“I had the privilege to work with Sydney at Lyft, when I needed to recruit a "unicorn". I knew the position would be extremely difficult to fill as I was looking for very specialized knowledge and experience for one of my teams. My experience told me that I would have to compromise a lot from my ideal candidate profile, to make the recruiting effort tractable. Indeed, I had been unsuccessfully working on this position for over 6 months already, when I started to work with Sydney on this position. Sydney was very proactive, getting in depth information about the profile I was looking for, reviewing candidates profiles together until we were on the same page (which took a surprisingly small amount of time; she really "got it" very quickly) , and figuring out which companies might be good sourcing grounds. She helped me a lot to go through the process of recruiting for the position, helping me generate content for postings, etc, making it very easy for me to engage. She kept me in the loop every step of the way, we brainstormed on various approaches to be successful; She helped me keep in touch with our most promising candidates to help converting them into a hire. Long story short, we hired a candidate within 3 months; not just any "compromise" candidate, but pretty much the embodiment of the ideal job description that we generated. Never in my wildest dreams was I imagining that we could find, let alone convince and hire such an expert to join my team. Sydney was my partner every step of the way, and the key reason why I now have a rock star on my team. A month in since the person started now, and I am even more enthusiast than I was when we closed. Sydney, thank you SO MUCH for your help. I would strongly recommend Sydney in a recruiting role, for any company trying to hire highly qualified technical personnel. In fact I certainly hope to have the chance to work with Sydney again.”
