Andrea Desiderio, Partner
Andrea has 22 years of Technical Recruiting experience mainly in the High Tech industry in Pittsburgh. In 1998 she started at FORE Systems, a networking start up, where she hired over 100 software and hardware engineers from around the world. After FORE was bought for $4.5 billion, she went to another start up called Spinnaker Networks, where she hired over 70 engineers as the sole recruiter using a very limited budget. Spinnaker was also bought by Network Appliance and still has a strong team here in Pittsburgh.
At Hire Demand, Andrea has since supported clients placing cutting edge R&D Engineers and building teams on retainer as well as contingency. She has a B.S. in Communications from Clarion University.
