Hiring has changed. Have you?
I've been in recruiting since 2006. I've seen every version of the job market — and helped people navigate all of them. Whether you're an individual figuring out your next move or a company that needs to hire better, I bring 15+ years of real, behind-the-scenes knowledge to the table. No fluff. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just clarity.
How I can help
Whether you're polishing your resume or building your next team, we provide focused, practical support to move your career or hiring forward.
The Application Audit A small-group session for people who are applying but not hearing back. We'll look at where your search is actually breaking down — and what to do about it. Spots are limited and curated.
1:1 sessions available for individuals who want a direct, honest read on their search strategy. No scripts, no templates — just a real conversation about where you are and what to do next.
Hiring Advisory (B2B)
For companies that need to hire smarter — not just faster. I've built hiring programs at places like Reddit and know what good looks like from both sides of the table. Fractional recruiting support, hiring strategy, and team training available.
Real results from people we've helped
Career professionals and growing tech companies trust Emily is Hiring to deliver measurable outcomes. Here's what they have to say.
Emily took my resume from generic to compelling. Within weeks of updating it with her guidance, I landed interviews at three companies I actually wanted to work for. Her insights about positioning my experience made all the difference.
Marcus Johnson
Senior Software Engineer, Seattle
We were struggling to fill our engineering roles quickly. Emily brought us qualified candidates within days and helped us refine our interview process. She understood our startup culture and didn’t waste our time with mismatches.
Sarah Chen
Founder & CEO, Early-stage Tech Startup
I was stuck in a role that wasn’t fulfilling my potential. Emily helped me think through a career pivot, identify my real strengths, and position myself for growth. The consulting sessions were direct and immediately actionable.
David Morales
Product Manager, Seattle Tech
As a second-time founder, I thought I knew hiring inside and out. Emily showed me where our process had blind spots and how to attract better talent. The fractional support made sense for our budget and timeline.
Lisa Thompson
Co-founder, Mid-stage Software Company
My career had plateaued and I wasn’t sure why. Emily’s deep-dive consulting helped me see patterns I’d missed and gave me concrete steps to move forward. I feel like I actually have a career plan now instead of just drifting.
James Park
Senior Designer, Seattle
Emily brought discipline to our hiring. We were hiring fast but not well. She helped us build a repeatable process, and now we’re bringing in people who actually fit our team and stay. The ROI on her fractional work was immediate.
Amanda Rodriguez
People Operations Lead, Growing Tech Company
