ABOUT ME.

From "The Dot.com Bubble" to "The Great Tech Reset", I've had the privilege of acquiring 25 years of diverse and versatile professional recruiting experiences.​  I cut my teeth in the trenches of big-box recruiting agencies (K-Force) before diving into the dynamic corporate world of big tech (Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, VMware) and then navigating the exciting, unpredictable arena of high-growth startups (Namely, Atlas).  I strive to collaborate and innovate, which led me to co-author a US patent for a prototype that analyzes non-traditional resumes using sentiment analysis.

I've recruited, coached, and advised candidates from early in their careers to the executive level.  I've guided objective, data-driven hiring decisions across a variety of business verticals, including but not limited to eCommerce, gaming, entertainment, healthcare, cloud infrastructure, virtualization, AR/VR, computer vision, and generative AI.​I've sourced, screened, and hired software engineers, ML engineers, data engineers, product managers, data scientists, applied scientists, research scientists, UI/UX designers, game designers, 3D artists, narrative designers, and marketing/sales representatives, to name a few.

As a professional recruiter with a strong sense of empathy, I strive to curate a positive candidate experience. This trait led me to open a career coaching practice, where I provide personalized, high-touch consulting to professionals seeking guidance on interview preparation, resume evaluation, compensation negotiation, job search strategy, and career transitions.

Testimonials

I was incredibly nervous going into my recent interviews, but working with Carlos was a game-changer. He created a safe and supportive environment where I could practice my answers and get honest feedback.

Carlos helped me refine my storytelling, ensuring I highlighted the most impactful aspects of my experiences. He also pointed out areas where I could be more concise and impactful in my responses.

Thanks to his guidance, I felt much more confident and prepared for my interviews (and I got the job!). I highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking to improve their interview skills.

Thank You!​                 
                     ~Daksha Nagpal, Supply Chain PM, Google
I had the pleasure of working with Carlos when I hired him for his resume writing services. In fact I was so impressed by his wealth of knowledge and insight into the job market that I booked him a second time! Carlos is both professional and personable, which made the process of working with him both rewarding and engaging. I definitely would (and have) recommended Carlos to my professional network, and the time with him was well spent.
​                                       ~Chris Bertolino, DevOps Engineer
Carlos helped me see in the lenses of recruiters about the interviewing process. He removed guesswork of what recruiters are looking for and provided a very clear structure to shape my story. Depends on your deliveries, he also has a handful of tips to set you up for success.
            ~Mai Huong Tran, Head of Strategic Partnerships
I decided to leave a promising career with a Fortune 100 company earlier this year after 14 years, and I suspected, exciting exploring new opportunities and new connections to network with. However, with that excitement also comes a bit of anxiety because I have been out of the job market for so long and haven’t had to interview for a role. So I decided to hire a coach to guide me thru the process and provide insights on the tools to be leveraged to secure a successful interview. Carlos and I immediately hit off and dove deep into the process/methodology he prescribed. Through our interactions preparing me for the big day, I can confidently tell myself the interview went well.
I recommend collaborating with Carlos to expand/mature your interview tool kit if you are actively interviewing to just wanting to brush up in the event something materializes to planning to interview in the near term horizon.         ~Boris Jeremy Baich, Sr. Director, Customer Support
In 2023, I worked with Carlos to navigate a career transition. He helped me refine my resume, tailor it to specific roles and navigate the complexities of the job market with confidence. Carlos's approach went beyond standard resume reviews; he provided actionable advice on interview preparation and helped me articulate my unique value proposition and career goals with clarity and precision, ultimately helping me land a great role.

Carlos is an exceptional career coach with deep expertise in big tech recruiting. What truly sets him apart is his contagious energy and remarkable ability to inspire and motivate. His coaching isn’t just about strategies or tactics, it’s about building confidence, which is invaluable during significant career transitions.

Since our initial collaboration, I’ve remained in touch with Carlos and his insights continue to be a tremendous asset in my professional journey. I strongly recommend Carlos to anyone seeking career advice or resume support. His expertise, enthusiasm and genuine care for his clients make him an outstanding coach and a trusted partner in career development.

This isn't hyperbole, I've never worked with a recruiter who has done as much as Carlos has to help me prepare for interviews. It's obvious he's concerned about helping you get the job, not just setting up contact with the company and then moving on. I especially appreciate the help he gave me preparing for non-technical questions, which I hadn't been able to find much information about.
I'm kind of an old salt, so it's unusual when someone is able to make an impression on me by going above and beyond what he needed to do, and Carlos did. And, given that he was able to accomodate to my schedule and assist me as much as he did over e-mail and phone was great too!
​                                       ~Chris Blackwell, Principal Software Engineer
I sought Carlos's guidance when I hit roadblocks in my Product Management/Tech job search, both internally and externally. Despite my extensive experience, I struggled to effectively communicate my background to recruiters and during interviews. I hoped a resume overhaul might help bridge this communication gap.What I received from Carlos far exceeded my expectations of a simple resume format review. He fundamentally transformed my approach to resume writing by teaching me the right mindset and perspective.
He showed me how to maximize my LinkedIn network's potential and increase my visibility during job searches. His comprehensive coaching session proved more valuable than any resume writing instruction I received in business school. Carlos ensured I felt fully equipped for my job search journey.I wholeheartedly recommend Carlos to anyone facing similar challenges. His insights and guidance are invaluable for professionals looking to enhance their job search strategy
