Meet the Team

Our team brings a wealth of experience from both small and large high-tech companies, including Alation, Confluent, HubSpot, Synaptics, Marvell, and Broadcom. What truly sets us apart from traditional search firms or staffing agencies is our deep, hands-on collaborative approach with hiring managers. By leveraging this internal working knowledge, we gain a comprehensive understanding of company culture, business needs, and team dynamics, ensuring we consistently identify top talent that drives meaningful business results across all levels.

We've transformed this insider expertise into BullishIQ, a recruitment intelligence group dedicated to helping companies grow and achieve the impact they envision.

"It was my great pleasure to work with Ed Avila who helped me scale and hire a world class international sales team at Alation shortly after our Series C round of funding. During a one year period we doubled the number of Account Executives and Sales Engineers, strengthened our field management team by adding Regional Vice Presidents and a Senior Director of Field Operations, and expanded into new territories such as Europe and Australia during a hyper-growth phase of the company. Ed was a wonderful business partner who sourced outstanding talent, and he became a well trusted advisor. I hope I get the chance to work Ed again in the future."

Steve Kennedy,

Former CRO and Advisor

"Tania is a very good recruiter. She takes the time to understand the skills you look for in the candidate and is very patient during the process. Her time management skills are excellent and show in her strong work ethic."

Joey Escobar,
Technology Architect Leader

"I've been fortunate enough to work with some amazing recruiters and I would put Milani at the top of that list. She is extremely talented and well-versed in identifying exceptional talent. In our 2.5 years together she helped me hire 20 + BDRs as we scaled the team. It was not uncommon for candidates to say one of the reasons they decided to join our company was Milani. Super detail-oriented, great at multitasking, wonderful communicator, and just a joy to work with. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with her again."

Steve Dodsworth,
Sales Development Leader

"Tien is an excellent recruiter and was instrumental in building our design and verification teams for Automotive Ethernet switching. Tien really takes time to understand the team's direction and the responsibilities and qualifications of our open positions. She connected us with excellent engineers and guided them and us through the entire recruiting process. Tien is especially good at finding engineers who are passionate about the work our team does."

Hugh Walsh,
Engineering Leader
