Hi, I'm Abby.

How we got here.

I've spent my career inside the recruiting function of growing companies — building pipelines, interviewing candidates, coaching hiring managers, designing the processes that make hiring feel less like a fire drill. I've run TA at companies that were scaling fast, and I've been the first recruiter walking into a 40-person team that had never done this formally before.

What I kept seeing was a gap. Small and mid-size companies didn't need a full-time recruiter yet — but they absolutely needed the expertise. Their alternative was a staffing agency charging $25,000 per hire, or a founder trying to do it on top of running the company. Neither is great.

"I work the way I'd want someone to work for my own company — embedded, honest, and genuinely invested in who gets hired."

GrayWorks is the thing I wished existed: a fractional recruiting partner that shows up like an internal teammate. We use your tools, your ATS, your voice. We sit in on your hiring manager syncs. We care about the hire six months after the offer is signed. We're collaborative by default, not because it's a marketing line, but because anything else just doesn't work.

We're based in the Greater Philadelphia area, and we work with clients across the US — most of our engagements are fully remote, a few are hybrid, and we've been known to drive out for the occasional on-site hiring manager kickoff when it makes a difference.

Like a teammate, not a vendor.

We embed. We use your ATS, your email domain (or a clear alias), your Slack. Candidates talk to someone who represents your company — not an outside recruiter pitching three clients at once.

We stay honest. If a role is unfillable at the comp you're offering, you'll hear it in week one, not month three. If a hiring manager is the bottleneck, we'll say that too — kindly, but clearly.

We build things you keep. Every JD, scorecard, interview guide, and process improvement stays with you. When our engagement ends, your hiring function is better than we found it.

We don't do placement fees. Our incentive is you being happy with the work, not a commission on a signature. It changes everything about how we show up.
