I am fortunate to have worked directly with founders of startups and helped build their teams from the ground, as well as top Fortune 100 companies. 

Through this I've developed my skills in full-cycle recruiting, data analysis, recruiting project management, niche and diversity recruiting. 

I love working closely with my hiring managers and want to "be in their head" to be super aligned with what they're looking for.

More importantly, I advocate strongly for fantastic talent and wonderful people I recruit. 

I don't want them to just have a job, but to get the job that will change their lives for the better.

When I'm not recruiting you'll find me listening to audiobooks, going to the movies and concerts, watching basketball, and walking my dogs. 

I grew up in a very rural area in the Philippines that even other Filipinos have no idea where that place is - I bet I could out eat you in exotic foods, any day.

Hey, you don't know me, but let me tell you why I'm the perfect fit for X role. And oh, here's a list of all my achievements for you to (probably not) read. 
 
Sounds awkward, right?  
 
Here's the thing: Just because you *can* blast your resume or pitch your services directly into someone's LinkedIn inbox, doesn't mean you *should*.  
 
Online or offline, the golden rule remains: Build genuine relationships. 🌱

Senior Full-Stack Developer (Remote - Worldwide)

Ever heard this one before? A startup acquaintance recently shared their tale of two hires, same role: 
 
- The first: a bundle of nerves during the interview, didn't shine as brightly... yet, now they're skyrocketing in their role, revealing true potential.  
- The second: aced the interview, had a resume that ticked all the boxes... but, is now struggling to keep pace. 
 
This scenario is far from rare. Excelling in an interview does not always translate to excelling on the job. 
 
As leaders, we bear a crucial double duty: 
1) Recognize the gap between interviewing prowess and job proficiency.  
2) Craft our hiring processes to unearth genuine competence, rather than just surface-level confidence.  
 
Let's aim to look beyond the surface and spot true potential.

Interviews often feel like the survival of the fittest. How do you stand out?  
 
Show that you're not just another fish in the sea. You're the shark.  
 
You're the game changer they didn't know they needed.  
 
In every interaction, show them you're not phased by challenges. Instead, you thrive on them. You're that rare breed of professional who can turn any situation into an opportunity. 
 
Companies aren't just looking for employees.  
 
They're looking for problem solvers, visionaries, trailblazers.  
 
So ask yourself, are you just another candidate, or are you the solution? 
 
Show them the value you bring, the difference you can make.
