Advisor to small recruitment firms looking to scale to 7 figures | Check out my website to see about working together

Two years ago, I started working with a boutique recruiting agency that had hit a wall.

The founder was stuck. No consistent pipeline. Sales were reactive. Everything depended on him — and when he focused on delivery, growth stalled.

Over 18 months, we rebuilt his outbound engine from the ground up. Account targeting, messaging, automation, KPIs — all designed to operate without him. Today, that firm has scaled to $5.6M, and their pipeline runs with consistency and control.

That story isn’t unique. Since then, I’ve helped dozens of founder-led recruiting firms move from ad hoc sales to structured, scalable growth.

I do this through The Systematic Recruiter — a proven 90-day method to build outbound systems that generate pipeline even when the founder is focused on running the business, not stuck inside it.

This isn’t coaching theory. I work hands-on inside my clients’ CRMs — writing sequences, mapping targeting frameworks, and building processes they can rely on.

The outcome? A fully operational sales system designed to run without the founder.

Most of my clients come to me when they’re ready to move beyond survival mode and scale with intention.

If you're still relying on referrals, sporadic outreach, or bursts of activity during slow months — it’s time for a system.

Book a call and I’ll walk you through it. No pitch unless it’s a fit.

👋 Hey there. Former software founder turned startup recruiter nerd. 

I'm obsessive about recruiting for my startup clients. Like really nerdy. 

I want to know everything I can about what your startup does, so I can make sure I hit the mark every single time. To me, the hire itself is secondary to the outcome your business gets. 

But there is a flipside.

I am just as obsessive and protectant of my candidates. I have built a vibrant and engaged community in Brazil, of some of the brightest and most amazing tech talent I engage with daily. 

I don't use a dusty ATS to pull resumes for you. I spin up custom candidates.

Every. Single. Time. 

Is it tedious? Of course.

Could I use A.I.? Probably.

But my track record speaks for itself. 

I only work with a limited amount of clients and candidates to ensure the proper attention clients deserve. 

I keep my prices reasonable and am never greedy.
