About Lisa Dembo

I love being a connector of people - a matchmaker. What makes a recruiter successful is having great listening skills, asking a lot of questions, spending the time to look for the right people for the right job for the right manager, using data to help with decisions, having strong communication/follow up skills, and having just a little bit of luck. Plus, having fun doing it all. Myself and my team currently support the hiring and recruiting of executive level software/SaaS technology leaders at Autodesk. Autodesk makes software for people who make things. If you’ve ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film, chances are you’ve experienced what millions of Autodesk customers are doing with our software. Autodesk gives you the power to make anything. For more information and open positions visit autodesk.com/careers. To see our culture in action, please check out #AutodeskLife on Instagram or facebook.com/autodeskcareers. Autodesk is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualied applicants without regard to race, gender, disability, veteran status or other protected category.
