Talent Acquisition
Talent Sourcing

Full-Cycle Recruitment
We’ll manage the whole recruitment process, from sourcing candidates to making the offer.
Candidate Referrals
Our connections with industry talent makes your recruiting that much easier.
Talent Retention
SWOT + Employer Branding Playbook
Would you rather be introducing your organization to talent once you’ve got an urgent role to fill, or be the first employer on their mind when they’re thinking of making a move? Let’s gameplan the latter.
Fractional Support
HR help without the extra headcount. Interim, part-time, or project-based help? We got you.

We all know by now that employee retention and client retention go hand in hand. We’ll help with the employee part.
Reduction in Force Consulting
Because layoffs don’t have to be quite so awful.
How we help individuals
We love equipping employees with what we’ve learned behind the scenes.
LinkedIn & Resume Audits
When you want help from a recruiter on how to get found and stand out.
Career Strategy & Employee Listening

When you want to approach a salary discussion or job offer like a boss.

our story
I joined to make an impact…then wondered if it was possible.
My agency career started in 2008, fundraising to fight hunger through food banks.
A few years later I pivoted to HR, including talent acquisition, organizational development and more. I’ve met the most dedicated, impact-driven people. Worked with phenomenal agencies, building strong organizational cultures, developing staff and recruiting talent.
But nearly 20 years in, I had a bit of a mid-career crisis:
The food pantry up the street cut back service due to funding.
And a few employees who’d gone through agency layoffs…only to qualify for food stamps.
And I started to wonder whether any of my work made the impact I’d hoped for all along.
I was ready to finally get out of the industry.
Except… so much more seemed possible. And I met people who believed the same.
So I launched work.ingenuity to help fundraising agencies build phenomenal cultures and find the talent they need to succeed.
We partner on talent acquisition and talent retention with organizations who believe that people are the key to making an impact on the problems we’re trying to solve. And we’re dedicated to using business as a force for good.
So if you want to build companies or careers for good, we’re here to help you do it.
