About Erin Zuehlsdorff

I landed in recruiting by chance and it was destiny! I’m the one who matches couples and friends in new cities, calls you when something is on sale that I know you’d love, the person who brings people together just because it makes me happy. I want to be a node, to connect people, to help them on their way. Focused on Cloud & Google Product Management Hiring: Top External Talent (AI focused, creative head hunting, mapping, cutting through red tape, ideation, action, and iteration), candidate experience (internal & external), and hiring process improvements & driving alignment across Google stakeholders.I love helping people identify their gifts, challenging them to grow, and shine. My leadership superpowers are driving results on a timeline, strong self-belief, and a growth mindset. I focus distributed global teams on the end goals, break down the steps, ensure clear accountability, and milestones that ensure success, on time. Along the way I cheer people on, coach them, and remind them that we can do hard things. With ruthless prioritization, empathy, encouragement, and hard work, anything is possible. Frequent #iamremarkable, internal mobility, branding, and career workshop facilitator to empower others to speak openly and skillfully about their accomplishments, define, and reach their goals.Everyday, rain or shine, you can find me walking around the neighborhood, the beach, or the mountain with my kids, my dog, or a friend.**The opinions stated here are my own, not those of my company.**
