About Simone K.

I’m a systems-minded talent professional with 6+ years of experience scaling fast-moving teams across clinical, GTM, and operations functions in startup and growth-stage environments.I’ve done the full spectrum of recruiting and talent operations work, from sourcing and full-cycle recruiting to scheduling, onboarding, and building backend processes from scratch. My sweet spot is sitting at the intersection of recruiting and operations, where candidate experience meets metrics and hiring runs smoothly without losing the human touch.I’ve supported hiring across a wide range of roles, including licensed mental health providers, GTM teams, and G&A functions, adapting sourcing strategy, process, and tooling to the business and regulatory context. Along the way, I’ve helped scale teams from 85 to 250+, built pipelines that convert, and contributed to offer acceptance rates consistently above 93%.I’ve partnered closely with hiring managers, Clinical Ops, and cross-functional stakeholders at companies like Warner Bros, Chili Piper, Octave, Cartwheel, Little Otter, and 15Five, reducing friction, improving hiring velocity, and fixing inefficiencies before they become fires. Ops and talent strategy are my love language🧠 Neurodivergent thinker with a strong instinct for process optimization Disabled Air Force veteran with a figure-it-out mindset Remote-first.
