BRINGING SOFT SKILLS TO THE FOREFRONT OF RECRUITING  What is EQ? EQ or Emotional Quotient is a common term for how emotional intelligence is measured. There are many different traits that make up

EQ Recruiting

I founded EQ Recruiting because I felt there was a lack of personalization and empathy in agency recruiting! 

At EQ Recruiting we believe that emotional intelligence is one of the most important parts of the interview process and is one of the main things lacking in recruiting today. We put a heavy emphasis on relationships, culture, fit, and team with both the candidates and companies we work with. 

From a business perspective, we work with VC-backed startups across all industries. Technical Recruiting for individual contributor and Manager roles is our main focus. We typically work on all things software engineering (backend, fullstack, frontend, mobile, infrastructure, devops--all these and more! In addition, we work on product manager and product design roles of all levels. As a team, we have placed candidates in nearly every major tech market in the US and Canada, but being Bay Area-based, our largest network is in San Francisco. 

We believe relationships are everything, and whether you're an organization needing strategic guidance or a person who simply needs job search advice, we are here to help!

I worked at Cadre as a senior technical recruiter and at times oversaw a small team! I was one of the top two performers every year I worked there. 

At Cadre, we did contingency recruiting for VC-backend startups in the San Francisco Bay Area. I worked a full desk, and I was responsible for doing business development as well as filling the roles I brought on. Most of the roles we worked on were IC software engineers, but I filled non-tech roles including account executive, head of biz dev, marketing manager, UI/UX designer, product managers, and more. 

Companies I successfully brought on were Glassdoor, Asana, Optimizely, Zume IFTTT, Quizlet, Coverhound, ThreadUp, and then some! 

I learned a lot at Cadre and will always cherish my time there!
