Carlos “Los” López

Recruiter with 7+ years of experience helping high-growth startups scale teams across healthcare, technology, and mission-driven organizations. I've delivered 350+ hires across Clinical, GTM, Operations, and Technical functions, partnering closely with founders, VPs, and hiring managers to build the teams that power the next stage of growth.

My approach is simple: move fast, stay human, and build pipelines that reflect the communities the companies I work with are trying to serve. I care about the candidate experience as much as the hiring outcome.

What I bring:

AI-forward, full-cycle recruiting across healthcare and mission-driven startups from Series A through Series E
93% offer acceptance rate and a 34-day average screen-to-offer — well ahead of the 44-day industry time-to-fill median (Gem, 2026 Recruiting Benchmarks)
High-volume execution — 250+ field hires in 9 months and up to 16 active reqs at a time
Deep sourcing toolkit — Boolean, AI-assisted sourcing, LinkedIn Recruiter, and community-based outreach
ATS fluency across Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Gem, and Workday
DEI-focused hiring with measurable diversity outcomes across every engagement

Before recruiting, I served in the United States Air Force as an EMT and as a Law Enforcement Officer with the City of Oakland. That background shaped how I show up, with discipline, accountability, and a genuine commitment to mission-driven work.

I'm currently open to full-time and contract opportunities with companies building something meaningful in healthcare, technology, or social impact.
