Laura Cloney - Founder, LCTalentLab
I've built and scaled global talent teams through hyper-growth, M&A integrations, and transformations—designing the hiring systems, playbooks, and processes that help organizations execute when it matters most. I've hired at every level, from early career to C-suite, across private, public & portfolio companies.
Here's what's changed: AI, workforce disruption, and the pace of business evolution mean traditional recruiting playbooks don't work anymore. Organizations need talent strategies built for what's coming—not what worked five years ago.
That's where LCTalentLab comes in.
Fractional Talent Acquisition Leadership
Build scalable hiring systems and talent infrastructure with an experienced leader who's designed this before—without the full-time overhead. Get strategic support exactly when you need it, whether you're launching your TA function or optimizing what you have.
Executive Search
Find critical leadership talent for roles where the right hire changes everything. You get someone who's hired C-suite executives and understands what actually predicts success—not just who looks good on paper.
Let's build your team for what comes next.
