HR Recruitment Agency for US Companies
Leadyco helps US companies hire HR professionals who can build, scale and improve the people function. We recruit across HR leadership, HR Business Partnering, Talent Acquisition, People Operations, Total Rewards, HRIS and related specialties.
Our search process begins with the real people mandate: what the new hire must change, build, protect or improve inside the organization.
Start an HR Search See HR Roles We RecruitHR Hiring Should Start With the Business Problem
An HR Director hired to professionalize a 500-person organization needs a different profile from an HR leader joining a 50-person startup. A Senior HRBP in a highly regulated environment needs different depth from an HRBP focused on commercial growth. A Head of Talent Acquisition building a function from zero should not be assessed like someone inheriting a mature recruiting team.
Leadyco defines the mandate first and then builds the candidate profile around the operating environment.

Our HR Recruitment Process
HR Recruitment for Different Business Stages
Startups & Scale-ups
Early HR hires may need to build policies, processes, hiring infrastructure, manager support and basic people operations while remaining highly hands-on.
Growing Mid-Market Companies
Organizations may need stronger HRBP capability, management development, scalable Talent Acquisition, compensation frameworks, HR systems and organizational discipline.
International & Multi-State Employers
Relevant mandates may require experience coordinating across jurisdictions, locations, business units and different stakeholder groups.
Transformation & Change
Some searches require leaders who can redesign the people function, support restructuring, integrate acquisitions, implement systems or rebuild trust and operating discipline.
HR Executive Search: When Leadership Fit Matters Most
At CHRO, Chief People Officer, VP HR and HR Director level, the role sits close to the CEO and leadership team. The candidate must be able to move between people strategy and operational reality.
That may mean workforce planning, organizational design, executive coaching, talent strategy, HR governance, employee relations, culture, compensation, systems or transformation depending on the mandate.
The search therefore needs to test not only what the candidate knows, but how they influence leadership and translate people decisions into business outcomes.
Why Specialist HR Recruitment?
HR roles are often deceptively broad. Two candidates may both have “HR Director” on their resumes while one is strongest in HR operations and employee relations and the other is strongest in Talent Management and organizational change.
Specialist HR recruitment makes those differences explicit before the search begins, reducing the risk of hiring a strong HR professional for the wrong HR problem.
