About Kelly McCormack

I’ve been in recruiting for over 12 years and currently lead talent acquisition efforts for mission-driven teams. I partner closely with leaders to build hiring strategies that support the work behind the mission. Whether that’s scaling teams, improving how we hire, or making sure the right people are in the right roles at the right time.My background as a Division 1 collegiate athlete and youth coach shapes how I lead. I’m collaborative, competitive in the right ways, and focused on long-term results. I care about building teams that perform, developing recruiters, and creating recruiting functions that are practical, scalable, and aligned with the mission.
