Two-second summary: I am a former SMMA founder with extensive amounts of experience developing and deploying end-to-end outbound systems that quickly scaled me to over $10k/mo. 👋 My work has generated over $520,000 in revenue and booked 500+ meetings for my clients, including Volvo, Mercedes, and Mini Cooper partners. ------ The long version: I'm Matthew. Most of my clients tell me that they chose to work with me for my passion and cheerful energy. Before entering the consulting space, I ran a Social Media Marketing Agency in Toronto, Canada. Our work revolved around developing and deploying custom marketing strategies based on extensive industry research. Through this process, I quickly found an all-around blueprint to marketing and outbound as a whole, "Test, Optimize, Scale". I then used said framework to build my outbound system, which brought in just over $12k in 30 days. I then took an exit and began doing the same for other businesses. Over time, I have had the privilege of working with and gaining a deep understanding of quite a number of different industries. Including: - e-commerce brands/businesses - manufacturing businesses - digital Saas startups - medical Industries - online course companies When you work with me on Upwork, you receive clean, practical outbound & automation systems designed around your actual business process and not overcomplicated tech for the sake of tech. Every system is built with clear logic, reliable integrations, and a focus on saving time, improving follow-up, and turning more leads into booked calls or revenue. I build because I genuinely enjoy the process. I’m great at it, and it lets me combine strategy, systems thinking, and automation into work that actually creates leverage for businesses. I also provide exceptional value to my clients at fair rates, and my goal is always long-term improvement rather than quick, surface-level fixes. I’m sincerely looking forward to helping build something useful for your business. Let me know if you have any questions or want to share more details, and we’ll connect. Cheers, Matthew P.S. — Even if your exact niche or ICP isn’t listed in my profile, I still encourage you to reach out. I enjoy understanding new industries and figuring out where systems can create the most leverage, so I’m flexible when the project makes sense for both of us.

I'm an HR recruiter who turns hiring headaches into hiring wins. Need an IT recruiter who actually delivers? I've helped tech companies cut time-to-hire by 32-46% while improving candidate quality - not sacrificing it. What I do as a Recruiter🎯 As your IT recruiting and talent sourcing partner, I handle everything from LinkedIn recruiting to executive search. I'm a headhunter and talent acquisition specialist who fills engineering, product, C-level, and go-to-market roles for Web3, SaaS, fintech, blockchain, and cybersecurity companies worldwide. My recruiter approach combines aggressive candidate sourcing with a systematic process. I function as your virtual assistant for recruitment operations - managing sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and onboarding. This recruiter doesn't just send resumes and vanish. Services & Recruitment Expertise 💼 📌IT Recruiting & Technical Talent Sourcing: As your dedicated Talent Sourcer, Recruiter, HR and Headhunter, I build industry-specific candidate pipelines through advanced LinkedIn recruiting, Boolean search mastery, competitor mapping, and community infiltration. My talent acquisition strategies reach passive candidates your competitors miss. 📌Full-Cycle Recruitment Management: Beyond candidate sourcing, I coordinate interviews, conduct video prescreens, align stakeholders, and maintain weekly pipeline monitoring. Think recruiter + virtual assistant + HR partner in one. 📌Executive Search & Leadership Hiring: When recruiting senior talent, I bring headhunter-level discretion and sophisticated compensation negotiation. My executive search methodology targets CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Chief Product Officers, and technical founders with proven scaling experience. 📌Interview Calibration & Hiring Process Optimization: This recruiter builds standardized assessment protocols, ensuring consistent evaluation criteria across your team. Better interview-to-offer ratios through systematic talent acquisition, not guesswork. Real Recruiter Results 📊 My IT recruiting and talent sourcing track record: ⚡ 46% faster hiring velocity for precision equipment tech company (3 placements) ⚡ 33% time-to-hire improvement for data security software firm ⚡ 32% faster closes for advertising tech platform ⚡ 21-day average fill time across concurrent recruitment engagements ⚡ Built a sustainable hiring infrastructure enabling 10x growth scalability These numbers come from disciplined recruiter execution - aggressive candidate sourcing, relentless LinkedIn recruiting, and headhunter persistence regardless of market difficulty. Technical Recruiting Specializations 🚀 Engineering Roles: As an IT recruiter specializing in technical talent sourcing, I fill full-stack developers, blockchain engineers, protocol architects, DevOps specialists, security researchers, and technical co-founders. Product & Growth: My recruiting expertise covers product managers, growth marketers, agile coaches, business development leaders, and go-to-market executives. Executive Search: When you need C-level talent acquisition, I, as a headhunter, deliver, targeting leadership with proven track records in competitive markets. How I Work as Your Recruiter 🤝 I integrate as your embedded talent sourcer and HR Recruiter, not a distant vendor. You get weekly pipeline reviews, proactive problem-solving, and transparent candidate sourcing metrics. My LinkedIn recruiting, interview coordination, and offer management run seamlessly alongside your internal recruitment team. As both recruiter and virtual assistant for recruitment operations, I handle the administrative burden - job descriptions, ATS management, candidate experience, hiring analytics - so your leadership focuses on evaluation and selection. Why Choose Me As An IT Recruiter? ✨ Specialized Headhunter Focus: I'm not a generalist recruiter dabbling in IT recruiting. I exclusively serve tech companies competing for scarce technical talent. My candidate sourcing channels reflect years of relationship-building in specific communities. Complete Talent Acquisition Ownership: You're hiring a recruiter who owns the entire process -assessment design, interview calibration, reference checks, offer negotiation, closing support. Not just LinkedIn profiles dumped in your inbox. Speed Meets Quality: My talent sourcing balances headhunter urgency with thorough evaluation. Aggressive recruitment timelines don't compromise candidate quality. Every engagement maintains the same standard of excellence. Long-Term HR Partnership: Post-hire, I support onboarding and provide replacement guarantees. This recruiter relationship extends beyond signatures into an ongoing talent acquisition partnership. Ready to Hire Smarter? 💪 If your hiring velocity lags expectations, if candidate sourcing produces generic applicants, or if you lack a dedicated recruiter, let's fix it. Your competition already has its recruiter advantage. Time to build yours. 🎯

Hi, I'm Noah 👋 I build the custom AI and automation systems for businesses like AI-powered lead gen and outbound, custom AI agents, and the workflows that wire everything together. → I built an AI-powered outbound & lead-gen system for a large healthcare recruitment agency → I grew my AI automation brand to 16k+ followers and 6M+ views in under a year, with 100+ paying members → Certified Gold Retell AI Partner View my portfolio below to see what I've built. Let's talk! ——— The longer version: Good to meet you! I'm Noah, the technical half of SixFlow Automations. I'm the one who turns "can you build X?" into a system that actually works, and keeps working after handoff. My background is in engineering. I spent years designing, programming, and validating real hardware and software — controlling autonomous robots, building data pipelines, publishing research tools — before going full-time into AI and automation. That training is the difference between a build that breaks the first time it hits an edge case and one that runs quietly for months. What I build: Internal process automations Pipeline & follow-up systems Data & research workflows AI-powered lead generation & outbound Custom API integrations Voice AI agents (Gold Retell AI Partner) If your project touches AI or automation, I can probably build it and if a simple off-the-shelf tool would serve you better than a custom build, I'll tell you that straight. No overselling, no charging you for complexity you don't need. When you hire me, you're hiring the person who actually builds it, not a middleman who outsources the work. You get technical answers directly from the person writing the code, and you stay in contact with me after handoff, because I'm the one who knows the system inside out. Send me a message and let's talk through what you're trying to build. Cheers, Noah P.S. — Working with a tool, platform, or problem I didn't list? Still worth a message. Figuring out new systems is most of the job, and I love it.
