*I fill the toughest engineering searches with a 100% fill rate. *I use my 30+ years of technology placement experience to consult with both promising technology start-ups and Fortune 500 firms. *My full life cycle service covers initial consult to a successful hire; if we work together in a search, you will soon find yourself interviewing 3-5 professionals who are a 100% match for your needs, hiring one, and onboarding!*I coach your hiring team to eliminate the unwitting sabotage of their own efforts to hire the engineers they need and to use a unique technical screening method that reduces candidate screening time to under 30 minutes, with ~ 90% accuracy. * I save my clients millions of dollars in lost development time. * I enjoy working with a wide variety of engineering talent including Software (backend, front end, full stack, Dev Ops, IT, networking, hackers, cryptography, architecture, AI, ML, Big data/analytics) Firmware, Hardware/electronics engineering (including high power/high voltage/motor controls, systems, board and chip level work), plus mechatronics, and mechanical engineers. I also include searches in CNC/machine shop, physics, chemists/chemical engineers, material science, production/materials/manufacturing, and technical marketing/sales/support and management. *My client industries include medical devices/ISO13485, machinery, cryptography/security, IoT, Big Data, e-commerce, consumer electronics, retail, autonomous driving ISO26262, analytical instruments, solar/energy, Electric Vehicles/power, networking products, and capital equipment.

I created and managed an effective program to hire software engineering professionals for our own Software R/D staff (including senior developers in Java, C++, C#.net, Windows, Novell, Banyon Vines) as well as referrals of senior software engineers (Cobol, CICS) to top local banks until this company was acquired.

I managed a very successful high-volume full-cycle recruiting desk at General Employment, from cold call sales through technology Q&A with potential clients to interviewing, screening, coaching, and placing engineering candidates. I placed key technology players in such industry giants as Hitachi, Sun Microsystems, Varian, HP, Dell, Veritas, and others. I specialized in Engineering including hardware, mechanical, and software professionals as well as field service engineers, IT and network engineers, chemists, chemical engineers, production and materials professionals. I achieved President's Club 7 years out of 10. In my first year I received the second highest award in this 35-office firm. From my first year onward I was the "top biller" in my office.

For this busy video game start-up that produced games based on the Journey Rock Band, I enjoyed recruitment as well as HR generalist and Facilities Management duties. I learned "the ropes" from an extremely professional Human Resources Manager.

I created and managed the Human Resources (Generalist and Recruiting) and Facilities management function for this start-up founded by Atari Inc. founder Nolan Bushnell. Axlon provided innovative peripherals for Apple and IBM personal computers such as an early "PDA". Using my own resources and seeking advice from experienced local HR professionals I managed to build a credible, legal, and sensible HR department that filled our needs. I also recruited engineering, manufacturing, production and materials professionals.
