The hiring process itself shapes culture, builds (or erodes) trust, and signals—to candidates, staff and other stakeholders alike—what your organization truly stands for.
As a recruiter with deep roots in the progressive movement, I partner with social justice groups, advocacy campaigns, and mission-driven organizations to lead effective hiring processes that are grounded in equity, transparency, and care.
Whether you're filling a critical role, building a new team, or trying to get an urgent search back on track, I offer strategic, hands-on support tailored to your specific needs.
From clarifying the scope of a role and recruiting great candidates to running full-cycle search processes and guiding thoughtful decision-making, I bring structure, clarity, and empathy to every step of the process.
For me, this isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about helping you make a hire in a way that strengthens your team, reflects your values, and moves your mission forward.
In particular, here is how I can help:
Full-Cycle Recruitment
I can support every stage of the recruitment and hiring process, from soup to nuts.
Candidate Sourcing
Your mission deserves the best people -- and the best people can be hard to find. Whether it's through targeted outreach to progressive job seekers in my talent database, leveraging my deep professional network to find great candidates, or doing broader outreach, I excel at building strong, equitable applicant pools. This can be a quick supplement to existing work or the entirety of your sourcing process.
Screening and Assessments
Have a large number of candidates? Need to screen them fast, and fairly? I can help -- be it reviewing applications, tackling first round interviews or designing a screening test from scratch. This includes bringing industry best practices around question design and test grading to reduce potential bias and give hiring managers a confident read on the candidates being assessed.
Project-Managing the Hiring Process
Getting great candidates to apply is only one part of the hiring process. Sometimes – whether it’s due to limited hiring experience, expertise or capacity – employers need help taking a strong applicant pool and turning it into a great hire. I can step in to ensure there’s an equitable, caring, and timely hiring process.
I can also provide hiring coaching, teaching the team to run equitable, inclusive processes for years to come. All with a deep emphasis on mission and culture alignment.
Scoping the Role
I can work with you and other stakeholders in the hiring process to clarify the purpose of a role, define its core competencies, and identify what success looks like in concrete terms. By separating must-haves from nice-to-haves, making sure expectations are clear and realistic, and prioritizing the work that matters most, I can help you scope a role that will lay the groundwork for a successful hire and give the new team member a clear path to succeed.
Positioning the Opportunity
People in the progressive sector want to do meaningful work at organizations they believe in, on a team that treats them well, in a context that sets them up for success. So it’s important during the hiring process to paint a compelling picture about how the work of this role, on this team at this organization (and often, at this moment in time) will allow them to meet their personal goals while aligning with their deeply held values.
As someone with a background in direct-response copywriting, career coaching and recruiting, I can help you approach this positioning in a compelling and strategic way.
Writing the Job Description
Having a substantively great opportunity doesn’t matter if good candidates are confused, unmotivated or unnecessarily turned off by the job listing. I bring fresh eyes and broad experience to ensure the job description is written in a way that’s exciting, clear, and resonant with a diverse range of candidates. This foundation ensures prospective applicants can get a clear sense of the role, in an authentic and compelling way.
