I am a highly specialized Headhunter w/ a proven track record of excellence throughout my 10+ year career and over the past 8+ years as a full time independent recruiter and business owner of LionsEye Recruiting.
I work at the intersection of:
• 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 & 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀
(Seed, Series A, & Series B, or companies with an average of 10 to 200 employees)
• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀
(ERP consulting, digital transformation, MSPs, Big 4 & boutique firms)
My clients rely on me when they need HIGH IMPACT hires.
----
Primarily, I recruit for the following roles:
𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀
Roles: Account Executives (Enterprise & Commercial), BDRs, Sales Engineers, Sales Managers, & VPs of Sales / Chief Revenue Officers.
Focus Areas: My clients are typically looking for 'Hunters' whose primary focus is generating net new business. Many times (but not always), these are new territories, new products or new sales teams all together. Great sales reps are NOT on the job boards, so they must be strategically targeted through proactive outreach and building a strong network overtime.
𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵
Roles: Software Engineers (Frontend, Backend & Full Stack), Mobile Developers (iOS, Android), Solution Architects, DevOps Engineers, Cloud Architects, Software Engineering Managers.
Focus Areas: My clients often need highly autonomous tech talent, folks who are accustomed owning development from start to finish, which requires a vastly different mindset and skill set than someone working in a siloed role w/ a larger company. Along with this, I’ve spent 6+ years building a network of “the unicorns” of the tech world… folks who are excellent communicators w/ a strong understanding of the business to match their technical expertise.
𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽
Roles: VP of Sales, CRO, Managing Director, Practice Leader, Director of Technology, Director of Software Engineering
Focus Areas: Identifying leaders who can truly own a function or an entire business unit and drive outcomes. That means aligning every hire with the bigger picture... revenue growth, delivery excellence, and where the business is headed long term. The people I target have a proven track record of building and scaling teams, leading through complexity, and creating real, measurable impact inside the organizations they’ve been part of.
𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
Roles: Marketing Managers, Demand Generation Managers, SEO Specialists, Content Marketers Copywriters & Graphic Designers.
Focus Areas: Primarily, I recruit for metrics driven Marketers with a track record for driving revenue and folks w/ a strong background in Account Based Marketing (ABM). When working w/ startups, these individuals need to understand how all of the moving parts of a marketing org work together and often have to build out the full marketing ecosystem from the ground up.
Other experience includes:
- Product
- Customer Success / Customer Service
- Admin
- Operations
- Finance

Hello from Waco, TX! Hiring the right people shouldn’t take weeks of sorting resumes and chasing candidates.
I work as a hands-on recruiter, but with a major advantage — I use my own AI-powered hiring platform to screen, interview, and qualify candidates faster and more accurately than traditional recruiting methods.
What that means for you:
• I don’t send you stacks of resumes — I send you qualified candidates
• Candidates are pre-screened and often pre-interviewed before you ever speak to them
• You get faster turnaround times without sacrificing quality
What I handle:
• Sourcing candidates
• Screening and qualification
• AI-assisted interviews (phone/video)
• Shortlisting top candidates
• Coordinating next steps
You stay focused on choosing who to hire — I handle everything leading up to that.
I’ve worked with businesses that need to hire quickly and consistently, especially in:
• Automotive (service advisors, techs, managers)
• Skilled trades (HVAC, electrical, construction)
• High-volume and hard-to-fill roles
---
In addition to recruiting, I also help businesses improve their hiring and operational systems:
• Website Development (lead generation + hiring funnels)
• Web App Development (custom tools and dashboards)
• Custom CRM Development (track leads, customers, and pipelines)
• Custom ATS Development (tailored hiring systems built around your workflow)
---
If you’re:
• overwhelmed with applicants
• not getting the right candidates
• or need to hire quickly without the chaos
I can step in and take over the recruiting process while giving you a more efficient system behind the scenes.
Send me the role you’re hiring for and I’ll walk you through exactly how I’d approach it.
The following is a list of businesses I've successfully recruited for:
Filta Environment Kitchen Solutions - They hired me to recruit for a few of their franchisees, but I automated it to the point that I could handle recruiting/hiring for 70+ franchisees.
Take 5 Oil Change - Very similar to my experience with Filta. I started out recruiting for a handful of stores. I automated it resulting in recruiting for over 50 stores.
Hassles Free Home Services - I recruited Maintenance Techs for their fast-growing home maintenance company.
Seph Acquisitions - Recruited Mobile Mechanics. I automated 100% of this recruiting campaign.
Confidential Client - I recruited Customer Service Representatives for a P&C Insurance Agency.
Colorado Insurance - I recruited hundreds of Insurance Salespeople and automated about 50% of recruiting tasks.
Franklin Miller Manufacturing - I recruited dozens of workers for the manufacturing line.
Confidential Client - I recruited commission-only Pharmaceutical Representatives for a well-known genetics laboratory.
Consumer Debt Solutions, Inc. - I recruited hundreds of commission-only and salaried Sales Representatives, Customer Service, and Accounting professionals.
