Victor Garcia — Senior HR & Talent Acquisition Leader

About

I'm a results-driven HR and Talent Acquisition leader who has spent the last two decades building high-performing teams, designing people operations from scratch, and managing high-volume talent pipelines across multiple industries.

What sets me apart is the technology edge. I'm not just an HR professional who uses tech — I'm a founder and solo developer who has built AI-powered SaaS platforms from the ground up. I combine deep recruiting expertise with hands-on technical ability to automate workflows, build custom tools, and find the right talent faster than anyone expects.

I thrive in fully remote environments and bring the rare ability to see both the people side and the systems side of any challenge — whether the role is in Talent Acquisition, HR Technology, or Digital Innovation.
