Hannah Ryan Smith — CEO

Connecting with people is what I do. It's the theme that runs through all facets of my life as a recruiter and as an artist. My approach to my work centers around developing relationships. With every project I undertake, I endeavor to find a way to dig into what inspires people so that we can find some common ground. It’s just the humane thing, really—to understand the taxonomy and makeup of your network if you're going to leverage it meaningfully. It's critical to know not just how you can convert a potential candidate from your connections or get favors that might elevate your career, but to really think about how you can help them. That kind of investment, in my experience, yields invaluable returns. Ultimately, and it sounds a bit Utopian, I want to help everyone whom I cross paths with to achieve success and fulfillment. However they define it. Matching someone with the right role, the right project, the right team of people who share the same values or approach - that is what lights me up.
