Sam Gaither — Recruiter

As a Senior Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist at Mastercard, I partner with engineering and technology leaders to scale world-class teams that drive innovation in payments, data, and AI. With over 6 years of experience across global organizations, I specialize in building high-performing engineering, data, cloud, and machine learning teams. Previously at Blend360 and Amazon Web Services, I recruited for top-tier organizations in high-growth, high-pressure environments where quality and speed were critical. At Blend360, I expanded the technical talent pipeline by 40% using creative sourcing strategies across GitHub, Slack, and underrepresented tech communities. At AWS, I closed 200+ roles annually while collaborating with HR, engineering leadership, and global teams on workforce planning and hiring optimization. I’m passionate about creating recruiting strategies that not only fill roles but also strengthen long-term organizational success through diversity, scalability, and innovation.
