About Us

Meet Rotimi

I run Haven Talent, a boutique recruiting practice focused on helping early-stage startups make high-leverage hires. With 10+ years of experience in tech recruiting, I’ve placed engineers, designers, and product managers at companies like Medium, Persona, Reflex, and Miter.

Lately, my focus has been helping New York-based startups find top-tier full-stack and frontend-leaning engineers—but I’ve also led successful searches for Principal Designers, Enterprise CSMs, and more. I keep things simple, personal, and efficient. No fluff. Just great matches.

If you’re a candidate, expect a thoughtful partner who takes the time to understand your unique skills, ambitions, and culture fit. Whether you’re a full-stack developer exploring new challenges or a Principal Designer looking for the perfect role, I’ll surface opportunities that ignite your growth. No spam, no irrelevant outreach, just positions that truly matter to your career path.
