Elliot grew up in a family of recruiters and started working in the industry when he was 16 years old. His entire career has been spent in tech recruiting. In addition to running his own tech recruiting business for many years, Elliot has also lead tech recruiting at Groupon as well as co-founding Dev Bootcamp in Chicago, which was acquired by Kaplan.

Elliot's take on tech in the recruiting industry: computers can never replace people in a human-centric business, but they can help when used to solve the right problems.
