proven Kaliba Connect Method delivers quota-crushing sales talent that actually performs - because in software sales, bad hires don't just miss targets... they destroy your entire go-to-market momentum.
The demand for Australia’s Best Tech & IT Talent
continues to outpace supply.
Sales leaders are under pressure - critical revenue roles stay open for months, quotas are missed, and bad sales hires destroy pipeline while top performers quietly exit for better opportunities.
The fallout?
Missed revenue targets, team burnout, damaged customer relationships, and your best closers getting poached - all signs of a broken sales recruitment strategy.
At Kaliba, our promise is straightforward:
As APAC's leading tech recruitment professionals specializing in sales and pre-sales, we cut through the noise to connect you with quota-crushing performers who don't live on job boards and dodge generic recruiters.
Need high-impact GTM talent?
Or are you a GTM Leader quietly exploring your next move with purpose?
Either way, book a call today.
It could be the smartest move you make this year.

I worked directly with James when looking to fill an open role on my team. I've worked with many recruiters globally, but what struck me immediately about James was his desire to truly understand what we were looking for. He went much deeper than what kinds of credentials we might need, we felt like he really 'got' us and was passionate about finding the right candidate. James was patient and diligent, and was flexible in working with us across multiple time zones. We can be quite selective in who we hire, but James' calm confidence assured us that he would find us the perfect fit - and he did!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with James and his entire team at Kaliba, and I look forward to working with him again when we're ready to continue expanding our team in Australia & New Zealand.

I've worked with James across two different companies and every search we have conducted James has done with the uttermost professionalism. He does his due diligence prior to any search to understand my search criteria and what type of experience, skill set and culture our team is looking for and takes the time to filter out the candidates before presenting.
He also prepares the candidates well so that they truly understand the job requirements and are able to put on their best front. Everything is handled with great professionalism that it has made my job of building multiple fast growing organizations easier. I look forward to continuing working with James.

From initial contact to a swift result, James has been an exemplary agency-side recruiter and a pleasure to work with. He has managed multiple stakeholders to a professional level and understood our requirements from the get go. James found us an ideal pool of candidates in a very short amount of time and the vacancy was filled with little difficulty due to his efforts. Highly recommended!
