As a Technical Recruiter, my focus has been on the software development connected with mobile devices. Starting from design to deployment and everything in the middle. I have recruited for some of the biggest handset manufactures to the smallest testing houses. I am very familiar with what kinds of employees are needed to get a mobile device to market.
