Shannon Long

Shannon Long

Senior Talent Advisor

Hello! I am Shannon Long and I am a Senior Talent Advisor at Hire Ventures. I provide fractional and project-specific HR support to our clients. I have a passion for assisting companies in maximizing revenue by providing an excellent employee experience.

My career started with Lockheed Martin, providing HR support for a classified defense program. After having my first child, I took a year off. When I re-entered the workforce, I took an HR position providing support to a State of Colorado Legislative agency. After having my second child, I decided to hang up my HR corporate hat, for what I thought was forever. I began my own HR consulting company that provided career assistance to individuals. I returned into a corporate role leading the HR function for start-up insurance companies. In my last role, I helped grow the company to over 800 employees.

In my free time, you can find me at the lake with my family, digging in my garden, traveling the world or hanging out at the barre.

Teresa Murphey

Teresa Murphey

Founder and CEO

Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit more about me and our team! I’m Teresa Murphey and I’m the founder and CEO 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 various 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 has served on the board of EO Accelerator Atlanta for multiple years.

I have been married for 20 years to my husband Gregg, we have two daughters and 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!

Princy Antony

Princy Antony

Technical Talent Sourcer

Hello, I’m Princy, and I’m a Technical Talent Sourcer here at Hire Ventures.

I started my career as a software engineer – I have my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and my Master’s in Software Engineering. Though I had two engineering degrees and two years of experience in IT, I knew I had a passion for recruiting I needed to pursue. That’s when I took the leap to do what I love not what my professional experience was and accepted an agency recruiting job. I fell in love with recruiting, fast forward a bit, and here I am at Hire Ventures!

One of my favorite things about sourcing, specifically, is getting to talk to people and learning new tactics, techniques, and tools to source the right candidates.

Outside of work, I love cooking, painting, and pencil sketching. If I were to paint a picture of a perfect weekend, it would be my family enjoying each other’s company in a beautiful snowy place.

Doris Caldwell

Doris Caldwell

Administrative Coordinator

Hello, I’m Doris and I’m the Administrative Coordinator at Hire Ventures.

I’ve worked in a variety of roles throughout my career from technical support to marketing, process engineering, and project management. I also spent several years working in the auditing industry. I’m thrilled to now have the opportunity to use my diverse skillset at Hire Ventures – a company whose values and goals align with mine.

What I enjoy most about my role as the Administrative Coordinator is getting to help my co-workers be successful with their goals by making their day easier and better!

In addition to my love for organization, I’m also passionate about live music and learning about other cultures. I actually spent a year of college living in France! The experience of being fully immersed in the French culture and language has had a huge impact on who I am today.

Lily Rincon

Lily Rincon

Senior Talent Consultant

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.

Lauren Weghorst

Lauren Weghorst

Senior Talent Consultant

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 husband, 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.

Kelly Rector

Kelly Rector

Success Manager, Operations

Hi! I’m Kelly Rector and joined Hire Ventures as the Success Manager, Operations.

I started my career in recruiting and landed my first job by answering a NEWSPAPER ad! Since then, my recruiting and HR career has taken me down many paths – executive search, managing staffing on-sites at Fortune 500 companies, HR operations, and eventually the tech side of the business and HR Technology.

Throughout my career I’ve witnessed a lot of change. Though I love variety and the opportunity to learn new things, the one thing that has remained important to me is the value of personal touch. That is why I am thrilled to have joined the team here at Hire Ventures!

To me, a weekend well spent is one where I get to enjoy the outdoors, hike, read, and spend time with my family and friends. I also consider myself quite the “movie buff.” My husband and I have recently gravitated towards foreign language shows!

Ankit Dogra

Technical Talent Consultant

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.
