Siler Recruiting's motto is derived from the ideals that Jeff Siler Sr internalized at West Point as a young man learning to become a new officer in the U.S. Army.
"To establish Siler Recruiting as the most respected and trusted recruiting agency in the high-tech industry with a steadfast focus on character and competence."
"Our mission is to empower our clients to achieve substantial growth and long-term success by connecting them with career-minded candidates who possess not only the right competencies but also the character traits that seamlessly align with their organizational culture."
My journey in the recruiting industry started shortly after serving as an officer in the military. It was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable periods in my career. I got to see first hand the impact a key individual could have on an organization. I loved helping candidates find the position that served their career aspirations. Not long after recruiting, I moved into high tech marketing and applied those experiences in Corporate America. Since then I have had startup experience in multiple companies so I understand the importance of getting the right people in the company.. For the past decade, I worked as an educator, helping students achieve their potential. I am passionate about making a difference with our companies and job seekers!
My empathy has always been my compass. Serving taught me how to meet people where they are—to listen beyond words, understand their struggles, and connect authentically. That experience across every walk of life gave me something invaluable: the ability to see people, not just resumes. When I transitioned into web development, I gained a different kind of insight. I learned how systems work, how processes break down, and how the right tools can transform outcomes. Most importantly, I understood firsthand what it takes to build something meaningful—the skills, the persistence, the right team around you. That combination—deep empathy paired with technical understanding—showed me a gap in recruiting. Too many firms hire for credentials alone, missing the people who could truly move the needle. They optimize for speed over insight. They don't understand what it actually takes to do the work. As co-founder, my mission is simple: Where Character & Competence Matter. We believe the best hires are people of integrity who genuinely want to grow—and the best companies are those brave enough to prioritize culture alongside capability. We help companies build teams that don't just perform; they thrive. And we help candidates find homes where their character is valued, not just their skills. I'm here to bridge that gap, one thoughtful hire at a time.
