We help you rise above the chaos
Drive Talent is a woman-owned recruiting firm that believes in the universal potential for greatness in everyone. We are here to drive diverse talent to our clients. We look for matches with the foundational belief that we all want to achieve greatness, be a part of the world around us and make a positive impact. We believe that you can build a fitting team and culture by stepping out of the box and placing value on individual uniqueness.
We rise above the chaos to protect and curate critical human connection and chemistry during a time when recruiting has become commoditized and can omit what makes companies and candidates unique.
Woman-owned recruiting firm focused on diverse talent
We partner with you on your C-Suite, Tech, Sales and Marketing needs, and specialize in identifying diverse talent.
We are talent leaders who also possess internal recruiting experience within companies like yours. We understand the challenges internal recruiters face and step in to serve as a true partner and lighten the recruiter’s load. Our proven search process, industry focus and diverse network of talent and enterprises set us apart through intelligent matches that consider fit on every level.
Our recruiting framework harnesses the power of targeting passive candidates, which can unlock profiles you may have not have otherwise had the opportunity to consider.
Driven by integrity and respect
We work under a set of core values which include:
Service
We work to bring value to the table in the form of repeatable solutions, and thorough assessment and confirmation of your needs.
Integrity
Our relationships are built on strong, trust-based foundations, including open and honest communication.
Teamwork
Every interaction begins and ends with open collaboration—we not only partner internally toward your benefit but are unconditionally an extension of your team.
Respect
Our culture is inclusive, trust-based, and respectful, and work to encourage and evoke this philosophy for our candidates and within our clients.
Good culture fit is a gift that keeps on “driving”
Culture matters! In emerging industries and earlier stage companies, culture fit can make or break a new hire’s impact and, ultimately, your business’ success. Do not make the mistake of shrugging off culture as something that will take care of itself—it is within your control.
At Drive Talent, our experienced professionals encourage a transparent dialogue regarding your current culture, and offer a culture assessment to determine necessary shifts to foster healthy growth. We want to partner with you to ensure an inclusive environment and utilize this work to then identify and place strong talent. Our team’s 50+ years of combined recruiting experience translates to matchmaking intuition that is difficult to replicate with an in-house recruiting process.
Who works with us?
Our clients include companies across industries and at all stages of growth. We provide particular impact to those experiencing aggressive growth or a transformation within leadership. We work with talent at the Executive level as well as individuals within the Tech, Sales and Marketing functions. Notably, we have successfully completed executive-level searches within the cannabis industry, and understand how to attract appropriate talent from relevant industries outside of cannabis.
