André Filipe Guerra Marques — Tech & Product Talent Acquisition

Quality over volume.
Every time.

I'm a Tech & Product Talent Acquisition Specialist with a background in psychology — which means I approach hiring with both analytical rigour and genuine human insight. I specialise in sourcing senior Engineering talent across Frontend, Backend, DevOps, Cybersecurity, Cloud, and Data.

I thrive in environments where the focus is on understanding the business, the technology, and the people — not just filling roles. My approach combines advanced Boolean architecture, multi-platform sourcing, and AI-powered tools to find the candidates others can't.
