Merrill Sonnenfeld

Merrill is the Founder of Two Rivers Talent, bringing over a decade of recruiting experience across engineering, manufacturing, and operations.

After years working both agency and in-house recruitment, she got tired of watching recruiters play the volume game—flooding clients with resumes and hoping something stuck. She started Two Rivers Talent to take a different approach: custom strategies, real relationships, and hiring that's built to last.

She specializes in medical device and industrial automation, where precision and problem-solving matter most. Whether it's a critical leadership hire or building out a team for rapid growth, Merrill digs deeper than job descriptions—evaluating technical expertise, critical thinking, and cultural fit to find people who deliver results and grow with your company.
