STRONG CANDIDATE PROFILE: - Direct recruiting experience at hyperscalers, neocloud providers, colocation companies, or large-scale data center operators. - Experience hiring data center technicians, critical facilities engineers, site sourcing professionals, construction managers, or infrastructure operations leaders. - Established relationships within data center, power, construction, or infrastructure development communities. - Experience scaling teams across multiple data center locations or supporting rapid infrastructure expansion at a high-growth company.
