Alex Libre
I began my career in technical recruiting at Google in 2016, right after graduating from Dartmouth. Since then, I've been an in-house technical recruiter, a people manager at an agency, a Head of Talent for early-stage startups, and most recently the founder of a recruiting firm, Libre Talent.
