My work sits at the intersection of AI hiring, engineering hiring, and compensation strategy, so I tend to look for the tradeoffs behind each decision. If you'd like, share what you're evaluating and we'll explore it together.
About
Hi, I'm Bharat Goel. I'm a Principal Talent Advisor specializing in AI and software engineering organizations. Over the past decade, I've partnered with CTOs, engineering executives, founders, and hiring leaders to scale engineering organizations by hiring exceptional talent across AI, platform engineering, distributed systems, infrastructure, backend, and engineering leadership. I don't just help companies hire engineers - I help leaders make better organization-building decisions. My work spans: • Organization design through hiring • Engineering leadership hiring • AI hiring strategy • Compensation benchmarking • Executive hiring • Interview design • Candidate assessment • Offer negotiation • Talent market intelligence • Engineering career advisory Whether you're building your first engineering team, scaling from 0 to 500 engineers, hiring technical leaders, or planning your own career, I'm here to help you make informed decisions. Ask me about engineering hiring, organization scaling, AI talent, compensation strategy, interview preparation, recruiting excellence, or career growth. Because great organizations aren't built one hire at a time - they're built through consistently making the right hiring decisions.
