About
Laura Wigglesworth is the rare talent leader who can run global hiring like an operator and still keep it deeply human. She has supported organizations working in high-stakes environments where every hire affects real outcomes, from global health to community impact. If you need someone who can earn trust across cultures, bring structure to complexity, and protect candidate experience while raising the hiring bar, that is her lane.
She has led and advised talent acquisition efforts for globally recognized mission-driven organizations including CARE, Living Goods, PATH, FHI 360, AMREF, and JSI. Along the way, she has built clearer hiring processes, strengthened employer branding, advanced DEI recruiting practices, and introduced practical analytics so leaders can see what is working and where to improve.
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.
