Technical recruiting · Burlington, North Carolina

I fill the roles
that stay open.

Seven years of full-life-cycle technical recruiting — sourcing, screening and placing engineers for staffing firms and the clients who rely on them. I read the stack before I read the résumé.

What I do

Five things, done properly.

No jargon and no black box. This is the actual work, in the order it usually happens.

  1. 01

    Full-life cycle recruiting

    Intake through offer, one point of contact. I take the requirement, build the search, run the screens, manage the interview loop and stay on it until the candidate signs and starts.

  2. 02

    Niche talent acquisition

    The requirement that has been open for four months, where the skill combination barely exists in your metro. That is the work I go looking for, not the work I avoid.

  3. 03

    Permanent placement

    Direct-hire searches where the fit has to survive year two, not just the offer letter. Fewer submittals, better matched, and I tell you when someone is wrong for you.

  4. 04

    Boolean & deep sourcing

    Structured search strings rather than a keyword guess — which is how you reach the eighty percent of qualified people who are not sitting on a job board waiting to be found.

  5. 05

    Internet recruiting

    Sourcing across the whole open web — communities, profiles, project histories and referral trails — so the shortlist is not limited to whoever happens to be actively applying.

Education

Bachelor of Technology — Computer Science

A recruiter with a computer science degree reads a requirement differently. I can tell the difference between a stack a candidate has shipped with and one they have listed.
