Matt Somero

Matt is an excellent recruiter. Not just on agency side, but overall, he would excel in house as well. He is very detailed oriented, which is a must have within recruitment where dates/times/numbers are critical. Matt is friendly, professional, hard working, organized, and very easy to work with. He's efficient and doesn't waste your time either. Coming from an extremely high bar at Google, I am confident to say that any organization will benefit from the talent he offers.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Matt for over a year. His passion and knowledge for recruiting hard-to-fill technical positions is unmatched. I truly admire his ability to hear the hiring manager’s needs and produce solid candidates quickly. He is reliable, professional, and trustworthy. I highly recommend Matt for your hiring needs!

I worked with Matt on recruiting a couple of positions. He is one of the best recruiters I have worked with. Very easy to communicate with and did tons of groundwork to help make it easier for me as the hiring manager. I would bounce back with resumes that looked good and he followed up super fast. Sometimes speed matters when it comes to hiring really great candidates and Matt was always on the ball.

After trying to work with a couple of other recruiters, I realized how lucky I was to have Matt helping me identify strong data scientists for our team. He spent the time to work with me to truly understand the types of skills and personalities that would be a good fit, and was also helpful in identifying the factors that were most important to candidates so that we could have fruitful discussions and move to closure quickly. He is a recruiter with integrity. I highly recommend him.

For the last few years, Matt has found some of our most talented Engineers. We've worked with many recruiters and he is one of the only ones we have stuck with in the long haul because he is amazing at sourcing talent and he is dependable and trustworthy. Matt never just slings tons of resumes at you and he has good instincts about which candidates will be right for VTS. I always get the sense that Matt is on the side of VTS. I almost never feel that way about other recruiters.

My work with Matt as a candidate led me to work with Matt when I started looking to agency to help fill roles. When we worked together he was by far the most productive agency in terms of delivering high quality candidates and helping get them in the door. Perhaps more importantly, he does not subscribe to the "spaghetti against the wall" approach that most agencies follow which meant that my time with Matt was always well spent.
