I help startups, enterprise organizations, and public sector teams build hard-to-find talent pipelines without having to build an entire recruiting function internally.
As a Technical Recruiting Lead with Prestige Development Group, I operate as an embedded extension of my clients' hiring teams, supporting everything from sourcing strategy and passive candidate outreach through screening, interview coordination, offer support, onboarding, and recruiting operations.
My background is rooted in technical recruiting, but my searches regularly span engineering, GTM, sales, marketing, operations, healthcare, and leadership.
What I Offer
✔ Full-Cycle Recruiting – Intake, sourcing, outreach, screening, candidate evaluation, interview coordination, offers, and onboarding.
✔ Passive Candidate Sourcing – I don't rely on applicants coming through job postings. I proactively identify and engage professionals who are already succeeding in their current roles.
✔ Technical Recruiting– Experienced recruiting across software engineering, AI/ML, cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure, IT project management, and specialized technical environments.
✔ Embedded Recruiting Support – I integrate directly into client workflows, ATS platforms, hiring-manager meetings, scorecards, reporting, and candidate communication.
✔ Recruiting Infrastructure – LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox AI, Ceipal, Workable, Indeed, advanced Boolean search, AI-assisted research, and a curated candidate database developed over more than a decade.
✔ Enterprise & Regulated Hiring – Experience supporting organizations including Johnson & Johnson, SMUD, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, UnitedHealth Group, McKesson Healthcare, and government contracting environments.

My approach is quality over volume. I focus on understanding the actual business problem behind a hire, identifying where the right talent exists, engaging passive candidates with personalized outreach, and presenting candidates I can genuinely recommend.
Whether you need help with one difficult search or an embedded recruiting engine that can scale alongside your hiring needs, I'm comfortable becoming an extension of your team.
