Top Rated Plus Senior Recruiter | AI, SaaS, Infra & GTM Hiring | 13K+ LinkedIn Network | US, EMEA, APAC Hi, I am Rishi, I help AI, SaaS, and infrastructure startups hire the engineers, leaders, and GTM talent they can't find on their own, and I fill those roles fast. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, and most of my work comes from founders who hire me again. Hiring at an early-stage company is hard. You need someone senior yesterday, the job description is still half-formed, and every week a role stays open costs you momentum. That is the problem I solve. For the past 8 years I've worked directly with founders, CTOs, and hiring managers across the US, Israel, Europe, and APAC, with VC-backed startups and high-growth SaaS teams. I don't work like a typical agency that floods your inbox with resumes. I act as an extension of your team. Before I source a single name, I sit with you to define what the role actually needs, the difference between someone who looks right on paper and someone who will deliver in your environment. Then I build a real talent map, source directly through LinkedIn Recruiter, HireEZ, and advanced Boolean and X-ray, and run structured screening calls that test for signal, not buzzwords. You only see candidates I'd put my name behind, each with a clear write-up on why they fit and where the risks are. Where I'm strongest: • AI and ML engineers (LLMs, RAG, applied AI), backend (Python, Go, distributed systems), and infra, platform, DevOps, GPU and HPC, up to staff and architect level • GTM and revenue: Account Executives, sales leaders, growth operators, and technical or growth PMs • Leadership: VP and CXO searches for teams that are scaling Why clients keep coming back: • I understand technical roles in depth, so I'm screening for real ability, not keyword matches • I know how startup hiring actually works, where speed and precision both matter • I protect your time by filtering hard, so every profile you open is worth a look • I stay in it through interviews, feedback, and the offer close, not just the submit Tools I work in daily: LinkedIn Recruiter, HireEZ, Loxo, Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Comeet, and structured scorecards. Here's an easy way to start: send me the role, or even a rough idea of it, and I'll come back with an honest read on how fillable it is plus a hiring plan, before you commit to anything. Available for contract, retained, or ongoing hiring support. Capacity for 30+ hours a week.
