Demystifying the Tech Recruitment Process

I spent years at Amazon deciding who gets hired. Now, I'm revealing the playbook to help you land your dream job.

My Journey

My career in tech recruiting started with a simple question: "Why do so many qualified engineers fail the interview?"

At Amazon, I reviewed thousands of resumes and sat in on hundreds of debriefs. I realized that technical skills were rarely the bottleneck. The problem was communication, storytelling, and understanding what the company was actually looking for.

I saw brilliant engineers get rejected because they couldn't articulate their scope of impact, or they failed to align their stories with the Leadership Principles.

I realized I could make a bigger impact by switching sides. I left Amazon to help engineers navigate the opaque hiring process of big tech. Since then, I've helped hundreds of clients secure offers at Google, Meta, Apple, Netflix, and Amazon.
