DAVID OLIVER · FOUNDERBuilt on experience
Inside the teams.
Behind the hires.
David Oliver spent 15+ years leading recruiting at high-growth technology companies, including Confluent, Splunk, and The Trade Desk. Across his career, he has hired more than 500 engineers, GTM leaders, and executives.
He founded Moonshot in 2018 to help growing companies access that experience without building an entire recruiting department.
Based in Washington, DC and working nationwide, Moonshot pairs AI-assisted sourcing with hands-on recruiting. The tools support the work. People stay at the center of it.
David also builds practical AI tools and workflow automations, from reusable prompt workflows to assessment and report delivery systems. Explore the build work →

Better technology.
Better conversations.
Hiring works best when the role is clear, the evaluation is thoughtful, and candidates are treated like people. Speed matters—but so does understanding what a team needs to succeed.
That same perspective guides our career coaching: practical advice from someone who has been on the other side of the hiring decision.
