Senior Technical Recruiter & Talent Acquisition Consultant

I’m a Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant with 10+ years of experience supporting startups and high-growth companies with full-cycle, fractional, and on-demand recruiting. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve partnered directly with founders and leadership teams to build and scale recruiting functions from 0→1, hiring across Engineering, AI/ML, Product, GTM, and corporate roles. I specialize in helping teams move quickly without compromising on quality, especially in competitive markets. I’ve supported 20+ SaaS and tech companies across North America, LATAM, and Europe, often stepping in where there is no internal recruiting team or during periods of rapid growth. What I can help with: - Full-cycle recruiting (sourcing, screening, interviews, offers) - Building recruiting functions from scratch (process, tools, ATS) - Sourcing and engaging hard-to-find technical talent - Hiring across Engineering, Product, AI/ML, and GTM roles - Improving time-to-fill and pipeline quality - Market insights, compensation guidance, and hiring strategy How I typically work: - Fractional / part-time recruiting support - Hourly or project-based engagements - Short-term or ongoing partnerships depending on hiring needs This model allows companies to scale recruiting efforts up or down while keeping costs flexible and avoiding the commitment of a full-time hire. Results: - Delivered 5–10 hires per month during peak periods - Reduced time-to-fill by 30–50% - Successfully hired across the US, Canada, LATAM, and Europe - Strong track record of placing high-quality technical talent in competitive markets Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, I’m comfortable recruiting globally and engaging candidates across different regions and cultures. If you’re looking for a hands-on recruiting partner who can quickly integrate with your team and deliver results, I’d be happy to connect.
