Kaleigh Locketti

Senior Recruiting Consultant

I come from a small old steel mill town in Ohio, where opportunity is slim, and most people never leave. (Kinda like Footloose, but dancing is allowed.) I knew since I was a kid that I wanted more for my future. After almost a decade of living in Chicago and having a career in Talent Acquisition, I have learned that I possess a passion for being a helper. It’s who I am at my core.

I graduated with a BFA in Theater and shortly after, I began in sales, which quickly lead me to Recruiting. I pride myself on being more of a generalist for industries and am able to quickly learn and understand the needs of a client and candidate and I have done so for larger corporations and for many startups. I love to hear people's stories and journeys and I am a big fan of the underdog, given that I am one myself. I have a track record of building from scratch, creating meaningful interview processes, and most importantly, leading with transparency in all that I do. I am a big advocate of the LGBTQ+ community, and a trusted voice for all I represent.

I do some of my best work alongside of my 4-year-old Maltipoo named Maggie. I know that our team here at Drive Talent is unique and ambitious, and we each bring a different puzzle piece to the table. I’m proud to work for a woman-owned business that cares about the future of Talent Acquisition.
