Finders and Keepers of Talent

My name is Ankit Dogra and I recently moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles. I am excited to join the Hire Ventures team as a Technical Talent Consultant!  One of my favorite things about recruiting is matching the right talent with the right company.  It makes all the difference as the right talent can help shape a company’s future.

I have recruiting experience working in both the tech recruiting agency world as well as a corporate environment, providing exceptional talent to various industries including technology, SAAS, entertainment, finance and accounting, and nonprofits.

I’ve been married now for 9 years to a nurse and we have a preschool son and just welcomed a new baby girl. I enjoy hiking, going on road trips (I’ve done two cross-country road trips!), and writing in my spare time.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I’m a Talent Consultant here at Hire Ventures. I have over 5 years of experience working with and recruiting for staffing, agency, and independent corporations in the technology, healthcare, and legal industries. I help hiring managers fill high-volume roles in both production and operations.

I started my career as an Office Manager/Human Resources Coordinator, where I found my passion for recruiting and human resources. I quickly knew this is what I wanted to do long-term! There is so much I love about recruiting, like connecting with and meeting new people. My absolute favorite, though, is pairing a candidate to a role that both the candidate and the company are excited about. It is the most rewarding feeling!

I was born and raised near Alpharetta, Georgia and attended Georgia Southern University, where I earned my Bachelor’s in Communication and Arts. Despite having grown up here, I am always finding new places to explore and restaurants to try!

On weekends, I enjoy soaking up the sunshine while playing tennis or packing up the car, and going on a hike with my German Shepherd, Bane and my Fiancé, Trey. The real cherry on top is ending the day at a fun outdoor restaurant with live music! Nothing fills my soul more than traveling and spending time with family and friends over a nice bottle of wine.

Hey there! My name is Rebecca, and I’m the Digital Marketing Coordinator for Hire Ventures. I started my career here after earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications from Towson University where I also minored in Marketing.

I’m originally from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Though I miss the beach dearly, I’m loving this new city life adventure here in Atlanta! I love my role at Hire Ventures because it allows me to pursue my passion for community and I enjoy the challenge of establishing it in a digital space. My goal is to never stop learning about my field and I love creating content so much I even pursue it as a hobby!

When I’m not working, you can probably find me at a coffee shop, working out, watching New Girl for the millionth time, or planning my next Disney vacation. If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that life is short! I’m aiming to not just plan but DO. Here’s to embracing every sweet moment life gives us.

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a Talent Consultant here at Hire Ventures.

I’ve dabbled in roles in both Marketing and Finance but what led me to recruiting is my passion for building relationships and enabling others to succeed. I’m most excited about interacting with companies during their most pivotal moments of growth. I believe workplace culture is integral to success and it begins with creating a diverse and inclusive team of awesome people.

I was born and raised in Vermont, and earned my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Vermont – go, Cats! I’m still actively involved in the UVM community; currently serving on the NexGen Council for the Alumni Association and as a member of both the UVM Greek Alumni Advisory Council and Tri Delta Eta Chapter Housing Corps.

Being from Vermont, skiing is a lifelong hobby. Since moving to the South, I’ve picked up tennis! In my free time I enjoy exercising my mind and body in new ways! My favorite activities are New York Times crossword puzzles and CrossFit. I’m also a serious foodie and love trying new restaurants and recipes, always open to recommendations. Right now, I’m working on mastering the perfect chocolate chip cookie!

I am Robin Einarson and I joined Teresa as the Lead Talent Consultant in 2014. After starting my early career in the accounting field, I quickly learned that I was not where I was meant to be. When an opportunity to move into recruiting came up I jumped at the chance! I love people and working with hiring managers and candidates to understand their needs and interests was a natural fit for me.

From her professional bio:  Robin earned a BS degree in Accounting from Southeastern Louisiana University and has experience successfully recruiting for a variety of different industries, as well as a broad range in types of positions. Robin has had a great deal of experience working with hiring managers on newly created positions and navigating through the process of what is truly needed to make that role a successful addition to their team.

I have been married to my husband Brad for 19 years and we have a son in middle school and a 10-year-old daughter. We live in Cumming, GA currently but we have made our rounds in the Atlanta area, having lived in Vinings, Dunwoody, and the Emory area as well. We love traveling as much as we can, watching and attending sporting events of all kinds, spending time with our family and friends, and being involved with our church and school communities.

*Fun Fact: Years ago Robin and Teresa, along with their then fiancés (now husbands), took a ballroom dancing for engaged couples class together in preparation for their upcoming weddings.

They got married a month apart and have been dancing through HR and Recruiting ever since!

My name is Lily Rincon and I am a Talent Consultant with Hire Ventures and specialize in Sales Recruiting. I began my career as an Account Executive working closely with clients nationwide in various industries. When I was hired into my first recruiting role, I knew right away that I loved it and that I had found the perfect career!

I have since worked in both agency and corporate positions recruiting for companies in the Technology, Manufacturing, Non-Profit, and Accounting industries. I have experience partnering with hiring managers to fill both high-volume positions to build entire Sales teams and also more operational and executive-level positions. I truly enjoy working with hiring managers to navigate the entire screening and hiring process to find the right fit for their company.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism and Electronic Media from the University of Tennessee. My husband, Kris, and I have been married for five years, have a four-year-old daughter, and a toddler son. I am from Knoxville, but together we have lived in Los Angeles, Raleigh and are now enjoying making our home here in Atlanta.

We really enjoy exploring the city, spending time outdoors, sporting events, and being with friends and family whenever possible.

Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit more about me and our team!  I’m Teresa Murphey and I’m the founder and President of Hire Ventures, Inc.  I’m an entrepreneur at heart and absolutely love working with other entrepreneurs and small business owners to simplify all things HR and Recruiting!

While working in my first corporate start-up, I recognized the need for small companies to have expert level HR and Recruiting services when they need it most, without paying the high salary for a full-time resource or high dollar contingency recruiting fees.  I established Hire Ventures to fill this need, providing expert-level on-demand HR and Recruiting services to small, growing companies, making them more strategic, effective and successful.

From my professional bio:  Teresa earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management with a focus in Human Resources from Montana State University and a Professional Human Resources (PHR) certificate from the Society of Human Resource Management.  She is actively involved in a variety of Professional Human Resource, Technology and Entrepreneurial groups in Atlanta as well as in her local church and community.  Teresa is also a member of Entrepreneurs’ Organization International and serves on the board of EO Accelerator Atlanta.

I have been married for 19 years to my husband Gregg, we have two daughters who are 11 and 15 and we live in a wonderfully diverse community in Brookhaven, GA.  I love to camp (by camp I mean glamp), hike and enjoy quiet time at our cabin in Blue Ridge,  which brings me back to my Montana roots and keeps me grounded.  I love to spend time with family and friends; I enjoy good coffee, really good wine and everything in between!
