Fractional Recruiting & People Operations
Hiring systems that
scale with your mission.
I help mission-driven organizations build recruiting processes from the ground up — so your team can grow sustainably without the overhead of a full-time hire.
About
Hi, I'm Meredith.
With eight years of recruiting and people operations leadership under my belt, I've built and scaled hiring functions across education, social impact, and early-stage startups. From leading a national field recruiting team to standing up end-to-end talent infrastructure for mission-driven nonprofits, I know what it takes to hire well — and what falls apart without the right systems.
My approach is equal parts strategic and hands-on. I embed with your team, coach hiring managers, and design processes that actually stick — so your recruiting function runs smoothly long after our engagement ends.
I do this work because I believe who you hire shapes everything. Organizations doing meaningful work deserve a recruiting function that's just as intentional as their mission.

Services
Strategic support, tailored to your stage.
Whether you're making your first key hires or scaling a national team, every engagement is scoped to what your organization actually needs right now.
Recruiting Infrastructure
ATS implementation, interview frameworks, scorecards, and end-to-end workflow design. I set up the systems your team needs to hire consistently, fairly, and at scale.
Fractional Talent Leadership
Embedded, part-time Director of Recruiting. I lead your hiring function — sourcing strategy, hiring manager coaching, team coordination — without the full-time overhead.
People Operations Consulting
Beyond recruiting — onboarding, employee experience, and operational workflows. I help you build the people infrastructure that supports your culture as you grow.
Process
How we work together.
Every engagement follows a clear arc — from understanding your needs to handing off a system that runs on its own.
Discovery
I learn your organization, your team, and what's working (and what isn't) in your current approach to hiring.
Strategy
Together we define priorities, set targets, and map out the systems and processes that fit your culture and budget.
Build
I implement — standing up tools, writing playbooks, running searches, coaching hiring managers, and embedding with your team.
Handoff
You get documented processes, trained interviewers, and a recruiting function your team can own and run going forward.

“I've worked with Meredith closely and can say she is one of the most smart and strategic partners I've had the opportunity to collaborate with. She takes the time to truly get to know you, understand your needs, and align her approach in a way that feels thoughtful and effective. Meredith doesn't just fill roles or complete projects, she builds processes and partnerships that elevate the entire organization. Her people-first mindset, professionalism, and ability to balance big-picture strategy with the details make a lasting impact on both teams and outcomes.”
