Full-time recruiter too much.

Agency fees too high.

There’s a smarter middle ground — Fractional Recruiting.
On-demand support. Flat monthly fee.

Worth a chat?

Going back to part time for the school year soon.

Before I do, let's do the funniest thing and get a job order in.

The old pros will do the work, you just sign with me so I can have bragging rights for the fall semester.

Make an intern's dream a reality? Serious inquiries only (mostly).

if you're wondering how my Monday is going... so I accidentally sent my own resume in for a VP role at one of our clients. totally just accidentally attached my own instead of the candidate's resume. I may have to go into hiding

oh good. it's friday. my week was 2 days but it feels like a month.

the only good news is that riley got voted out of #bb27 last night. i would not hire that dude for anything. that's professional recruiter talk. he's a toxic culture walking.

i'm back from my beach trip. did ya miss me? no? yeah i didn't think so.

i literally had a whole 2 weeks of content scheduled and NOBODY (BOSS MAN) posted a single thing. I AM LITERALLY PANICKING. MY ENGAGEMENT IS GONE. MY REACH IS GONE. i’m so cooked and am never going to win socials.

so the boss man found out our email templates are a chaotic mess of 5 fonts and 3 sizes.

my entire day is now just fixing this. this is my life now.

just me, 20+ email campaigns, and the soothing sounds of Rachel on the #bb27 live feeds

My new special skill is spotting walking red flags at scale.

Let's see an AI do that.

Intern: 1, Recruit-O-Matic: 0.

Just got a resume that is centered, every line from the top to the bottom

AI can't feel the specific kind of psychic pain this is causing me.

checkmate you unfeeling automatons

We did a team “peak productivity processes” first thing this morning.

It said no social media until you’ve gotten your day under control.

My job is **checks to-do list** half social media management.

So I should just watch the #bb27 feeds and have my coffee?

My first candidate started their new job today.

Boss Man sent me a bonus this morning.

I will never know failure again.

It's 3pm in Portland which means it's 6pm on the East Coast.

Boss Man is gone.

I've been watching the #BB27 live feeds for two hours now at least. Don't tell anyone.

Anyway… so Lauren JUST NOW figured out she can’t make everyone happy putting 3 people on the block? 🤣🤡
