For the past 20+ years I’ve been a Social Talent Scout / Executive Recruiter / Headhunter / Career Development Coach. I have a BA in Humanities / Philosophy - but sometimes these days, wish I had an advanced degree in computer science! I still love to read history, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, quantum physics, and poetry.Finding and meeting great people is really my passion.

I have focused primarily on working with Tech-Startups, SaaS, and Social Media companies. I worked with CEOs, HR, and Hiring Managers, to Recruit and Retain the best talent in the industry. I also offered Out-Placement and Career Development Coaching.Why people like working with me:“Dennis Moss worked both directly for me, as a recruiter, starting over a decade ago and continuing to this day. He’s honest and hard-working, diligent and organized, smart and creative. And people like him. That quality is easily underestimated in business. I feel comfortable that Dennis will represent my company’s interests, that the candidates will be found and that we’ll be in a position to hire the ones we want, because of Dennis’ spirit as well as his mind. He’d be my first recommendation for any recruiting assignment.”William Lohse - Social Starts LPFounding Partner, Software Venture PartnersSocial Week, Pivot ConferenceFormer President, Ziff Davis Publishing________“I can not recommend Dennis highly enough. I’ve worked with him for many years and have had him recruit for a number of roles. He’s one of the best in the business. He delivers quality candidates through his vast network of relationships. I’d rate him very highly relative to other management recruiters -- and that’s because he really understands business.”John HerrFormer CEO at Adaptive PlanningFormer CEO, EZShieldFormer VP & GM, eBay and PayPal________“Dennis came very highly recommended to me and was spot on in his assessments of candidates for the positions we were hiring. He thinks broadly about your business and as such brings a solution to our business as much as a candidate. He possesses the highest level of integrity and professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”Mike RogersFormer VP of Sales at Ziff DavisFormer VP at QuinstreetFormer VP of Sales, AllBusiness.com and GoodMail Systems

I worked at Ziff-Davis Publishing, reporting directly to the CEO, and focusing on leveraging the sales and marketing efforts of their conference division. When I started my recruiting business in 1994, Softbank (who had just acquired Ziff Davis) became a major client. I recruited talented executives for them in the areas of sales, marketing and operations.
