Bio
Marianna Dikaiakou
I collaborated with Floyd to recruit SDEs and Senior SDEs at Microsoft over approximately 18 months. Floyd consistently impressed me with his professionalism, resourcefulness and diligence. He was very responsive and made sure to keep the process moving rapidly, was excellent at identifying candidates, reaching out and making connections, provided myself and my other hiring managers with any data and support we required and overall was the best recruiter I collaborated with in Microsoft. Overall a very experienced and very competent recruiter.

Floyd has been recruiting for my team for about 18 months. We hire for very specific roles, so and I am very impressed with the high candidate to hire conversion we have been achieving. Floyd's ability to source and screen, make everyone feel at ease, and close on the role has been unparalleled. Throughout this period, Floyd has championed diversity and inclusion, ethically, professionally and pragmatically, making me proud to work at Microsoft. Every hire we have had has been a good match, both for us, and for the candidate. I further admire his adaptability. Together, we have successfully agreed and implemented fairly custom hiring workflows, building on his ideas and feedback as much as mine and my teams'. This has given us very good hiring efficiencies both in terms of time to hire and workload on the engineers. In summary, we owe Floyd the team we are today, and I look forward to working with him again in the future. You'd be lucky to have him.
