About Michael Larkin

Driven technical sourcer and U.S. Army veteran with 4+ years of experience building high-impact cybersecurity and infrastructure teams for startups and high-growth tech companies.​I specialize in uncovering hard-to-find talent, running structured sourcing campaigns, and partnering closely with hiring managers to define what “great” actually looks like before going to market. From first outreach through signed offer, I focus on creating a clear, respectful candidate experience that reflects well on the brand and moves quickly without sacrificing quality.​My background in the U.S. Army shows up in how I work: disciplined execution, direct communication, and a bias for measurable outcomes. Whether it is building a net-new cybersecurity pipeline, mapping a niche infrastructure talent market, or helping an early-stage founder think through their first critical hires, the goal is the same: connect the right problem-solvers with the right problems.​Core focus areas include: cybersecurity talent, infrastructure and DevOps profiles, startup and growth-stage hiring, and remote-friendly teams.​If you are scaling a security or infrastructure team and want a partner who thinks like a builder, not a transaction, feel free to connect or reach out directly to compare notes on your current hiring challenges.
