The companies who need them just haven’t met them yet.
Long Lead exists to close that gap. Real, experienced interviewers, never AI, having real conversations and making the judgment calls a model can’t. And a bench you build before you need one.
Meet talent before you need them, because you never know who you’ll need until you do.
Who we are
Founder
Kelly started out as a designer and fell in love with building the teams instead, and has been a creative recruiter in New York ever since. Long Lead is that instinct made into a business: learn a shop properly, meet people long before there’s a req, and hand every name over at the end.
LinkedInManaging Partner
Adam comes from NHP Talent Group in New York, and has spent the past eleven years in recruitment, plus hosting 550-plus episodes of thePOZcast asking people how careers actually get built. At Long Lead that turns into the day-to-day of the partnership: client relationships, how searches get staffed, and a network most searches never get near.
