About

Laura Wigglesworth is the rare talent leader who runs global hiring like a drill sergeant and still keeps it deeply human. She has led global teams of recruiters across 4 continents to define, find, assess, and hire clinical researchers, doctors, and technical health specialists in 90 countries--from Michigan to Mozambique, Texas to Tanzania. If you need someone who can work across cultures, bring efficiency, and raise the hiring bar, you need Laura!

Laura has led talent acquisition efforts for globally organizations such CARE, Living Goods, PATH, FHI 360, and JSI. Along the way, she has built clearer hiring processes, strengthened employer branding, advanced diversity recruiting practices, and introduced practical analytics to track impact.

This is a strong moment for Laura because the market is finally catching up to what she has been doing for years. Modern TA leaders are expected to blend strategy, marketing, operations, data, and AI literacy. Laura already operates at that intersection, and she is looking for a team that wants recruiting to be a true advantage, not just a service desk.
