Meet The Presenters:

Riley Scardina // Principal Recruiter
I moved to Denver from Upstate NY 11 years ago and haven’t looked back since! I’ve been a tech recruiter for nearly 10 years, six of which have been at Code Talent. My favorite aspect of being a full desk recruiter is driving individual and company growth but from behind the scenes, like a ninja. On weekends, I enjoy some hot wings!

Bret Smith // Principal Recruiter:
Husband. Baby Dad. Dog Dad. Cat Step-Dad… I’ve been working in tech for over a decade. After a successful early career in civil engineering, co-founding a tech start-up put me on a path that eventually led to tech recruiting. Why is this a great job? We work with fascinating companies. Plus - it's a great excuse to talk with incredibly bright people on a daily basis.
