I got into recruiting 20+ years ago because I couldn’t stand how transactional it had become. Fast forward to now, I still think most recruiters move too fast, ask too little, and care more about closing roles than setting people up to succeed.
That’s not me. When we work together, I’m not just scanning your bullet points and sending you links. I want to know why you left your last role, what kind of team dynamic gets you excited, what problems you actually want to solve, and what would make a job feel worth it. A resume tells me what you’ve done but I care about where you’re trying to go, and why.
I work mostly with mid-to-senior professionals in tech and engineering - AI/ML folks, software engineers, technical specialists who are done with the games and just want someone to understand them and help them make a clear-eyed next move.

We start with you
What you want. What you don’t. What burned you last time. What lights you up. I want the full picture, not just what’s on your LinkedIn.
No mass blasts, ever
I won’t send your profile to 20 companies and hope something sticks. Every intro is thoughtful, well-timed, and paired with real insight about why you’d be a fit.
I go to bat for you
Hiring managers don’t always read between the lines, I help them. I frame your strengths, give context, and tell the story that your resume alone can’t.
Timing is Everything
I track the market and move fast when it counts, but I won’t rush you into something that’s off. I’d rather miss a deadline than make a bad match.
The right job is out there. Let's find it together.
