Peter Moser
Co-Founder & CTO at Coverstar
As CTO of a seed-stage, AI-native startup, every engineering hire is critical. We needed a Lead Software Engineer in Zurich, a search I had budgeted three to four months for. Isabel presented the candidate within 10 days of kicking off, and we had a signed offer within a month. The hire has exceeded my expectations. He hit the ground running, taking only days to understand the codebase and what needed to get done. Exactly what a startup at seed stage is looking for, where speed matters and every engineering decision counts. Isabel understood the technical bar we were holding, quickly got up to speed on the Zurich market, and made the process smooth for our candidates.

It is my pleasure to recommend Isabel as a technical recruiter. She understands technology and the key things to screen for when hiring high-level engineers. She consistently sourced high-caliber candidates for every role I needed to hire. She was also a great thought partner and helped me review requirements and salary expectations for each role. Isabel is honest, reliable, and cares about creating a fair and unbiased hiring process. Proceso Talent runs a very high-touch recruiting experience to ensure that candidates feel supported from the first reach out to the closing process. As a candidate, she feels more like a friend than a pushy recruiter. Due to her rapport with the candidates, we had a close to a 100% close rate for every offer we extended. Isabel cares about building great teams, not just getting a hire. She spent time deeply understanding the hiring manager’s needs, and there were times when she talked us out of hiring someone because we had veered off our goals. That is unheard of when working with an agency recruiter, but she truly cares about the team and worked to set us up for long-term success. I trusted and enjoyed working with Isabel as a candidate and as a hiring manager. I highly recommend her for your technical talent acquisition needs.

CTO, E-commerce
Technical recruiting is one of the most difficult problems most leaders will face. Success requires a talent team that does more than simply follow a process of posting jobs and scheduling candidates, but one that thinks critically about the current market and incorporates candidate feedback to improve the process. This is critical to staying ahead of the market as it changes. I’ve worked with and hired Proceso Talent at a number of different companies to lead technical talent and hiring. She works to understand the culture, iterates quickly on messaging and outreach strategies, and ensures the entire team moves quickly. What sets her apart is you never have to ask for an update, and we don’t drop the ball. She’s one of the only talent leaders that’s consistently delivered or beat hiring timelines even in very difficult circumstances and has done it without sacrificing quality. It’s hard to understate say how rare that combination is. I’m a huge fan.

I had the unique pleasure of getting hired through Isabel at Hearst and working with her to hire multiple engineers for my teams. I can't recommend Isabel enough for any organization's hiring needs - at any level! Firstly, as someone who was looking to be hired, I undoubtedly had my best hiring experience at Hearst, primarily due to Isabel. She gave me a great overview of the company and the teams, was transparent about comp and other expectations, gave me a lot of info on the interviewers, and constantly kept me up to date on what was happening throughout the interview cycle. As a hiring manager working with Isabel, she was again fantastic to work with. She asked a lot of questions about the roles and the expectations so that she could internalize them before talking to candidates. She was great at sourcing candidates through LinkedIn and other mediums even for roles with very niche skill requirements. She also provided feedback to improve the job descriptions, how to sell the job better to candidates, and provided weekly stats to back up her work. I learned more about hiring and best practices in the few months I worked with her than my several years of experience hiring before that. She helped hire multiple key roles for my team, including principal and senior engineers, and they all shared the same experience with me Isabel has raised the bar for recruitment for me and my org. She will be whom I compare other recruiters with going forward. I hope I get a chance to work with her again!
