About

Hello! I’m Amanda—a recruiting leader with nearly 20 years of experience scaling mid-to-executive tech (R&D) talent at companies like Randstad, Intuit, Uber, and Rippling. I've built a career path from an IC to leadership, known for building high-performing teams, optimizing recruiting operations, and attracting both top-tier recruiters and R&D talent. I focus on building lasting relationships through an empathetic, customer-driven approach. I believe recruiting success comes from prioritizing the right data, practicing “go & see” to understand what’s really happening, building & executing a durable strategy, and creating shared accountability with hiring teams. Equally important is crafting the right candidate experience—whether it leads to a hire or a rejection. Experience is everything.
