About Me

Hi! 👋 My name is Rachel and I look forward to helping you source and close the best talent for your growing organization.

Recruiter

Advisor

Founder

After graduating from UC Berkeley 🐻, I joined Brex as employee #50 where I played a central role in recruiting and scaling the company to over 1,500 in 4 years. I then entered the Web3 space and oversaw all technical recruiting efforts at Phantom where I delivered critical I.C. & leadership hires in spite of the "crypto winter."

My start-up experiences have uniquely positioned me to help other founders seeking to find, close, and retain top talent. As a fellow entrepreneur, I love working with those who also dream big and move with a strong bias to action! ✨

Why talentbloom

Nailing your first few hires is absolutely critical - Early employees have a significant impact on shaping a company’s trajectory.

Poor hiring decisions are one of the top reasons why start-ups fail. Conversely, making strong initial hires can set the foundation for future growth and success.

For start-ups, the search for top talent is tedious and time-consuming. Wasted recruiting cycles eat up valuable team bandwidth (time and energy that could've been invested elsewhere). This is where I can help! 🤝
