My Story

I built Hire Up Resources because the fractional TA market was missing exactly one thing.

Accountability. I spent 20+ years embedded inside aerospace, defense, intelligence, and high-growth tech companies recruiting for roles that don't forgive mistakes: cleared engineers, AI architects, people leaders who shape culture under pressure. I watched the same pattern repeat — agencies that pitch hard, deliver slow, and disappear the moment the fee clears.

I built Hire Up Resources to flip that model. No junior recruiters assigned to your account after the kickoff call. No black-box process. No 90-day waiting game while someone works your search between three other clients. When you engage Hire Up Resources, you get a senior TA partner who treats your business like it's the only one on the desk — because for that engagement, it is.

My edge is specificity. Twenty years recruiting cleared technical talent, managing DoD-compliant hiring programs, building TA infrastructure from scratch at companies scaling from 50 to 500, and now deploying AI-enabled sourcing tools that compress time-to-fill without compressing candidate quality. I am not a generalist. I work a narrow lane and I work it very well.

"When you engage Hire Up Resources, you get me on every call, every kickoff, every debrief. Not a coordinator. Not a sourcer. The person you hired."
