Finding the key hires that hold your team together.
A focused shortlist of qualified candidates, not a stack of résumés. We look for the right fit on both sides of the desk, for the company and the candidate.
Not a stack of résumés.
Like the keystone that holds an arch together, the right hire strengthens everything around it. Here is how we find that person.
We listen first
Before we look at a single résumé, we learn your business, your team, and your culture, and what success in the role really looks like.
We search and vet
We reach beyond the job boards and talk with every candidate ourselves, looking at skills, motivation, and how they will fit your team.
You meet a focused shortlist
You see a small group of qualified candidates who fit the role and the team, so your time goes to the conversations that matter.
A good hire works for everyone.
Backed by hands-on HR and recruiting leadership experience, we focus on hires that succeed long after the offer is signed.

Recruiting with an HR leader's eye
Mel Adams founded Mel Adams Recruiting in 2023 to bring a more personal approach to hiring. With hands-on HR and recruiting leadership experience, she knows what happens after the offer is signed, and she recruits with that in mind.
Every search gets her personal attention: understanding what the company truly needs, getting to know each candidate as a person, and making introductions only when the fit is right on both sides.
