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.

You care deeply about your career, work extremely hard and have the title, scope and results to prove it, and *yet* your current role just isn't working.   

You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are today – from high school honor society to all the college extracurriculars to crushing your first job to a top grad school to that prestigious, post-grad job.

Now you have what you’ve always wanted – that coveted title at a brand-name company, a long list of promotions on your resume and a lot of zeros on your paycheck.

You’re proud of your success (and you should be!), but the job you always wanted has started to feel like the suit you bought pre-pandemic…stiff, itchy and just not right.

You might…

→ Be a future “Chief” temporarily stuck on a low rung of the ladder. You know you’re going to be in the C-Suite one day. CNBC, Ted Talks, Board seats, here you come. But, your current job isn’t going to get you there.

→ A high-achiever measuring success differently these days. Your ambition has evolved - you want to be successful and do work you care about, but you’re measuring success by the number of friend dinners, pilates classes or daycare pickups these days.Your job doesn’t gel with who you are today.

→ Have climbed straight up – only to find burnout. You’ve had a lot of success in the first part of your career – perhaps, too much and you feel, well, just tired. You like your work, you’re proud of your success. You don’t want to throw it all away, but something has to give.

You’re in the right place.

Hi! I'm Cydnee. I equip high-achieving millennial women with mindset and strategies to create and thrive in the career you want. As a former exec leader, chief of staff, consultant and NYU Stern MBA, I have helped 110+ women reimagine their lives since 2019 - and am excited to do the same with you.

Honored to have my Substack featured by Dreamers & Doers® in their "Leading Visibly" article spotlighting women shaping business + culture this week. 

In my early 30s, I was on a fast trajectory upward. 

Everything looked so good from the outside - promoted early, a coveted consulting career while also managing to do "good." 

Yet, inside I felt...so lost. I found my work exhausting, and it wasn't just the long hours or frequent travel. 

Like any good MBA, I tried to do my research -- to figure out what was off and how to fix it. 

I found a few books on purpose and life design, but most career resources were on how to keep accelerating, establish executive presence and influence. 

I eventually found my way to a coach, and that changed the trajectory of my life. 

But I wish there had been a space where I could think about my career and my ambitions differently - more expansively - and to learn from other women doing the same. 

So that's what I created with my Substack - Ambitious Millennial Women - the conversations I wish I had.  

This space is a mix of: 
→ Practical strategies on how to design your career with intention 
→ Personal essays to show you how I'm doing the same 
→ Client success stories to remind you what's possible

If you're looking for similar conversations, this is a special place on the internet for 1k women -- we'd love to have you join us: https://lnkd.in/gt5NDD-Q.

Until last week, I’ve been afraid to share one of the biggest parts of myself in my content:

My spirituality.

I cringe even writing that word as I don’t follow organized religion or a formal belief system.

But I do love anything that is a bit “woo.”

Human Design, energy healing, manifestation, astrology, tarot cards.

I’ve dabbled in it all — I love anything that gives me a new perspective on what I’m experiencing or helps me get to know myself better.

I integrate it into my work when clients are interested,

But never in my public persona.

My audience spends their day mastering spreadsheets and advising clients. I assumed it wouldn’t resonate.

But you know what they say when you assume…

One of my intentions for 2026 is “authentic visibility,” or showing all parts of myself more.

So last week, I included a short blurb in my newsletter about the shift in energy from the Year of the Snake (challenge, shedding anything not aligned) to the Fire Horse (momentum, vitality) in Chinese Astrology.

It’s a concept that’s been so helpful for me in making sense of 2025, and I wanted to share it with my community.

Now I know it’s hardly “woo” or outside the mainstream — your Instagram and TikTok are probably flooded with it. 

But still…

I rewrote the section six different times.

Trying to make sure it landed, trying to make sure it wouldn’t turn anyone off.

And you know what?

A small handful of people unsubscribed — but no more than usual.

Way more importantly —

So many women have told me how much resonates — how the concept is helping them make sense of how hard the past year was and given them hope for the coming year.

Which is a good reminder that —

The parts of ourselves that we hide are the very parts that make us distinctive — and draw the right people closer.

And I’m done editing those parts out.

I have so much respect for what Clara Ma is building with Ask a Chief of Staff - so I was thrilled to be invited to speak to her community. 

Being a Chief of Staff was my favorite corporate role. 

I spent two years in the role - on our management team and leading a team of 7 as we grew 30%+ YOY.

Plus, I supported not 1 but 3 Co-CEOs 😅.

So I get it - the best parts of the role, and the toughest. 

You do a little bit of everything, while having access and influence at the most senior levels. 

It's what makes the role so great, but also so hard to figure out what's next. 

Next week I'll be sharing my signature career alignment framework, adapted specifically for Chiefs of Staff. 

So you can use this role as the launching pad it's meant to be  🚀.

A Sr. Director of Ops at a high-growth health start-up was laid off a few weeks ago. But instead of panicking, she felt —

Hopeful and excited.

After six years at the company, she was happy.

She loved her team, believed in the mission, and was proud of what she’d built.

She wasn’t planning to leave.

But she also knew she’d become a bit insular.

Her network mostly lived inside the company.

Her narrative was outdated.

And if she ever needed to make a move, she wasn’t sure what kind of work she’d want next.

So, last year, she invested in coaching.

Not to quit — but to stay prepared.

Together, we:

→ Clarified the kind of work that would feel aligned for her next chapter
→ Refreshed her narrative and resume
→ Reignited her networking — outside of her current bubble

A few weeks ago, she was laid off—along with 25% of the company.

When I checked in, she wrote:

“The work we did last year is one of the biggest reasons I’m feeling hopeful and excited right now, instead of terrified.

I felt at the time—and I am certain now—that working with you was an investment in myself that would better prepare me for exactly this situation.”

She’s now taking a short break and exploring her next move with confidence and clarity.

This is what being proactive looks like.

She didn’t wait until the news finally came in.

She made space to reflect, realign, and be ready — before she had to.

If you're feeling the nudge to do the same, this is your invitation. 

Join "Get Clear On What Your Want Next," my deeply reflective and intimate live masterclass on Jan. 25th. 

In this session, you'll: 

→ Clarify what you want (beyond titles and prestige) 
→ Articulate how you add value now 
→ Feel grounded and prepared - no matter what the market brings 

This is a small, live session, and spots are filling. I’d love to have you if it feels like a fit: https://lnkd.in/efTp7n5y

Because clarity isn't just comforting. 

It's the best career insurance there is.

When your current role no longer fits — but you don’t yet know what’s next — it can feel paralyzing.

You’re smart, hard-working, have been able to achieve every other goal you’ve  set your mind to — so why can’t you figure this out?!

You keep looping on:

I’m intrigued by X career, but how will I know if it’s really right for me?
Should I apply for Y job opening? Should I wait?
What am I meant to do?!

Here’s what most ambitious women get stuck on:

Your mind is trying to jump to the answer.

The perfect role. The perfect industry.

A neat, tidy direction you can execute against immediately.

But you can’t jump to the answer without:

Knowing who you are today.

Without that foundation, every option feels both wrong…and like something you’ll regret not pursuing.

So if you’re a high-achieving woman swirling on “what’s next?!”

Buy yourself a coffee this weekend, grab your notebook and answer these questions:

(These are the exact questions I’ve used with 110+ clients to get them to clarity)

1. Who are a few people that I admire? What parts of their life or work spark something in me?

2. If life were a saved Instagram or TikTok folder, what inspires me the most? 

3. What subjects, people, things, experiences, tips, tools would I find myself saving the most?

4. What do I want in my life 10 years from now that I don’t have today?

5. If I dropped the fear of bragging… what am I genuinely exceptional at?

6. When do I feel most at ease, focused and in flow?

7. What problems or injustices make me irate or ignite a rant?

8. What results or changes make me smile?

9. What would I focus on if I had financial freedom or retired early?

Set a timer for ten minutes per question, write without judging or editing.

Let it be messy and honest.

Come back a few days later, re-read your responses and look for the patterns.

Those are your priorities, strengths and passions — the foundation of your next chapter.

Some will confirm what you already knew. Some will surprise you. And some will reflect who you’ve quietly become.

This is where real clarity begins.

Not with the perfect answer — but with the courage to hear yourself again.

If you're ready to stop forcing answers and start listening inward — and don't want to do it alone — I'll guide you through this exact work in my new masterclass on Jan. 25th. 

Enroll and you'll receive my 'Career Clarity Blueprint' so you can begin reconnecting with what matters right away: https://lnkd.in/efTp7n5y

This has surprised even me. 

Since mid-Oct, 8 women have enrolled in Ambition Reimagined - and 3 have already landed new roles. 

Here's the thing - Ambition Reimagined is *not* a job search program. 

It's about deep exploration. 

Reconnecting with what you actually want
Owning what you're genuinely good at 
Rebuilding your confidence

But here’s what always happens when you do that work:

Your energy shifts.

What once felt hard, intimidating, or out of reach starts to feel possible - even exciting.

And when that shift happens, people and opportunities respond.

If you’ve been curious about Ambition Reimagined - and what might be possible with space to reflect, proven frameworks and a community of thoughtful, ambitious women - I’d love to invite you to my Jan. 25th masterclass.

It’s a chance to experience the work before committing.

We’ll do the same foundational reflection the program begins with - alongside other introspective women asking big, honest questions about what’s next.
