About Tony

I’ve spent over a decade inside Big Tech hiring rooms.

As a former Principal Recruiter and Bar Raiser at Amazon, I helped scale teams through rapid growth and sat in debriefs where candidates were debated. I learned something simple: hiring isn’t just about credentials. It’s about clarity. Alongside my one-on-one work, I support high-growth startups that want to get hiring right the first time, where every hire shapes culture, momentum, and long-term trajectory. Working on both sides of the table gives me a fuller lens — I help candidates communicate their value clearly, and I help companies recognize it with confidence. Read More

Mentor With Perspective

It’s about telling the right story, at the right level, in a way that hiring teams can clearly evaluate.

The Standard Package ($2000)

Bi-monthly instalment plan available

For candidates at any stage — whether you’re breaking into tech for the first time or ready to make your next move into Top Tech and AI companies like Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, and beyond. With backgrounds spanning talent acquisition, Bar Raiser leadership, and finance and data, we bring a rare combination of insider recruiting experience and industry depth to rebuild your narrative, sharpen your strategy, and guide you through every stage of the process.

Package Includes:

Five (1-hour) live working sessions on Google Meet. Recordings and meeting notes sent after every call.

1. Resume, LinkedIn & Narrative Rebuild

2. Targeting Strategy & Market Intelligence

We define exactly where you should be applying and why — a targeted company list, warm path referral opportunities mapped before cold applications, and a clear search thesis so you stop applying into a void.

3. Interview Mastery & Mock Debrief

Behavioral mock interviews with real-time feedback, plus a shadow debrief after every real interview round. You'll know exactly how the debrief room sees you — before you hear back.

4. Offer Strategy & Insider Partnership

5. Digital Tony AI + Insider Resource Library

I've worked with Tony for the last three years on expanding the RDS Oracle team in Vancouver. He's been an amazing help with finding and attracting new talent, and consistently found great candidates for a wide variety of roles. He's easy to work with, and is always available to help answer any of my questions about the recruiting and interviewing process.

Tony is one of the best recruiters I have worked with. He is very professional and passionate. Thanks to his detailed explanation of the recruitment process and his helpful tips, I was more prepared for my phone and onsite interviews. His understanding of the prospects of the job helped me make my decision to take the offer. When I had issues during the onboarding process, he acted quickly and solved all my problems. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him!

Tony was the recruiter for my team from when I started until end of April 2020, before he was promoted. During my time with Tony, he was always professional, provided consistent pipeline of candidates to fill our roles and extremely responsive to any issues that came up. As the AWS teams grew, Tony began managing other recruiters to help fill the open positions on our teams. He coached them to provide the same level of service he had provided to our team. Tony has set a very high bar for future recruiters helping our team.

Tony is one of the best recruiters I've ever worked with. He provided me the smoothest screening and interview experience ever, and he is always being professional, responsive and transparent throughout the process. Tony and I became friend in life long before we actually worked together. It's his personality and passion that convince me that Amazon is a good place to work.

I've worked with Tony on numerous recruiting efforts at Amazon and he has been stellar in his ability to find top quality candidates and keep a constant pipeline filled. He has done an excellent job at screening and preparing candidates for phone screens and interviews. Tony is always professional and takes complete ownership in his position. Because of Tony and his excellent recruiting skills, I was able to fill multiple key positions with quality candidates much faster than my peers.

Tony was my recruiter throughout the whole journey to Amazon. Speaking from a candidate perspective it was the smoothest and the most hassle-free process in my career. Tony managed to create atmosphere where I was able to show my best, had all required information at any stage and felt really personal, no sense of big soulless enterprise, it was like talking with a friend who always is on your side and always can help. I was amazed to be in the process with a huge company yet feeling like I am joining a small startup of passionate and easy going folks. Even if I got rejected (I wasn’t) I would be left with a desire to try joining again. Highly recommend Tony, well done!

Tony was responsible my first great experience with the non-retail side of Amazon. He approached me for a position strongly correlated with my background but which was not a fit due to some fairly specific requirements. Once that was established, Tony surprised me with the professionalism and effort he put towards finding me a position that would be a great match. And that was even after it was clear that such a position would not be found in the specific teams for which he was personally sourcing. He put me in touch with the appropriate recruiter and still kept checking with me how my experience was going all the way until I was scheduled for an onsite interview. It was an absolute pleasure working with Tony at that time and, based on this experience and our interactions since I joined Amazon, I am certain that not only any team but also any company would be in great hands having Tony involved with their sourcing and with taking care of their prospective candidates' overall recruitment experience.

Tony has a very 'easy to work with' approach and is a great asset to the AWS hiring team. He is an excellent mediator and seamlessly bridges the communication gap between his clients, making him an excellent facilitator between his client/s and Amazon technical teams. He has always been very detail oriented, very accessible and prompt in responses and went out of his way many times to get resolutions and answers. Although being tasked with a very unique and complex case, he effortlessly managed to deal it with ease and great expertise. I would like to compliment Tony on his efforts and expertise in the whole Hiring and Recruitment cycle at AWS.

Tony and his services made an enormous difference in my job search. After six months of searching, I had landed fewer than five interviews and couldn't figure out why. I'd had my resume reviewed by other software engineers and recruiters, and everyone told me it looked great. I was starting to think the problem was me. From the very first conversation, Tony reassured me that it wasn't. He told me I had the experience and the talent, but that my approach needed a fresh perspective. When I began working with Tony, he helped me fine-tune my resume, but the real game-changer was the custom application strategy he built specifically for me. It was like a switch flipped. Within just three sessions, I secured over six interviews and received a job offer very shortly after. Tony is incredibly personable, genuinely cares about his clients, and gave me both the confidence and the concrete approach I needed to land a new role in this tough market.

I worked with Tony before negotiating my Staff offer at an AI lab, and it was an extremely worthwhile investment: I ended up negotiating an $80k increase in TC in under 30 seconds. What made the difference was having a clear 'flow chart' for how the conversation would go. When the recruiter gave me the initial number, there was no freezing up and no emotion, instead I knew exactly what to say. Tony’s advice was illuminating, and it worked immediately. I'd highly recommend Tony to anyone heading into a comp negotiation.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

If you're in the middle of a career transition and want a recruiter’s perspective while you navigate it, that’s what I’m here for.
