At Pitch, I lead a team of highly talented recruiting professionals. In under a year, we built a highly functioning in-house recruiting team; eliminated the need for external agency support; doubled the company's headcount; reduced our time to hire by 30 days; and increased conversion rates as well as overall candidate engagement score. I also look after operational efficiency & remote work: I work closely with our CPeO and COO on defining remote best practices, including culture and company-wide tooling.
