We’re not salespeople—
We’re Talent Acquisition Consultants + Career Coaches
Recruiting built on psychology, partnership and a transparent flat fee.

We are making hiring human again— and at a humane price.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We approach hiring as a partnership, focused on understanding people, culture, leadership style, and long-term fit— not just closing a placement.

Business Development & Headhunter with a Conscience

I bring an entrepreneurial mindset, operational insight, and a strong sense of purpose to my work with Hiring Catalyst.

I spent more than a decade in the EV and sustainable technology industry at PlugShare, where I helped improve systems, support business operations, and collaborate across teams including engineering, legal, marketing, and leadership.

I’m especially passionate about renewable energy, mission-driven organizations, and work that creates lasting impact—and I’m excited to bring fresh perspective and renewed energy to the teams and clients we partner with.

My approach to recruiting has always been grounded in understanding people and being of service.

I’m not a traditional salesperson, and don't believe in salesy, dog-and-pony shows. My company offers honesty, insight, and a genuine commitment to finding the right fit—with a healthy sense of humor along the way.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and more than 25 years of experience in both corporate and agency recruiting for a variety of industries (Construction, Oil & Gas, Life Sciences, Engineering, Renewable Energy, Mining and start ups).

Also, for the past 10 years, I’ve worked as a Career Coach so I know what candidates are looking for and have a large network. Check out my sister company: www.resumecatalyst.com

THE CATALYST METHOD™

Customized Candidate focused JD

Behaviorial Based Interviews

100% Replacement Guarantee

Most job descriptions are written for internal HR documentation. We rewrite yours into a candidate-focused job advertisement that highlights your culture, leadership style, and the impact of the role—helping attract the right candidates, not just more candidates.

Every candidate we present goes through a thorough behavioral interview focused on:

• Communication and leadership style
• Cultural alignment
• Problem-solving approach
• Career motivations

Each candidate submission includes detailed interview notes and insights, not just a résumé.

90-Day Replacement Guarantee

We stand behind our work because our focus is long-term fit.

If a hire doesn’t work out within the first 90 days, we will replace the candidate at no additional cost.

**In over 25 years of recruiting, I’ve never had to make a replacement—but I include the guarantee because clients deserve that level of confidence.

01

Clarify Before You Hire

Every search begins with a kickoff meeting (Zoom or in-person) with key stakeholders.

• Company culture and leadership style

• Team dynamics and communication style
• Role expectations and success metrics
• Must-have skills vs. trainable qualities

Our Humane Pricing Model

Flat Fee: $7,000

For roles with salary range of $40-$69,000

Fee: $1,000 Culture Immersion Retainer (up front) + $7,000 upon candidate start date.

What You Get When You Partner With Hiring Catalyst

Hiring the right person isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about finding someone who will thrive in your culture and grow with your organization.

When you work with Hiring Catalyst, you gain a true Talent Acquisition partner, not a transactional recruiter sending resumes.

Flat Fee: $11,000

For roles with salary range of $70-$199,000

Fee: $1,000 Culture Immersion Retainer (up front) + $11,000 upon candidate start date.
