After a decade of building organizations at Aerotek, Tesla, CloudKitchens, and Included Health, Scott Ford founded R.I.S.E., a technical and executive recruiting firm that partners with well-funded, early stage start-ups. R.I.S.E. specializes in finding and placing talent within the following disciplines: Hardware, Manufacturing, Automation, Construction, Design, Supply Chain, Aerospace, Product Management, Strategy & Go-to-Market, and Engineering. We do our best work in finding critical, foundational roles that are essential to a company's mission. We pride ourselves on the ability to translate the hard skills needed for a role to something that any candidate would be proud to work on and be associated with. We have the most success in filling highly skilled individual contributor roles (senior level or above) and executive & leadership positions (lead to C-suite).
