About Casey Garrett

After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree I joined a small recruiting firm in Utah that focused on hiring for startups in Silicon Valley. I spent nearly 10 years recruiting for various companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. A couple of notable startups I worked with include a startup acquired by Teradata that was building a database appliance. I enjoyed recruiting database kernel engineers and candidates that had deep expertise in databases. I reached out to a lot of candidates at Oracle, IBM, Sybase, Informix among other database vendors. Another interesting startup I worked with was a genomics company based in Mountain View that was bringing the cost of DNA analysis down to the range back in 20••••08. They had very complex software/hardware solutions and I placed some of the best and brightest software engineers of my career with them. They were storing Multi-Petabytes of data and doing image analysis.Around 2010 I had the opportunity to join a Utah based custom software development company. My focus there was primarily around hiring software engineers. SolutionStream builds complex web and mobile applications working in many different programming languages and technologies. From there I joined a Fintech company (Doma) revolutionizing the real estate transaction process. I recruited a talented team of Product Managers at Doma.At Ketch I was the Lead Recruiter. Ketch is solving complex problems at the intersection of AI and Data Privacy. Ketch is a Series A startup based in San Francisco. Although I worked remotely I attended many live company events. For 2 years at Ketch, I spearheaded the recruiting efforts, bringing on board exceptional talent across various job functions.A couple of contracts later and I am working with a team of seasoned SaaS / Adtech entrepreneurs with deep tech expertise and successful exits working on the next big thing at the intersection of genAI and ML-driven performance marketing.On a more personal note I am the Father to 3 wonderful children. They are my why. We have 3 dogs. A black German Shepherd that my son has spent countless hours training so she is very well behaved. We also have a Blue Heeler. As a puppy she chased down a car and lost a leg. She has three legs - in other words a \"Tri-Pawed\". You’d never know she is missing a leg when you watch her zip around the yard. She gets around just fine. Finally a \"chi-weenie\". Mix of Chihuahua and Weiner dog. Happiest lil guy you\'ll ever meet.Recruiting isn\'t just a job for me-It\'s my passion.
