Shannon Hines

Shannon Hines is the co-founder of Metta Tech Consulting, a recruiting firm specializing in software engineering, IT, and technical sales fields. With nearly a decade of experience in the recruiting industry, Shannon decided to establish her own firm that prioritizes active integrity, empathy, and honesty in client and candidate relationships.1

Background and Career

Shannon's journey as an entrepreneur began when she founded MTC (originally called SRLH Consultants) using the network she had built over her ten years in the recruiting industry.1 Her approach to success is rooted in developing and maintaining genuine relationships with clients and candidates.

Personal Challenge and Company Growth

Shortly after starting her company, Shannon faced a significant health crisis:

• She was hospitalized due to flu complications that led to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
• Shannon was placed in a medically-induced coma for nearly a month.
• Her recovery involved regaining her ability to speak, walk, and recover her memories.1

During Shannon's hospitalization, her wife Melissa Hartwick-Hines stepped in to help manage the business. Melissa successfully guided the company's first candidate placement while Shannon was in a coma. This experience led to Melissa becoming Shannon's business partner and co-founder of MTC.1
