About Leah Metz
I have a track record of success placing in-demand candidates in highly competitive markets. I bring a high EQ and strong professional sensibility that helps me engage candidates and partner successfully with HM\'s and C-suite executives. Whether as a TA leader or Recruiter, a common thread throughout my career has been excelling in fast-paced environments with limited resources: being flexible, adapting to new responsibilities, quickly developing new skills and doing so with an all-hands-on-deck mentality.The thing about my work that gives me so much joy and satisfaction is building a team that positively impacts the world.
Experience
Head of Talent
Aug 2025 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US
As Head of Talent at Stand Insurance, I lead the strategy and execution of hiring for the company’s founding team—building the bench across technical, operational, and underwriting roles.Stand is a Series B insurance tech startup reimagining homeowners insurance for climate-exposed, high-value properties—starting with wildfire zones in California. Stand\'s unique approach blends aerospace-grade computational fluid dynamics, wildfire physics, and AI-enabled digital twins to transform insurance from reactive pricing to proactive risk mitigation.Hiring at Series B isn\'t about volume—it’s about precision. The right 5–10 hires lay the groundwork for product velocity, underwriting accuracy, and long-term resilience. I partner closely with the founding team to identify and attract mission-driven talent who can operate in complexity, think across disciplines, and scale fast with an emphasis on owning outcomes.
