Tech Recruiter | Tech Career Coach & Resume Writer | Ex-Microsoft

As an ex-Microsoft recruiter with 14 years of experience, I bridge the gap between hiring teams and top-tier talent. Whether you are a startup leader struggling to build a scalable hiring engine or a tech professional looking to secure your next high-impact role, I provide the strategic edge needed to cut through the noise. What I bring to the table: ✅ Hiring Strategy for Startups: I help early-stage companies design, execute, and optimize hiring processes from the ground up, ensuring you attract and close elite talent without the operational drag. ✅ Full-Cycle Recruiting & Sourcing: I specialize in hard-to-fill roles across engineering, product, data, and GTM. With a background in startups and enterprise orgs I use advanced sourcing techniques (Boolean, X-Ray, and market mapping) to identify passive candidates and maintain high-velocity pipelines. ✅ Recruiter-Grade Resume Writing & Career Coaching: I create ATS-friendly resumes that get you callbacks. As someone who has reviewed thousands of profiles, I know exactly what hiring managers are looking for. I provide tailored messaging that highlights your specific impact and helps you walk into interviews with total confidence. Who I work with: 🔹 HR & People Leaders: Need interim support for process improvements, hiring roadmaps, or candidate experience audits? I offer the precision of an in-house expert without the overhead. 🔹 Startup Founders: Need a scrappy, strategic recruiter to own the entire talent lifecycle? I help you build teams that can scale. 🔹 Tech Professionals: Tired of your resume not hitting the mark? I help engineers, PMs, and designers translate their technical achievements into compelling narratives that win offers. Why work with me? I treat every engagement as a true partnership. I roll up my sleeves to audit your processes, analyze your metrics, and refine your story. My goal is simple: to deliver the strategy, clarity, and results you need to move to the next level. Let’s talk about what you’re building or where you’re headed—send me a message to get started.
