# Dom Farnan > Founder of DotConnect, Recruiting leader, Author, Investor, AI Enthusiast Head of Talent | Recruiting Leader | AI & High-Growth Startups | Founder Business is my art. I build companies. For 20+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of talent and strategy. Not as a service provider. As wise counsel, to founders figuring out what they need, and to talent deciding whether to bet on something new. What I do is hard to explain and harder to replicate. Part pattern recognition, part alchemy. You can’t funnel hack your way into your next team. I prefer bespoke, IRL, through the side door. I see what’s possible in a person before the data does. I know what a company needs before they’ve named it. Then I go find the exact human being who belongs there and convince them their life will be better if they say yes. That’s recruiting. Not hiring. Not filling reqs. Recruiting. At Groq, I personally made 135 hires at an 86% acceptance rate. I founded DotConnect (2x Inc. 5000), an embedded firm backed by a small, scrappy, talented team, true partners who advise, feel like your own, and deliver without the drama. We work with a maximum of five companies at a time because depth is the only way this works. Currently leading talent at a stealth hard tech startup. Just call Dom.
