I’m Anna Storozhenko, a technical recruiter with 15+ years in tech hiring. I build agentic sourcing systems to hire ML and AI talent for US startups — and I coach engineers landing roles at FAANG and the fastest-growing AI companies.
The best ML and AI engineers aren’t applying and rarely answer LinkedIn InMails. I use AI agents to find them where they actually work — and a human recruiter to win them over.
An intake agent turns your JD and hiring-manager call into a precise profile: skills, papers, repos, companies, seniority signals.
Agents scan arXiv, GitHub, conference talks and open-source communities to surface researchers and engineers who never show up in standard searches.
Every profile is reviewed by a recruiter before outreach. Agents handle the volume; people make the calls.
Messages reference the candidate’s actual work. You get a calibrated shortlist — not a spreadsheet of keyword matches.
At Meta I built a Llama-based prescreen agent used by ~15 recruiting colleagues. At ConnectHum I run Claude agents for intake, sourcing and pipeline updates — on top of our own ATS.

Anna is an exceptional tech recruiter, one of the most effective I’ve encountered in years. Our collaboration has resulted in numerous successful hires for our company. I especially appreciate that Anna doesn’t waste time on unnecessary calls, syncs, or emails — instead, she quickly understands the current need, finds a few strong candidates, sets up the interview process, and that’s it. Beyond her professional qualities, she’s also a kind and sincere person. Every conversation with her is a pleasure :)
I worked with Anna while expanding my tech team at Monite. She is truly an incredible expert! She was involved in every aspect of our hiring process: sourcing candidates, conducting screening interviews, and even helping me negotiate salaries.
She owned the entire hiring process from A to Z. Anna always does the right things. Without her help, it would have been impossible for me to build the outstanding tech team we have today.
