Interim Head of Talent | Senior TA Partner | VC-Backed Startups & SaaS

Are you a CEO, CTO, or Talent Leader who needs experienced help with hiring? I’m a Senior Talent Partner / Interim Head of Talent (9+ years) helping VC-backed startups (Pre-Seed to Series C) and unicorns hire hard-to-fill technical, product, and GTM roles across the US, Europe, and LATAM. I work in embedded / interim engagements, owning hiring end-to-end. From strategy and outbound headhunting to closing. Most of my work involves building recruitment from 0→1, scaling teams into new geographies, or unblocking hiring when internal teams are at capacity. I’ve partnered with early-stage startups, fast-scaling SaaS companies, and unicorns (including Gelato and Aircall) in environments where hiring speed, quality, and execution discipline all matter. What I do: → End-to-end targeted search (intake, market mapping, headhunting, screening, pipeline ownership) → Hiring infrastructure & process setup (ATS, workflows, reporting) → Leading embedded recruiting teams (Interim Head of Talent / RPO) → Scaling teams across regions and new markets Roles I regularly hire for: → Software Engineers (Backend, Frontend, Full-stack, Mobile), → Product Engineers, Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Forward Deployed Engineers → Product Managers, Product Designers (UX/UI), → QA, SecOps, → SDRs, Business Development, Head of Growth, Growth Marketing. Results delivered → 3× higher hiring-funnel conversion → 30%+ faster time-to-hire → 2.5× faster time-to-fill → 95%+ offer acceptance → 50%+ reduction in TA operating costs through embedded models Looking forward to collaborating!
