Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmanda Schonfeld is an independent talent acquisition consultant with a decade of experience scaling high-performing, values-driven technical teams for mission-focused organizations. She led recruiting at the U.S. General Services Administration’s Technology Transformation Services during a rare period of rapid federal growth, doubling headcount while maintaining exceptional candidate experience and a 100% offer acceptance rate for executive hires. Amanda combines rigorous, outcomes-driven hiring processes with an equity-centered, human-first approach—standardizing structured interviews, interviewer training, and transparent candidate feedback. She leverages data and generative AI to streamline sourcing and assessment, and has a track record of growing interviewer pipelines and reducing time-to-hire in complex public-sector environments. Based in Chicago, she now partners with civic tech nonprofits and mission-driven companies to co-create talent strategies that align values, impact, and technical skill. An uncommon strength is her ability to translate private-sector recruiting practices into effective, compliant federal hiring processes.
