About Steve Counterman

With over 15 years of extensive recruiting experience, I have spent the last seven years making a significant impact in the technology and product talent acquisition space. As the Founder of Divergent Talent, my mission is to bridge exceptional talent with leading companies in these dynamic sectors. During my tenure as a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at WW (formerly Weight Watchers), I played a pivotal role in building high-performing teams in areas such as Data Science, Data Analytics, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, and Product Management. This experience allowed me to understand the nuances of recruiting for diverse roles within the technology and product landscape. My journey continued at Meta (formerly Facebook), where I served as a Lead Technical Recruiter/Sourcer for Software Engineering and ML Engineering. Here, I not only recruited top-tier talent but also championed diversity, equity, and inclusion. These experiences have solidified my commitment to delivering top talent to organizations while fostering a culture of inclusivity and innovation.
