About Thomas Ostrow

Hi there!If you’re here, it\'s probably because I\'ve reached out, and you\'re curious who I am.I specialize in partnering with early-stage startups and have a passion for helping founding teams scale with intention. I’m a technical recruiter with a proven track record of building high-performing teams across engineering, infrastructure, and data, mostly in fast-paced, high-growth environments. I’ve helped companies build the foundation of their technical teams, from first engineering hires to scaling critical infrastructure and data roles. Along the way, I’ve designed recruiting processes, closed urgent searches, and brought structure to early hiring when every decision counts.I bring a founder-minded approach to recruitment that focuses on speed, quality, and long-term alignment. I pride myself on being hands-on, data-informed, and relentlessly candidate-centric.I care deeply about candidate experience, integrity in hiring, and making sure recruiting supports the broader goals of the business. Whether it’s scaling a founding engineering team or closing niche technical roles under pressure, I bring consistency, creativity, and curiosity to every search.A bit about me:I’m based in Pennsylvania but have built teams across the US. I come from a background in sales, non-profits, and even wilderness guiding, all of which shaped my approach to people-first recruiting. Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking, performing music, or chasing down new DIY projects.(We just built a chicken coop this year, wish me luck)Let’s build something great together.Feel free to shoot me a message and say hi._About TennrToday, when you go to your doctor and get referred to a specialist, your doctor sends out a referral and tells you, “They’ll be in touch soon.” So you wait. And wait. Sometimes days, weeks, or even months. Why? Because too often providers are overwhelmed with the painstakingly tedious work required to get paid by insurance companies. Powered by proprietary models, Tennr handles the complex paperwork that gets patients through the door and providers paid, helping operators to capture more referrals, cut denials, and reduce care delays.
