Jason Steading — Technical Recruiter
I specialize in connecting high-growth, early-stage startups with the technical and business talent they need to scale. In my current role, I focus on sourcing top candidates for growth-oriented technical companies, helping founders and hiring teams build out their core teams from the ground up. Previously, I worked at Amazon as a Technical Recruiter, where I partnered with engineering and business leaders to deliver on complex hiring initiatives at scale. Before that, I honed my skills in account management at Purcrop1 and as an Area Manager at Japonessa, where I learned firsthand the value of strong client relationships, operational excellence, and team leadership. What ties my journey together is a passion for building—whether it’s building teams, systems, or partnerships. I thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and enjoy bridging the gap between people and opportunities that drive business growth.
