Tech Recruiter - Acquirer of High Performance Talent

RESULTS I DELIVER
• Better quality search results. If you are pitting one firm against another, they will race against each other (for a brief while) to get resumes to you as quickly as possible. Because of the imposed urgency, you are likely to see a number of unqualified resumes. Non-exclusive recruiters often hope to get lucky and hit a match, rather than putting in the effort to screen properly.

•  Deeper and broader search. Committing to one recruiter will allow that recruiter to spend the time to network and headhunt to uncover the very best candidate for your requirements, rather than just pulling resumes out of a database.

•  Less work for the hiring manager. If you are working with multiple search firms, you will get a lot more resumes than you would working with just one recruiter. However, many of those resumes will not match your hiring needs, which just makes more work for the hiring manager. Not to mention time spent sorting out candidate ownership disputes between multiple firms.

•  Better candidate experience. Have you ever received the same resume from more than one recruiter? It can make your company look unprofessional if more than one recruiter interviews a candidate about the same job. And you may see some great candidates back out of the process entirely when multiple firms are involved.

•  Confidentiality. For a confidential search, working with more than one recruiting firm makes no sense. It will be impossible for a recruiter to keep the company name confidential if there are multiple search firms involved.

The counteroffer is an insult dressed up as respect.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂.
They're buying time to replace you.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰.

I've watched this pattern for 30+ years. Someone gets another offer. Suddenly the budget appears. The promotion that was "not possible" becomes available. The manager who had no time clears their calendar.

Here's the truth: the problem that made you look doesn't disappear with more money.

More money doesn't fix a bad manager.
A new title doesn't fix a broken culture.
Promises don't fix neglect.

You already mentally left. The counteroffer just delays it.

Most people who accept are gone within 6-18 months anyway (anecdotal evidence). Because nothing actually changed except the number on your paycheck.

And you burned the bridge with the company that wanted you without leverage.

Here's what I tell every candidate: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿. Companies will always do what's in their best interest. You need to do what's in yours.

Take the new job.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘄?
You've been asking yourself
this for six months.

𝗜𝗳 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲. New company, new politics, new proof required.

𝗜𝗳 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲. Same dead-end projects, same empty promises, same salary you've outgrown.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲.

I know. You're waiting for a sign. Waiting for the promotion they keep delaying. Waiting for the market to feel safer. Waiting for permission.

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄.

Here's the sign: your manager hasn't mentioned your promotion in eight months. The "high-visibility project" went to someone else. You're doing director work at senior pay.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸.

That's the pattern you're living in. Monday your VP says you're "essential." Wednesday you're excluded from the strategy meeting. Friday they hire someone external for the role you were building toward.

You already know the answer.

You're just afraid of being wrong.

But staying when the data says go isn't safe. It's expensive. You're leaving $40K on the table every year you wait. You're losing skills because you're not being challenged. You're getting older in a market that rewards movement.

𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗺 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲?

You're asking the wrong people. Your company won't tell you. Your manager can't tell you. The market already has.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗲, 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲.

Your company already answered. They're just not saying it out loud.

𝗦𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝘄?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟮. You know it now.

Stop waiting for perfect timing. It doesn't exist.

The ones who move when the data says move are three levels higher. The ones who wait for certainty are still waiting.

No alternative text description for this image

Everyone keeps saying it's an employer's market.
Unemployment sits at 4.4%. Your inbox is fuller than it's been in months.

So yeah, on paper it looks like you're in the driver's seat.

Except your critical roles are still open. Delivery keeps slipping. And the talent shortages in IT, healthcare, and energy are sitting at 76-77%.

If this were really an employer's market, those numbers wouldn't exist.

Here's what's actually happening.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁. The inbox is full of people who can do the job adequately. They'll show up. They'll execute tasks. They won't move the needle.

The people who can actually solve your problems? They're not flooding your applicant tracking system. They're working. And they're watching you.

They see the hesitation. The reluctance to commit to headcount even though placements doubled in February. The AI-driven layoffs that are cutting faster than you're building capability.

They're unimpressed.

You're posting roles, then pulling back. You're interviewing in rounds that stretch for weeks. You're asking for another stakeholder meeting while your competitor makes an offer.

The best talent doesn't wait for you to get comfortable. They take the role that moves.

I've watched this pattern for 30 years. Companies mistake activity for advantage. More applications doesn't mean better hires. It just means more noise.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗹. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯?

An hour later: Meetings continue without you.
A week later: Someone steps up.
A month later: Shortcuts appear.
A year later: You're a footnote.

And that's the truth.

If quitting feels like erasing yourself, you didn't lose security.
You lost an identity you outsourced to an employer.

I've watched this for 30 years.
𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆.

Ready to build that career? DM me.

𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱.

And you're doing it backwards.

Here's what you're wasting time on:

Memorizing answers to "tell me about yourself"

Practicing responses to common behavioral questions

Reading the company's mission statement and values page over & over.

Rehearsing why you want to work there

None of that separates you.

Here's what actually matters:

All hiring is reactive. Something isn't working. Revenue is flat. A team is overloaded. A system is broken. Someone quit.

Your job isn't to recite your background.

It's to prove you can solve their specific problem.

Real prep looks like this:

Research what's actually broken. Read their earnings calls, press releases, Glassdoor reviews. Find the pain.

Prepare questions that show you understand their reality. Not "what's the culture like?" Ask "what's the biggest bottleneck in your current process?"

Connect your past work to their current problem. Show the before and after. Make it concrete.

Stop memorizing scripts.

Start thinking like someone who already has the job.

That's what hiring managers notice.

That's what gets offers.

graphical user interface, text, chat or text message

I'm working an executive search when my client pivots mid-call.
"𝗪𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟰𝟳 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗢𝗽𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀."

I'm thinking this could be my next search. Then I hear his reasoning.

First candidate: "Didn't demonstrate enough AI literacy."

I pause. "What does AI literacy mean for a DevOps Engineer in your environment?"

Silence.

Second candidate: "Lacked strategic thinking."

"How did you test for that?"

"Whiteboard puzzle. They couldn't solve it fast enough."

I'm three decades into this work. I've seen this pattern hundreds of times.

The problem isn't the candidates.

It's that my client has no idea what problem they're actually hiring to solve.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 "𝗔𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆" 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘁.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 "𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴" 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀.

They rejected 47 qualified people for reasons that have nothing to do with the work.

Here's what the data shows: 59% of HR leaders say they can't find skilled talent. And 62% are facing crises because their job requirements are unclear.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲)

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.

Companies spend months searching for the perfect candidate while their actual problem goes unsolved. They filter for buzzwords. They test for irrelevant skills. They reject people who could do the job because those people don't fit a checklist nobody can explain.

Meanwhile, qualified candidates are sitting in your pipeline wondering why they keep getting rejected.

The fix isn't more candidates.

It's better questions:

What specific problem does this role solve in the next 90 days?

What does success look like six months in?

What skills actually matter for that outcome?

𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴.

𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲.

And no amount of "skilled talent" will fix that.

Clients Job posting: "𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆."
Me: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲?
Them: 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Me: What's the range?

Them: We prefer to discuss that later.

Me: What's the range?

Them: 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴

I've been recruiting for 30 years.

This conversation still happens every single week.

And it never stops being ridiculous.

Here's what "competitive salary" actually means:

We benchmarked against companies we'll never name. We have a number. But we're not telling you because we think you'll negotiate better if you're flying blind.

Spoiler: You won't.

You'll just get annoyed and ghost us.

Or you'll waste three weeks interviewing only to find out we're $40K apart.

Nobody wins this game.

Not the candidate who's trying to pay rent.

Not the hiring manager who just lost their top choice.

Not me, stuck in the middle explaining why we can't just say the number.

The fix is simple. Some jurisdictions get it. Parts of Canada, the US, and Western Europe now legally require salary ranges in postings. They're forcing the transparency the rest of us should've had all along.

But we won't do that because someone in 1987 decided salary negotiations should feel like hostage negotiations.

And we've been stuck ever since.

Stop playing games with people's livelihoods.

I check 100+ LinkedIn profiles every day for open roles.
𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲.

Here's why:

Your LinkedIn activity says you're consuming content, not creating value.

I check profiles daily for roles I'm filling. If I can't tell what you bring to the table and what problem you solve in 10 seconds, I'm moving to the next candidate who made it obvious.

Your network can't help you if they don't know what you need.

Thursday afternoon is your forcing function.

What actually moved forward this week?

What's still stuck?

The ones who win do weekly audits. They kill what's not working before it becomes next week's habit.

You have 24 hours to course correct.

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝘁.

Pick your three best applications from this week. Read them like you're the hiring manager. Find the one thing that's off.

Fix that one thing.

Then start next week different.

Volume without adjustment is just repeated failure at scale.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.  𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.

If you're dreading Monday, here's the 15-minute Sunday routine that replaces anxiety with 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡:

2. Identify one decision you've been avoiding. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁. 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.

Software Engineer

Franklin Electronic Publishers

Development of foreign language libraries and programs for the Proximity Technology division, which special emphasis on hyphenation, spelling and word inventories with parts of speech.  The libraries written in portable C language and are designed to support a large number of platforms which in turn are written in C, C++, Java and a number of other languages. Heavy emphasis on compression, access times and the ability to execute on limited hardware such as that encountered in embedded systems. The main development was under RedHat and QA scripts and ported to Windows and I did the ports to the Macintosh environments under both x86 and PowerPC. Heavy emphasis on regression test suites which enables monthly bug free deliveries. Developed tests downstream of the  test suites for code coverage by using the gcov and gprof utilities.

Set up and systems administration of a medium sized Red Hat server installation.  This included migration from a number of earlier Red Hat and Solaris servers, migration of user accounts (400), setups of Samba, NFS and NIS and setup of a second backup server under Centos.  This included daily rsync live data backup.  Set up a backup scheme from the main server to NAS storage (short term) and tape array backup.  Setup of the development tools needed for the project (compilers, version control systems, etc.)  Work with CVS and administration of multiple versions of products in the field.

I was able to leverage my knowledge of French and Russian into a wider applications across the entire Franklin language set.

Enhanced Telephony and Computer Solutions, NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, Verizon

Assignments at NYNEX, NYNEX Mobile and the successor companies, including the mergers with Bell Atlantic and GTE that formed Verizon. The NYNEX (land lines) systems worked with the classic Bell/BellCore derived systems and at NYNEX Mobile worked on the MTAS (Mobile Telephone Activation System) that is still used to interface billing systems to the telephone switches. NYNEX Mobile (and separately Bell Atlantic Wireless) built an entire telephone company from scratch. Experienced telephone personnel (like myself) worked at NYNEX Mobile to design and implement an entire telephone company without using any software derived from the land line side of the business. Mostly I used C, Informix and various communications tools to interface to three different billing systems (due to the merges) and a variety of telephone switches, voice mail units, voice activated dialing units, paging and digital mail systems. I went to NYNEX Mobile when the number of users was under one million and when the assignment ended there were 7.7 million customers.

I have worked for large companies and small ones.  Zigging back and forth is good because in small companies I got to do the project myself, and then when I got an assignment at a larger company, I could apply the techniques either being able to show the other team members how, or do an expanded version in cooperation with a larger team.

Specialties: Computer Science, Telecommunications, Linguistics, Chemistry.
