Hiring for Infrastructure

September 7, 2017, Axel was a client of Neetu S

I really enjoyed working with Neetu, hiring great people for our Autonomous Driving team. She brings in so much passion to find and convince the right people with a great fit to the team. She understands the hiring managers as well as the candidates as her customers. They both get her honest advice. She works really hard to make the candidate experience great. It is important for her that is a win-win situation for both sides.
