“Heidi is a great recruiter and team player,
always focused on growing their skills and
expertise in recruiting and leadership.
At Roblox, she was one of our go-to recruiters
for specialized roles relating to Game Engine,
Graphics, and AI, and worked closely with
engineers in those specialized fields to hire
the best talent around the world.
As a team player, she never says no, and is
always willing to help, and is always clearly
interested in and passionate for mentoring
junior recruiters on best practices.
She continues to grow her skills and
expertise taking classes and learning
opportunities within the company, but also
outside the company as she earns her
Masters in Business while working full time.
I recommend Heidi for any team.”
