Raul Mendoza

The Recruiter Rapper

Raul has been a “positive instigator” in the talent acquisition space for the last 20+ years helping startups and complex businesses attract and retain top talent in variety of areas. In 2002, he walked into a staffing agency where he found his start in talent acquisition. Speaking Spanish fluently as a second language, he began as a bilingual receptionist and very quickly became an onsite director managing multiple accounts. He's worked in dynamic and entrepreneurial environments. As a founding member, he was integral in helping build a boutique staffing firm from the ground up with only 2 employees to 70+ consultants dispersed across the country remotely.

Also, as a key member of a small team, his contributions helped expand a rapidly growing gene therapy startup from 700 employees when he joined in early 2019 to nearly 2,000+. He also worked with an innovative Digital recruiting team at one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. There he crafted strategies to help attract top technical talent in Digital Productization, Digital Marketing, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

Today, he's the founder and owner of Rapido Talent an AI-Powered, On-Demand Recruitment-as-a-Service (RaaS) company that provides companies with a customized plan and execution to attract, retain, and develop top talent... in Rapido speed!
