About Leigh Lanford

I’m a people-centered recruiter with a background in leadership, enrollment management, administration, and operations. After years in higher education, I shifted into HR-based recruiting to continue my passion for helping people grow. I specialize in hiring for civil construction roles, building strong relationships with hiring managers, and improving processes that make hiring smoother and more intentional.My focus is on finding great talent, supporting hiring managers, and making the hiring process clear, smooth, and human. I’m especially passionate about relationship-building, thoughtful communication, and creating systems that actually help people do their best work.I’m driven by a simple goal: connect good people to good opportunities — and make the journey a positive one for everyone involved.
