SEAN BELISLE
Summary
Proven start-up talent partner that understands the level of grit and grace it takes to guide leadership through full-cycle recruitment. Driven by fostering a candidate experience based on authenticity and vulnerability, I’ve helped build high functioning teams across engineering, life sciences, operations, business development, manufacturing, product, and clinical healthcare. I’ve spent 11 years developing my craft and the last 3 years in a fast-growing start-up, where I led DEI mentorship and sourcing programs and National University Relations, which increased our underrepresented talent in STEM. With a track record of being a dependable and proactive problem solver I take great care in onboarding new team members by supporting them through a smooth recruitment process.
