Ashley S.

FRACTIONAL TALENT ACQUISITION · ONE-PAGER

Recruiting is sales.
Most teams treat it like HR.

I fix the process, the pipeline, and the close.

Obsess over candidates the way you obsess over customers so they actually want to join your team...and stick around.

01Who I am

Ashley S., fractional recruiter for founders and lean teams who need to hire well, not just hire fast. I embed into your company, learn your culture, and build the kind of recruiting process that sticks. No bloated agency fees. No full-time hire overhead.

Top talent isn't hard to find. It's hard to close. And even harder to keep. The companies that win built a story worth joining, can prove it, and treat the candidate journey like the first chapter of the employment experience.

02Problems I solve

  • Can't find the right candidates.

    ICPs, competitor maps, hidden candidate pools you didn't know existed.

  • Drowning in resumes that don't fit.

    Outbound sourcing, video outreach, targeted mapping. Not piles of inbound.

  • You hire in bursts, then go quiet.

    60 days to deliver collateral, landing pages, and a trained team you reuse.

  • No system, just chaos.

    Audit the stack, recommend tools, implement workflows that scale.

  • Candidates dropping off mid-process.

    Processes that prevent drop-offs and match how candidates actually experience you.

03What I do

Embedded fractional TA: 10 to 20 hrs/week per client, capped at 40 hrs total across clients. Focused, high-quality work. Never stretched thin. 24-hour response time.

06How I go after talent

I don't throw things up and see what sticks. In the first 24 hours I build the sales motion: the story, the positioning, the outreach that makes candidates want to know more. Two real examples:
