Technical Recruiter | Tech, SaaS & AI Startup Hiring | Full-Cycle

Hiring a great engineer shouldn't take 90 days. I'm a Technical Recruiter with 10+ years placing Software Engineers, Data Scientists, ML/AI Engineers, and Product Managers for SaaS and AI startups — closing hard-to-fill roles in 2–4 weeks, without agency-scale fees. Most clients come to me after a bad experience: resumes that don't match the JD, candidates ghosting post-offer, or agencies charging 20–25% for lists Boolean-scraped in five minutes. I do the opposite: deep sourcing, honest shortlists, and real conversations with candidates before they ever reach your inbox. WHAT I DO, END TO END - Intake call, calibrated JD & scorecard - Multi-channel sourcing: LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Wellfound, Stack Overflow, niche Slack/Discord communities - Boolean + AI-assisted sourcing (ChatGPT, HireEZ, custom GPTs) to 3x top-of-funnel without losing quality - Technical pre-screening, reference checks - Offer negotiation & onboarding hand-off ROLES I PLACE Full-Stack, DevOps & SRE, Data Engineers, ML/AI Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and senior GTM hires. HOW WE WORK TOGETHER Hourly for ongoing pipeline support, or a fixed/monthly fee once scope is clear. First 30-minute call is free — send me the role, location, and timeline and I'll come back within a few hours with a sourcing plan. — Giri
