About Megan Hanson

As a technical recruiter, I’m passionate about connecting talented people with opportunities where they can truly thrive. I believe great recruiting goes beyond matching skills on a résumé—it’s about understanding the person behind it and finding the right environment for them to grow. I approach every conversation with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for the people I work with. My goal is to create meaningful outcomes on both sides: helping candidates advance their careers while supporting companies in building strong, healthy teams. At the end of the day, recruiting is about relationships. I’m proud to play a small role in shaping the future of technology—one thoughtful connection at a time.
