Look for Corporate Recruiters, NOT Staffing Agency Recruiters

The strongest candidates will be seasoned technical recruiters who have worked in large technology environments and have a proven track record of filling specialized Data, Analytics, and AI positions . Candidates should be comfortable partnering directly with technical hiring managers, understanding complex technical skill requirements, and proactively sourcing hard-to-find talent.

Candidates with prior recruiting experience at AWS, Google, Microsoft, or comparable technology organizations are strongly preferred.

Recruiting Focus: Prioritize candidates with Big Tech recruiting backgrounds and recent, hands-on experience filling Data Science, Data Engineering, Machine Learning, and AI positions. General corporate recruiters without substantial technical recruiting experience will not be a fit
