Diary of a San Francisco Recruiter

This is Diary of a San Francisco Recruiter, where I aim to shed light on a topic that impacts us all — the job search process.

Bloggers will write about the job search as though it’s a gauntlet shrouded in mystery behind a row of ubiquitous “AI Resume Scanners” designed to stand in your way and terrify.

Recruiting is none of that, and the job search should be targeted and enjoyable. It’s a time when you’re deciding on aspects that will impact your career and the lives of those around you. It’s important, and shouldn’t be complicated.
