Curated shortlist of 15 GTM recruiting and executive-search firms analogous to Crew (withcrew.ai), one row per firm, compiled from live web results on 2026-10-17 across 11 distinct source hosts; no single URL supports more than one row (6.7%). Cells record whether public evidence was captured — named clients, roles recruited, third-party rating, review/testimonial summary, quantified success story — plus the number of evidence pages per firm. An empty rating cell means no explicit rating was found, not poor quality; some ratings come from third-party comparison pages, and the Sales Talent Agency figure is an Indeed rating that may reflect employee sentiment. Long specialization and story texts are trimmed in the table; full texts appear in cell tooltips and at the linked sources.
