About Mike Leary

Mike Leary has spent over 30 years building global recruiting engines, including three IPOs at Anaplan, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and NetSuite. He built Zenefits’ recruiting function from scratch and ran a 300-person TA org at SAP responsible for 15,000+ hires annually.

At Rippling, he scaled the recruiting org from 40 to 190+ while growing headcount from 2,000 to 5,000+ across 45 countries. His belief: global hiring doesn’t fail because of the market. It fails because nobody asked the right questions before the first req went live.
