Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamantha Garcia is a seasoned university recruiter with nine years of experience building campus programs and early-career pipelines, currently leading university recruiting at Riot Games. She progressed through recruiting roles at Riot after earlier coordinating professional development and performance programs at Manatt and student affairs roles at UCLA and UC San Diego, giving her a rare blend of higher-education advising and corporate talent strategy. Samantha specializes in connecting technical and creative talent—particularly game-focused candidates—to internship and entry-level roles, and she runs Riot’s timeline for summer internship hiring cycles. Her background in education (M.Ed.) informs a research-driven approach to candidate development and program design, while her side identity as a software engineer and game-dev content creator gives her credibility with engineering candidates beyond typical recruiter experience. Colleagues describe her as a practitioner who translates academic advising frameworks into scalable recruiting processes that improve conversion and retention of early-career hires.
