Precise Technology Recruiting with Broad Technology Expertise

Overview

I’m a full cycle engineering/technical recruiter (see technology list below) with 35+ years of successful experience driving successful searches with a 100% acceptance rate on first offer, for tiny startups to Fortune 500 firms. I develop collaborative relationships with hiring managers/stakeholders, resulting in candid, effective technology/culture discovery sessions, which are so crucial to a successful technical hire. I’m an expert and tireless sourcer delivering impressive highly screened candidates on a timely basis with talent pipelines, tactical research, active networking/referrals, and compelling opportunity descriptions.

I partner with both business and HR leadership to drive the hiring process to a successful close.

Professional Experience
