Kaitlyn S.

Lead Technical Recruiter at DoorDash | Focused on Product Management hiring across IC and leadership roles I bring 8+ years of experience leading high-impact searches across product, engineering, and data. Today, I’m embedded in the product org at DoorDash — partnering directly with senior leaders to shape roles, align on bar, and close top talent. My strength is in turning ambiguity into clarity. I’m at my best in complex, high-context searches where the ask is evolving, expectations are high, and speed still matters. I help stakeholders get sharp on what they’re solving for — and drive a process that reflects that from first touch to close. What sets me apart is precision: I’m thoughtful in how I scope, intentional in how I engage, and rigorous in how I manage process. I operate with urgency, communicate clearly, and don’t lose sight of quality under pressure. Beyond search execution, I’ve built systems for calibration, comp, and pipeline visibility — always with an eye toward scale and trust with hiring teams. _____________________________ 🔍 Current Focus • Product Management hiring (IC to Director+) • Executive partnership, comp strategy, closing • Recruiting team leadership (1 recruiter + 4 sourcers) 🛠 Past Domains • SWE (Frontend, Backend), TPM, Data Science, Salesforce • Global + domestic recruiting • Full-cycle + closing 💡 What I’m Known For • Trusted partner to senior hiring teams • Strong closer with comp strategy & negotiation depth • Empowering a high-performing team of recruiters & sourcers • Process builder • Thoughtful sourcing + commitment to inclusive hiring • Leveraging AI tools for efficiency
