WORK HISTORY

ABOUT KELLY REYES

With 6+ years of experience building and scaling recruiting across tech and GTM functions, I specialize in full-cycle hiring for high-growth SaaS and fintech companies. I’ve led end-to-end recruiting across engineering, sales, marketing, product, legal, finance, and HR — consistently delivering 10–12 hires per quarter while outperforming company benchmarks (30-day avg. time-to-fill vs. 38-day company average).I bring a builder mindset to recruiting, with hands-on experience helping stand up and scale recruiting functions from 0–1. From designing structured interview processes and SOPs to launching internship and early-career programs, I focus on creating repeatable systems that improve both speed and quality of hire. I’m also a strong sourcing operator, maintaining a 44% LinkedIn response rate and driving ~30% of hires directly from outbound efforts.Beyond execution, I operate as a strategic partner to hiring leaders and executives, aligning talent strategy to business goals, improving funnel health through data and forecasting, and elevating candidate experience. I’m deeply passionate about inclusive hiring and have led initiatives to reduce bias and expand representation across pipelines.I’m highly fluent in modern recruiting tech and AI-enabled workflows (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Brighthire, Granola, ChatGPT), and I actively implement tools that increase efficiency and signal quality across the hiring lifecycle. At my core, I’m motivated by building scalable, human-centered recruiting engines that help companies grow thoughtfully and competitively.
