Meet the Decode Talent Team
Founder & CEO
25+ years as a developer and engineering leader. Shawn built Decode Talent after experiencing both sides of recruiting — lazy firms sending stacks of 20 unvetted resumes, and the rare ones who did deep work and delivered one or two candidates that almost always got hired. He built Decode to be the latter.
