When I started in tech recruiting 5 years ago, I thought it was all about matching resumes to job descriptions. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The perfect candidate? They don’t exist. After 9 months as Talent Acquisition Manager lemlist, here’s what I’ve learned: → It’s not about finding unicorns—it’s about people who fit your culture, believe in your mission, and push boundaries. → Resumes? They’re just the first step. The real value comes from people with the passion and drive to grow. Stop hunting for perfection. Focus on potential. That’s how your team levels up. Moving forward, I’m committing to: Real stories of hiring success (and failure) Tools & automation to streamline the process What works (and what doesn’t) in hiring What should I focus on? Drop your thoughts below—let’s build this journey together.

How can you forget this face....LOL! 😆 Most people know me as the pre-employment testing guy, and I'm here to help. 💼 Pre-employment testing is an integral part of your hiring process. It takes the guesswork out of hiring and digs a little deeper into candidates. There's nothing wrong with trying to learn more about people during hiring. 🔍 My superpower is helping you understand these assessments, and I work with my clients to debrief the results. For high-volume hiring, I also help companies establish benchmarks using analytics to hire with even more precision. 📊 20 years and going strong! 💪 I love to help, and we're here to do just that! 🙌

Common fear: “Nobody is hiring in August.” Are you sure? While some may hit pause until after Labor Day, now is the time to get ahead of the game. Let’s talk about partnerships, like my work with Draftboard. They’re my go-to for helping candidates. WHY? Because companies use this platform since some of the best candidates come from referrals. I maintain a focused list of clients—opting for quality over quantity. My inbound flow of qualified candidates often extends beyond my scope, so having another resource helps. I’ve curated a list of 117 jobs in tech, spanning various locations, sectors, and experience levels. Here’s what to do: 1. Find a position on my Draftboard that suits you and apply directly there. 2. Message me (briefly) with the job you’re interested in and why you’re a fit. 3. I’ll review your application. If it’s a match, I’ll approve it. Your application is fast-tracked to the hiring team through my HIGH score on the platform. Note: The process will differ from when we work together 1-1. You’ll go through the interview process directly with the company’s hiring team. DM me with any questions, and share this with friends who are looking! Link to the job board in the comments.

Working with a niched recruiter has so many benefits. As a client, you're getting an expert in the field. For example, we just picked up multiple software engineering roles this week. We already have a deep pipeline of fully vetted candidates that were already technically vetted and/or had references checked. In essence, we already had coverage to these roles the second they hit our inbox. As a candidate, you're working with someone who actually understands what you do. We're not just reading off a script and checking off the boxes. We're having a legitimate conversation about your background, pain points, motives, and how we can help move your career in the right direction.
