Chelsea Gerwing (Assimes) — Technical Recruiter
Hi there! I’m a people and technical recruiting professional with 9+ years of talent acquisition experience, spanning local Canada-based startups to Big Tech / FAANG based out of the United States. This means I've spent the bulk of my career building relationships and supporting talented people in pursuit of compatible and life-changing careers for them across national borders! Over the years, I've worn many hats: from recruiting for technical and business teams, driving end-to-end global recruiting programs and initiatives, leading recruiting/sourcing teams, to building an award-winning university recruiting program to be an engine for strategic company headcount growth. What fuels me like nothing else are deep connection with candidates, peers, and leaders; achieving hiring goals for the business; building for efficiencies at scale; and leading project teams to success. While I've had the chance to explore various roles, my focus and expertise lie in: - Full cycle technical recruiting (university + senior/staff level) - Diversity, equity, & inclusion strategy - Communications & presentations - Program & project management - Team leadership - Performance management & mentorship - HR metrics/data & analytics When I’m not recruiting, you can find me in pursuit of sun, on my yoga mat, at a coffee shop, or skiing my way down any of the beautiful mountains of the Pacific Northwest.
