*Pass your interviews*
Luke runs sales recruiting at Handshake, where he's been for over 2 years. He spent the previous 12 years of his career at Google, then Twilio; and his experience in tech is split evenly between tech sales and tech sales recruiting; having himself excelled as a revenue generator and now specializing in hiring high-impact individual contributors, sales leaders, and executives. Luke's time in FAANG/startups can be categorized as deep expertise on both sides of the proverbial 'tech interview fence.' He's excelled at navigating both 'how to break into companies' himself and coaching his candidates to do so, and based on the trusted partnerships he builds with them, is intimately aware of what today's hiring leaders are looking for and proficiently surfaces actionable insights on how to appeal to them, both inside and outside of interview processes.
*Get more interviews*
As a recruiter, Luke reviews hundreds of resumes per week and has a discerning eye for what resonates most effectively with today's hiring leaders. He can help you translate career highlights into a resume that gets interviews at top FAANG companies and startups he's worked for and currently works for.
*Make a career transition*
Luke is passionate about mentoring, specifically around career advancement. This ranges in scope, including, but not limited to:
1. Breaking into tech
2. Leveraging internal leveling systems to get promoted
3. Moving into leadership
4. Building your personal and professional brand

Luke is highly knowledgeable about sales and offers valuable perspective having been both an AE and now a recruiter. He identified critical knowledge gaps I was not aware of and provided valuable insight and direction, which I found extremely valuable being early in my career. I highly recommend his services.

I'm a fan of Luke's methodical and tactical approach to the interview process, especially in a sales context. He gave me a lot of tactical advice that has been transformational in multiple late-stage interviews.
