The person behind the grove

Hi, I’m Heather.

I’ve spent 12 years in talent acquisition doing a job I was genuinely good at, and watching it get done wrong everywhere I looked. Candidates ghosted. Hiring managers left unprepared. Small businesses growing fast with no real recruiting function and no idea how much it was costing them in bad hires and missed opportunities.

I started The Talent Grove because I believe hiring should feel human on both sides of the table. I bring strategy, empathy, and a whole lot of real-world experience to every search, and I show up for my clients the same way I want their future employees to show up for them.

This is founder-led, always. You work with me. From the first conversation to the first day on the job.
