About vfulco2

I am building a Hiring-Support-As-Service (HSaS) platform to assist SMBs and startups to hire better. Think recruiting tools & services with an unbiased, affordable fee structure.

Previously I worked on Wall Street for 24 years as an investment bank analyst, hedge fund portfolio manager, and derivatives trader & strategist. Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vfulco/.
