Let’s build your dream team!
Widger Talent is your on-demand talent acquisition partner. Delivering the best possible candidates at a lower cost than agencies or in-house teams. Specializing in tailored searches that prioritize fit, quality, and alignment over volume.
Frequently asked questions:
1. How is Widger Talent’s fee structure different from traditional recruiters?
I offer a simple fee structure with a replacement guarantee. This ensures you know exactly what you're paying up front, with no surprise invoices or inflated costs.
2. What kinds of roles do you typically recruit for?
I’m a true generalist recruiter with roots in tech—I began by hiring across all departments in high-growth SaaS and startup environments. Since then, I’ve successfully led searches in industries as varied as veterinary healthcare, architecture, and nutraceuticals. I pride myself on listening carefully to my clients, learning the nuances of their business, and using both my network and modern sourcing tools to find and engage the right talent. By the time a candidate lands on your calendar, they’re well-vetted and well-informed—so you can spend less time filtering and more time connecting.
3. What’s included in your recruiting services?
Everything. I handle the full lifecycle: job description refinement, job ad creation, sourcing, candidate outreach, prescreening, interview scheduling, and reference checks. I also provide hiring managers with real-time visibility into the candidate pipeline via access to my ATS.
4. How do you ensure candidate quality?
I’m hands-on from start to finish—personally screening every candidate before they ever reach your inbox. My focus is on fit, follow-through, and communication. I never push unqualified candidates just to fill a role quickly.
5. What makes Widger Talent different?
I'm not a volume-driven recruiter; I'm a relationship-driven one. Clients stick with me because I'm transparent, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping your team grow with the right people—not just any people.
6. What happens if a hire doesn’t work out?
I offer guarantee on every hire. If someone leaves or doesn’t pan out during a specified time, I’ll refill the role at no additional cost.

About us
I founded Widger Talent in 2013 to give hiring companies a better recruiting experience: responsive, personal, transparent, and results-driven. My model is built to be flexible and high-touch—whether you need one hire or a hundred. I work with early-stage startups, scaling growth companies, and established brands across industries including tech, healthcare, ecommerce, architecture, civil engineering, SaaS, hardware, and more. I’m a true generalist with a talent for quickly grasping who you need and where to find them.
I pair today’s most effective tools—advanced AI sourcing systems, top-tier ATS platforms, and asynchronous video interview tech—with an old-school human overlay: thoughtful outreach, insightful screening, and genuine relationship-building. The result? A faster, smarter, more personal hiring experience for both clients and candidates.
In addition to my own hands-on involvement with every client, I lead a trusted network of recruiters trained specifically in the Widger Talent model—smart, efficient, and relationship-driven. Depending on your hiring needs, I can tap the right team member whose skill set aligns with your industry and role type, while maintaining the high-touch service and communication that clients rely on me for.
Before launching Widger Talent, I built my recruiting chops inside fast-paced tech environments. Today, I bring that same scrappy mindset to every search, backed by proven sourcing strategies, sharp candidate assessments, and a light but clear process that keeps hiring teams in sync and moving forward.
I'm an alumna of Wellesley College and got my MFA at the University of Montana, which means I can write a job description and spot a great succes story when I hear it. Let’s build your dream team: quickly, efficiently, and with great people at the center.
