Founder of Ataraxis, where I build global teams for U.S. healthcare, legal, and B2B services firms. And Kofi Group, where I work directly with VC-backed startups to fill senior engineering and product roles. Over the past 10 years, I've seen hiring from both sides: Silicon Valley startups paying $250k+ for engineers, and $11-15/hour offshore operators that sometimes outperform entire domestic teams. I analyze hiring patterns across early-stage startups, private healthcare practices, small businesses, and global labor markets.
