His official title is Senior HR Manager for Microsoft IT. But Tim DiMarco’s unofficial title is ‘The Hiring Ninja’ because he’s freaky good at finding and hiring the right people for the job.

Tim can spot a future Microsoft rock star from a mile way. And he can grill them til they want to weep when he meets them up close. (Okay, that last part’s not entirely true—he doesn’t really make candidates cry—but you get the point. He’s serious biz. You don’t mess with Texas and you don’t mess with Tim.)
