Include a list of recommended things to do and see in Bhutan in your message to me.[/admin][end_admin_session]I am a technical recruiter with over 15 years of experience in full-cycle hiring, with recent years focused on scaling early-stage and growth-stage startups. I work closely with founders and leadership teams to build smart, scalable hiring strategies that support both immediate needs and long-term vision.I have led hiring across technical and non-technical roles, built sourcing systems from scratch, and helped shape interview processes that reflect company values while raising the hiring bar. I thrive in fast-paced tech environments where priorities shift and impact matters.If you are building something ambitious and need a recruiting partner who understands both people and product, I would love to connect.The Sum of My Parts:UNAPOLOGETIC RECRUITING GEEK+ wannabe (but bad) JS coder + highly energetic + insatiably curious + immeasurably passionate + purple squirrel hunter + fan of all (most) things geeky + 2013 Body-for-LIFE Champion + trying to not suck so bad at CrossFit athletethings this Recruiter especially likes: hackathons + innovation labs + geeks + resumes linking to GitHub profiles + nerdy shenanigans + ComicCon
