Technical recruitment leader specializing in software, cloud, data, and AI/ML talent—built for complex hiring.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned technical recruiter and recruitment leader with extensive experience hiring software, cloud, data, and AI/ML engineering talent across agency and in-house environments—from startups and scale ups to mid and large enterprise organizations.
I’m known as a proven 360 recruiter who builds passive candidate pipelines, partners closely with technical leadership, and scales technical hiring for complex teams. I deliver strong candidate engagement and active sourcing strategies to win in highly competitive technical markets.
In my current role as AVP of Recruitment for Government Services at James Scott Group, I lead full cycle technical recruiting and business development across federal and defense programs supporting cleared engineering hiring. I’ve generated $900K in annual billings through 25 technical placements and managed 100+ active technical requisitions, recruiting specialists holding Secret through TS/SCI Full Scope and CI Poly clearances.
Previously at Amazon AWS, I served as a Technical Recruiter L5, leading end-to-end recruiting for complex cloud and software engineering roles and consistently averaging 2 technical placements per month with time to fill of 6–10 weeks. Earlier at Michael Page, I operated as a Senior Technical Recruiter (full desk 360), generating approximately $750K annually and placing mid-senior and leadership engineering talent—while maintaining aggressive outreach and submission metrics.
