Founder, SoundByte
Hi, I'm Liz.
I've spent my career in rooms where judgment matters. I worked in enterprise sales, including at Cisco, served with Canada's Foreign Affairs, and spent about a decade living and working in conflict-affected environments abroad.
I built SoundByte after seeing what broken hiring costs people. In conversations with recruiters, hiring managers and candidates, the same story kept coming up: good people filtered out by keyword systems, and employers still buried in poor fits.
SoundByte puts the hard vetting at the start, so the interviews you do run are with people worth meeting.
For small and mid-sized employers in Canada and the United States.
