• Partner closely with hiring managers and business leaders to understand hiring objectives and talent needs

• Background supporting hiring within organizations such as Accenture, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, Google, Meta, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, or similar environments
• Experience partnering with leadership teams during periods of growth or transformation
• Prior experience serving as a strategic talent advisor rather than solely executing recruitment transactions

They understand how to assess technical talent, partner with hiring managers, and drive hiring outcomes in competitive markets.
