About Drew

A RECRUITER WHO ACTUALLY GETS TO KNOW YOU

I founded DrewRecruits because I believed recruiting could — and should — feel more human. With 13+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting experience at companies like FanDuel and Hard Rock Digital, I bring a boutique, relationship-first approach to every search. No spray-and-pray blasting. Just honest, thoughtful partnership from first conversation to first day.

55% average InMail response rate — well above industry average, thanks to targeted, personalized outreach.

90% offer acceptance rate — because I take the time to align candidates and companies before an offer is ever made.

B2B/B2C SaaS, Startups & Gaming — deep experience across high-growth industries including seed/series A & B companies.

AI-powered recruiting — I leverage tools like Juicebox PeopleGPT, Brainner, and Tofu to find better candidates faster.
