Executive Recruiter | Tech, Sales, GTM | Startups & Consulting Firms

Are you a startup or consulting firm looking to do one of the following? ✓ Hire for highly specialized, industry specific roles that require targeted research and proactive outreach ✓ Hire urgently and quickly or make a large hiring push ✓ Add flexible support to supplement your internal recruiting team ✓ Build a long term recruitment strategy and HR organization aligned w/ industry best practices Then look no further for the spark you need to take your business to the next level! ---- 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗲 I am a highly specialized Headhunter w/ a proven track record of excellence throughout my 10+ year career and over the past 8+ years as a full time independent recruiter and business owner of LionsEye Recruiting. I work at the intersection of: • 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 & 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 (Seed, Series A, & Series B, or companies with an average of 10 to 200 employees) • 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 (ERP consulting, digital transformation, MSPs, Big 4 & boutique firms) My clients rely on me when they need HIGH IMPACT hires. ---- Primarily, I recruit for the following roles: 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 Roles: Account Executives (Enterprise & Commercial), BDRs, Sales Engineers, Sales Managers, & VPs of Sales / Chief Revenue Officers. Focus Areas: My clients are typically looking for 'Hunters' whose primary focus is generating net new business. Many times (but not always), these are new territories, new products or new sales teams all together. Great sales reps are NOT on the job boards, so they must be strategically targeted through proactive outreach and building a strong network overtime. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 Roles: Software Engineers (Frontend, Backend & Full Stack), Mobile Developers (iOS, Android), Solution Architects, DevOps Engineers, Cloud Architects, Software Engineering Managers.  Focus Areas: My clients often need highly autonomous tech talent, folks who are accustomed owning development from start to finish, which requires a vastly different mindset and skill set than someone working in a siloed role w/ a larger company. Along with this, I’ve spent 6+ years building a network of “the unicorns” of the tech world… folks who are excellent communicators w/ a strong understanding of the business to match their technical expertise. 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 Roles: VP of Sales, CRO, Managing Director, Practice Leader, Director of Technology, Director of Software Engineering Focus Areas: Identifying leaders who can truly own a function or an entire business unit and drive outcomes. That means aligning every hire with the bigger picture... revenue growth, delivery excellence, and where the business is headed long term. The people I target have a proven track record of building and scaling teams, leading through complexity, and creating real, measurable impact inside the organizations they’ve been part of. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 Roles: Marketing Managers, Demand Generation Managers, SEO Specialists, Content Marketers Copywriters & Graphic Designers. Focus Areas: Primarily, I recruit for metrics driven Marketers with a track record for driving revenue and folks w/ a strong background in Account Based Marketing (ABM). When working w/ startups, these individuals need to understand how all of the moving parts of a marketing org work together and often have to build out the full marketing ecosystem from the ground up.
