“Working with Marissa was one of the highlights of my time at Figma. She is undoubtedly a fantastic recruiter – our headcount doubled soon after she joined our team. She is effective, professional, and results-oriented, but what sets Marissa apart is her patience, dedication, and natural ability to motivate and teach. She not only developed our hiring strategy, but took the time to help the whole team understand our goals and our plan for reaching them. When it came time to grow the design team, Marissa provided valuable guidance for a novice interviewer like me. Her coaching was integral to the development of my skills and I am a more confident interviewer as a result. Above all, what I appreciate most about Marissa is how much she genuinely cares that all candidates have a positive experience, from initial reach-out to final closing. She emphasized the importance of this consistently, and created opportunities for the team to grow their skills and empathy, like when she organized an unconscious bias training for the whole company. Under her leadership, interviewing at Figma transformed into a concise and warm process that was a valuable use of time for all involved. I sincerely hope I have the chance to work with Marissa again, she is the best.”
