Cindi Flores

I've supported Microsoft’s Silicon, Cloud Hardware, AI Infrastructure, and GTM organizations, recruiting senior ICs, principals, architects, directors, and executive leaders across highly specialized technical domains.

At Microsoft, I built sourcing strategies and pipelines for SoC/ASIC, firmware, hardware, cloud infrastructure, networking, platform security, diagnostics, and physical design roles. I partnered with leaders to clarify requirements, calibrate technical and leadership profiles, and use talent-market insights to guide hiring decisions.

I also bring full-cycle recruiting and executive-search experience from Microsoft and LinkedIn, where I supported high-volume sales hiring during rapid growth. Today, I provide fractional leadership hiring, principal-level recruiting, and coaching-oriented talent advisory support that helps teams improve role clarity, interviewing, and hiring outcomes.
