02 / 05About the Company

A wearable safety platform sold into construction, rail, and logistics.

spacebands builds wearable safety technology. Their product started as a COVID social distancing solution and has evolved into a full safety stack: monitoring real-time risks like noise exposure, hand-arm vibration, and proximity to moving machinery, across industries including construction, rail, and logistics.

spacebands runs on a small team, and its first dedicated sales hire came through Outsorcy in 2025.

03 / 05The Challenge

A lean startup ready to scale outbound, but with no time for a long hiring process or a junior rep who needed babysitting.

spacebands' co-founder, Harry Kimberley-Bowen, wanted outbound covered without a drawn-out recruitment cycle, and without a hire who would need close direction from a team already stretched.

The process that followed was the standard Outsorcy one: a brief, a Kosovo shortlist, and interviews run by the client. Only the pace was unusual: three interviews in one hour, and a start the following week.

No time for a long hiring process

A standard recruitment cycle would have kept the seat empty for weeks. This one was filled in under a week.

No bandwidth to handhold a junior rep

Harry's verdict afterward: he offered very little help, and the SDR just ran with it.

Chosen by the client

Harry interviewed three candidates in a single hour and made the pick himself.

A product that rewards real preparation

The SDR researched the spacebands product on his own and wrote his own outreach script.

From the very early days, he understood what we do. He did his own research and even built his own script. I've offered very little help — he just ran with it.
