Meet Matt Johnson
For the past 18 years, I have been, not just a recruiter, but a career accelerator. I'm driven by the power of connection, whether it's building a dream team for a first-time manager or placing a visionary leader in their perfect role. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unwavering integrity.
My experience spans the full spectrum of talent acquisition, from scaling growth startups to navigating the complexities of Fortune 50 giants. I've honed my skills at industry leaders like Microsoft, Amazon, and Included Health, where I didn't just fill roles – I built robust engineering teams and transformed hiring processes to be more efficient, scalable, and equitable. My decade in agency recruiting laid the groundwork, providing me with a deep understanding of diverse industries and talent landscapes.
Some of my work:
Recruited the founding Director of Marketing for a seed stage agentic-AI startup.
Recruited the VP of Product Design & Research for a $4B health tech company.
Recruited a 4-person founding platform engineering team for a Series E unicorn.
Recruited a 10-person data science team for a project with a Fortune 10 company.
Achieved a 90%+ offer acceptance rate while hiring 133 individuals for Microsoft in just 18 months.
Outside of work, you’ll find me in Seattle, WA with my wife, son and daughter, or deep in conversation about food, travel or my next bucket-list golf trip.
I’m passionate about creating success for those around me, and I started my firm to be an accessible solution for companies of all sizes, and a conduit for those companies to connect with exceptional people and drive growth and innovation.
If you’re looking for a recruiting partner who understands building high-caliber teams, a strategic consultant to optimize your TA function, or simply need to augment your existing recruiting efforts, let’s talk!
The Process
Regardless of the size of your organization, the process is simple and straight-forward, and designed to build a tailored hiring strategy specifically for your needs.
I start by diving deep into understanding your business – your team, your product, your culture, everything. This crucial discovery phase is where I really get to know you and your organization, and acts as the groundwork that allows us to build a tailored recruitment strategy to deliver exceptional talent and drive you closer to your goals.
Engagement & Discovery
In today's competitive talent market, a strong employment brand is essential for attracting top candidates. It's about showcasing what makes your company a unique and desirable place to work. By crafting compelling messaging and showcasing your powerful employer brand, I help you not only attract, but also retain the high-quality individuals you need to succeed.
Brand & Messaging
Every role is unique, and so should be your talent acquisition strategy. I work closely with you to calibrate on the right fit and define a clear Ideal Candidate Profile (ICP), then craft a customized strategy from there. Whether it involves refining a job description, implementing a unique outreach campaign, or diving into the data, I’m committed to finding the best fit talent for each unique role.
Strategy & Calibration
No doubt there is value in the entire process, but ultimately, you're partnering with me for results. My expertise lies in sourcing, recruiting, assessing, and securing top-tier, off-market talent to fulfill your organization's needs. I handle the time-consuming and complex aspects of talent acquisition, allowing you to focus on what you do best – running your business.
