Head of Technical Recruiting
San Diego, California, United States
Hey, I’m Jaime (Spanish pronunciation). I’m currently the Head of Technical Recruiting at Zapier and lead global hiring across technical and product roles in a remote-first, async world. I spend most of my time in the messy middle where business priorities shift, hiring goals stay the same, and everyone wants it done yesterday. It’s tough, but I like the challenge.
While I've had success, I'm consistently striving to up my game on:
● Recruiting strategy that’s tied to what the business actually needs
● Scaling teams without quietly lowering the bar
● Building high-impact recruiting teams (I’ve led recruiting + sourcing teams up to 16)
● Global remote hiring that’s structured, human, and doesn’t collapse being async
I’ve recently helped drive Zapier’s most aggressive hiring effort (thanks to an immensely incredible and talented team), and I’m also deep in the work of exploring AI adoption + tools that increase team leverage and set us up for long-term success.
As a leader, I’m empathetic and direct. I ask a lot of questions because I like to make sure I have the right context. I’m big on ownership and strong managing up, and share the “bad news should travel faster than good news” mantra of many leaders. I’ll back my team, unblock hard stuff, and be a coach. I’ll communicate very directly and appreciate the same.
If you’re trying to scale EPD teams and looking to build strategies that make recruiting a real advantage it’d be great to connect! I’d happy to share what I’ve learned, but it'd be even better to learn from you.
