Why Waize LLC

You get an insider, not an agency

10+ years building things in semicon and tech changes how I source — and what you get.

01
Engineer-level signal filtering
I read a resume the way a hiring manager does. No wasted interviews on candidates who look good on paper but lack depth. My technical background means I pre-screen with real precision.
02
Warm global partner networks
Years of in-region hiring built real relationships across the globe — not cold LinkedIn outreach. I know where the best engineers and leaders are, what they want, and how to reach them.
03
AI-augmented speed & precision
Trained in business analytics and agent-building, I deploy AI workflows to surface candidates faster, benchmark salaries accurately, and give you data-backed insights — not gut feel.
04
US-based point of contact
One person, your timezone, no offshore handoffs. I bridge the cultural and professional gap between your leadership team and global candidates.
05
Deep semicon domain focus
From RTL to process integration to financial reporting in fab environments — I understand the full stack. Job descriptions are built with you, not copied from templates.
06
Founder's stake in your success
As an independent firm, your win is my reputation. Every search gets my personal attention — not a junior coordinator following a script on the fifth search of the day.
How we work

A rigorous, transparent search process

From discovery to day one — every step is clear, fast, and accountable.

1
Discovery Call
Deep-dive into your role, team, culture, and technical requirements. I ask the engineering questions other recruiters don't.
2
Targeted Search
I activate our global partner networks and run AI-assisted sourcing in parallel to surface strong candidates fast.
3
Technical Pre-screen
I personally assess depth — technical for engineering roles, financial rigour for controller roles. Only the right candidates reach your panel.
4
Offer & Close
Market salary benchmarks, counter-offer risk management, and onboarding support. You get a placed hire, not just a shortlist.

Chip Design & Verification

My deepest engineering domain. 10+ years of industry exposure means I evaluate candidates for RTL, SoC, and functional verification with genuine technical precision — not keyword matching.
