Jeff Morgante
I have been working in technical staffing since 2010, specializing in recruiting hardware, software, electrical, and mechanical engineers. My recruiting style is personal, where I understand the technology and can communicate with engineers on all levels with an engineering background myself, I can relate and communicate using the same language.
Finding an excellent fit for engineers is why I love recruiting; I can help you achieve your career goals and job transitions and find the perfect fit for you. My philosophy is "never give up". Outside of work, I like to put my energy into listening to vinyl records, hiking, and cooking. I have two dogs, Kaleb and Kayce, and two cats, Mika and Shiloh. I am originally from upstate New York, but I love living in the Pacific Northwest! I have a passion for cars, old and new, so finding common ground is easy for me. Let's get started today!
