Alighted Recruiting — A Witty Entertainment Company
Fractional talent acquisition and sourcing for startups and scale-ups that need a hire made — the roles that have been open too long, the searches nobody else could close.
An add-on to Alighted"The role that's been open for three months isn't a job posting problem — it's a search problem. Fix the search, and the hire follows."
The Alighted Recruiting Approach
Who We Work With
We come in on a fractional basis — no full-time recruiter overhead, no ramp time. Just the search, run start to finish, on the roles that matter most.
Early teams making a critical hire without the bandwidth or budget for a full in-house recruiting function yet.
Growing companies that need to move fast on multiple open roles without dropping candidate experience.
The searches that have stalled — niche technical roles, leadership hires, positions that have been open too long.
University recruiting, career fairs, and hiring events that need someone who's run them before.
What We Do
Building a real pipeline for the roles that matter — not just posting and waiting.
CoreStructured evaluation so what reaches the hiring manager is worth their time.
CoreCareer fairs, campus programs, and hiring events, planned and staffed end to end.
ProgramsGetting a strong candidate to yes, with a process that respects both sides of the table.
CloseOngoing monthly support for teams with ongoing hiring needs, without a full-time headcount.
RetainerDEI-focused sourcing strategy and ERG partnership, built into the process, not bolted on.
ProgramsOur Commitment
Every search is filtered through one question: is this the right hire for where this team is headed? We're not measuring success in resumes forwarded — we're measuring it in offers accepted.
We take on the searches that have stalled — niche roles, leadership hires, positions that have sat open too long.
Fractional means we start sourcing immediately — no onboarding period, no learning curve on the basics.
Every candidate presented has been sourced, screened, and assessed against the actual role — not just keyword-matched.
You'll know exactly where every search stands. No black boxes, no vague updates — clear reporting on strategy, pipeline, and next steps.
How It Works
From first conversation to signed offer — here's exactly what to expect.
Tell us about the role, the team, and what's made it hard to fill so far.
A real conversation about the role, the market, and what a strong candidate actually looks like for this team.
A sourcing strategy mapped to the role, with clear timelines and check-in points.
Outreach, screening, and pipeline management running in parallel so momentum doesn't stall.
An offer goes out, a candidate accepts, and the role is filled — with someone who's actually right for it.
"I get called in when it's hard — the roles that have been open too long, the searches nobody else could close."

Ready When You Are
We take on a limited number of searches at a time so every client gets full attention. Start with a short intake and we'll follow up to scope the role.
We respond to every submission, typically within a few business days.
