Jeff Dulmage
Head of Recruitment / Executive Search @ August Hill
About
I lead senior functional and leadership recruiting for high-growth, tech-centric companies when the hire is foundational, confidential, or business-critical. With 20+ year experience in talent acquisition, I’ve partnered with founders, executive teams, and boards to build leadership and senior teams across AI/ML, SaaS, Cloud, FinTech, InsurTech, PropTech, and Data driven organizations. My work spans founding and first-in-role department heads through executive leadership hires, often in environments where speed, precision, and discretion matter most. Today, I serve as Head of Recruitment for August Hill while also supporting select companies as a hands-on search partner. I specialize in: - Founding, C-Suite and first-in-role Heads of Engineering, AI/ML, Data, Cloud, Product, Finance, and GTM - Senior functional and leadership hiring for high-growth technology companies - Stealth and confidential searches with no public postings or employer branding - Full-cycle recruiting and executive search execution, from market mapping through offer negotiation. I operate as an extension of the leadership team — equally comfortable defining search strategy or executing hands-on as a senior recruiter embedded with internal teams. My approach combines market intelligence, targeted outbound sourcing, and disciplined hiring processes to help organizations make confident, high-impact hiring decisions. If you’re building or scaling a team and need a recruiter who can both lead and execute when it matters most, I’m always open to a conversation.
