Hire the Best Recruiters in New York

Hi, I’m Keynisha, a full-desk recruiter, sourcer, and resume writer with over 13 years of experience building technical teams at places like Microsoft, American Express, and early-stage startups. I’ve worked across the stack: backend, frontend, DevOps, cloud, data, and Web3. I know how hiring really works because I’ve been in the room; writing the job descriptions, screening the candidates, and closing the offers. If you’re a people ops lead with a full desk or you're a software engineer tired of the resume they wrote for you in careers services, I’ll help you cut through the noise. Here’s what I bring to the table: ✅ Technical Recruiting & Sourcing: Full-cycle hiring for engineering, product, GTM and data teams. Strong track record in hard-to-fill roles. I’ve hired in NYC, SF, Vancouver, and global remote-first orgs. ✅ Resume Writing & LinkedIn Optimization: ATS-friendly, recruiter-tested resumes that actually get callbacks. Clear, tailored messaging that highlights your skills. ✅ Hiring Strategy for Startups: I help early-stage companies build and execute their first hiring process (or clean up the one that’s not working). ✅ Job Search Support: Not sure what roles to target? Need help figuring out your niche? I’ve helped dozens of candidates get clarity and land roles they were excited about. Who I work with: 🔹 Startup leaders who need a scrappy, strategic recruiter to source, screen, strategize, and close 🔹 Tech professionals (engineers, PMs, designers, data folks) who need targeted resumes and improve interview performance 🔹 HR & People teams who need interim help with process improvements, hiring roadmaps, or candidate experience audits Why it works: Because I treat every engagement like a partnership. I'll roll up my sleeves and dive into your existing tools and processes. I'll listen to your career goals and help build confidence in your story. I’m here to get results, and I bring the strategy, clarity, and precision to make it happen. Let’s talk about what you’re building or where you’re headed. ⚒️ Skills: Tech Recruiter | Tech Recruitment | Hiring Manager | Candidate Sourcer | IT Recruiter | IT Recruitment | ATS Optimization | Sourcing & Talent Mapping | Boolean Searches | LinkedIn Recruiter | Market Mapping & Industry Research | Candidate Screening | Job Description Writing| Interview Process Design | Tech Interviews | Offer Negotiation & Closing | Onboarding & Retention | Diversity & Inclusion (DEI) | Resume Writing | Resume | Resume Design | Resume Development | Cover Letter Writing | LinkedIn Development | LinkedIn Profile Creation | LinkedIn Recruiting | Candidate Interviewing | Candidate Sourcing | CV | Editing & Proofreading | English | Proofreading | Resume Development | Resume Screening | LinkedIn Profile Optimization | Recruiting | Career Coaching

I am a writer that focuses on resumes, LinkedIn profiles, cover letters, corporate bios, and various business content (websites, marketing materials) for clients. I also have expertise in job search tactics and strategy and offer clients help via one-on-one coaching services over video call or phone. My specialty is technology resumes for the US market targeting start ups (Silicon Valley / San Francisco Bay Area and across the US) with many successes at big name companies (Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, FAANG, et al.). I've also written hundreds of resumes and CVs for global clients from CEO to junior roles across industries including law, marketing, finance, entertainment, and healthcare. My technology clients range from CTO and CIO level, entrepreneurs and founders, product managers, data scientists, software engineers, project managers, infosec, testers, etc. I'm different than most resume writers in that I have 20 years of hiring experience as a recruiter for US startups, so I have deep knowledge of the resume's intended audience. I know how the mind of a recruiter functions - why they stop reading a resume, what gets their interest, etc. - and I leverage that expertise when writing for my clients. I have had many articles on tech career topics (resumes, interviews, markets) published and/or cited by Lifehacker, Fast Company, WSJ Online, American Management Association, Tech Beacon, DZone, et al. My former blog (now inactive) is JobTipsForGeeks.com, and I published a job search ebook Job Tips For Geeks: The Job Search (available on Amazon). I'm 'fecak' on Hacker News and active on Reddit's /r/resumes as 'resumeraidersDOTcom' where I help job seekers with targeted advice on resumes and job search strategy. I'm also a former moderator at /r/cscareerquestions under my own handle 'fecak'. Please have a look at my Upwork history and reach out if you have any questions.
