I build recruiting engines that scale. Not just fill reqs. For the past 10+ years, I've partnered with founders, executives, and hiring teams to turn talent acquisition into a measurable business function: faster hires, lower cost, higher quality, and a candidate experience that closes top talent before competitors know they're looking. I have scaled the recruiting function and brought companies from ~50 to nearly 250 employees, driving results that consistently outperform industry benchmarks. 2025 Results (YoY) • 268% increase in full-time hires, 38% fewer exits, same headcount • 52% reduction in time to fill (20 days vs. 36-day industry benchmark) • 98% offer acceptance rate • 93% hiring manager satisfaction vs. 85-90% industry benchmark What I've recently built • TA Command Center: live recruiting intelligence system integrating Greenhouse, Slack, and Google Drive via API and Zapier across five embedded dashboards (Pipeline Health, Hiring Efficiency, Source Effectiveness, Financial Impact, Recruiter Efficiency) • Recruiting Claude Agent: AI automation suite cutting HM recruiting bandwidth by 50%+ and recruiter admin by 60%, with purpose-built tools for JD generation, scorecards, interview prep, candidate scoring, and fraud detection • Contract-to-hire model saving ~$50K per quarter in external search spend and OPEX • Cost per hire reduced from $20K+ to under $4.7K Recognized: Best HR Teams 2024
