Profile bio

About Seth Dawson

I have extensive experience in recruiting for various technical positions, from large corporations like Google, Microsoft, and DreamWorks Animation, to small startups like Crunchyroll (acquired by Sony), Trackonomy Systems, Motiv, Node.io (acquired by SugarCRM), and MergeSort (acquired by AngelList) as the 1st recruiter. Although most of my experience is recruiting engineers, I have also successfully staffed marketing, sales, operations, legal, finance and administrative roles, from C-level to individual contributors. My specialties are sourcing, recruiting, salary negotiation, background checks, employment law, immigration law, and staffing program management. In addition to recruiting, I have over five years experience in Human Resources including as Head of People for several startups (Trackonomy, Motiv and Node.) I am passionate about finding the best fit for both the candidates and the companies, and about contributing to the innovation and growth of the technology sector.
