Yisel De Leon

As a proud born-and-raised New Yorker, I came to San Francisco in search of a new adventure—and over five years later, I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. The city has offered me more than just a change of scenery; it’s been a place where I’ve grown both personally and professionally. My journey into recruitment began long before my career officially started—I’ve always had a natural instinct for helping people find fulfilling careers, even in my pre-professional days. Whether it was guiding friends or family toward their passions or offering advice on career paths, I’ve always found joy in connecting people to their next big opportunity.

What excites me most is the ability to develop meaningful relationships and play a role in shaping someone’s career journey. Helping individuals advance in their professions and challenge themselves brings me immense satisfaction. Being in the heart of technological innovation here in San Francisco is both inspiring and exhilarating. I’m constantly learning, adapting, and pushing myself to grow, and I’m passionate about helping others do the same by connecting them with roles that align with their values and aspirations.

In my downtime, you’ll often find me indulging in my love for cooking—though I must admit, while my dishes usually look great, they don’t always taste quite as impressive! To balance out my culinary adventures, I stay active by working out, mostly so I can enjoy my love for food guilt-free. I’m also passionate about reading and mindfulness, which help me stay grounded in this fast-paced world. And, of course, I have a soft spot for animals—they bring a unique sense of joy and calm into my life.
