Jessica Oliver — CEO
My career makes a lot more sense in retrospect. I started as a first in-house recruiter at a social media startup. Six months later I was Head of People — not because I asked for it, but because someone left and the company still needed to go from 4 to 40. So I figured it out. That’s kind of been the whole theme. Five years at an agency. $1M+ biller. President’s Club every year. Genuinely loved IT recruiting and was perfectly happy being great at it — until I wasn’t happy with how the industry treated people anymore. So I left. Built my own agency from scratch with no clients, no tools, and no idea how to run a business. Hired coaches, got loud on LinkedIn, and ended up with 100% inbound clients because I refused to be quiet about what I was seeing. Then I figured out that AI could do in an hour what used to take a week — and I never looked back. I vibe coded an entire federal contracting platform. Built sourcing engines in Clay that turned outbound recruiting into pipelines companies actually own. Showed up on podcasts talking about the future of talent before most people were ready to have that conversation. Now I’m VP of Talent & Workforce Strategy at Fractal, building their entire talent function from zero, and leading AI adoption across the org because I've lived what's possible when you actually use these tools. Here’s my honest take on where this industry is going: the recruiters and talent leaders who don’t understand the technology aren’t going to survive the next five years. Not because AI is replacing them, but because the ones who do get it are going to be so far ahead it won’t be a fair fight. The gap is closing fast- I'm here to help people get to the other side of it. https://claracontractai.com/ Mom of three. LEO wife. Technical Recruiter OG. Builder at heart.
