Hands-on technical recruiter who built HX Agency as a niche agency around early-stage, VC-backed startups. Previously worked at a stealth talent agency in San Francisco learning best practices for helping founders build their first teams before spinning out to apply those learnings under his own brand. Tightly plugged into the Bay Area startup ecosystem.
