I am the Founder of Curious, a boutique recruiting agency that connects growth-stage software companies with top engineering and product talent in tech hubs across the US. Prior to founding Curious, I was the first in-house recruiter at several of North Carolina's most successful venture-backed startups, including unicorn company Prometheus Group. I seek out people who crave impact and are energized by the delicious ambiguity of startup life. I love helping teams get from 0 to 1.My values include honesty, curiosity, hustle, and heart, and I love working with people who share them. I'm also a proud mom, a world traveler, and a gardening enthusiast.Here's what our clients have to say:"We have worked with Ellen and her amazing team on a number of roles. As a high growth startup we had really struggled finding a recruiting partner that truly partnered with us and helped us find the right candidates for our roles. Curious has helped us source candidates from around the country and to say they exceeded our expectations on every search would be an understatement."- Edgar Thomas, Cofounder & COO @ Avise"As a tech startup, you want on your HR team a talent recruiter who can help grow your company with exceptional people. If you don’t have one, Curious is the place to go."- Keng Lim, CTO @ Anewgo“Curious has filled several positions for our company. They’ve been a pleasure to work with and have done an excellent job of vetting candidates. The quality of the employees they’ve sourced for us has been outstanding.”- Mike Caffey, CTO @ Kickfin

Corporate RecruiterPrometheus Group Jan 2012 - Jul 2013Raleigh, North Carolina, UsAs employee #25, I built Prometheus Group's recruiting program from the ground up. Within my first month I had created a recruitment process, achieved full adoption from leadership, and had hired four software developers - all of whom are still employed by Prometheus today. By the time I left PG, I had helped the company grow from 25 employees to 100 in a year and a half, with an almost perfect (98% retention rate) during that at period. I recruited talent locally in Raleigh as well as across international offices in England, Australia, The Netherlands, Brazil and South Africa. My responsibilities involved sourcing, interviewing and recommending prospective employees for employment in positions ranging from Software Development, Technical Support and QA to Sales Executives. -
Activities DirectorIndependence Village Jul 2009 - Dec 2011Addison, Texas, UsI always tell people that my first job out of college was the coolest job I ever had, and that's still true today! I was responsible for the engagement and well-being of 150 elderly residents. In addition to planning and executing a wide-range of activities, this role involved relationship building with residents and families, creation and distribution of community newsletter, and supervision of activity support staff and volunteers.When faced with steep budget cuts within two weeks of being hired I sold advertising space in our community newsletter to local businesses, effectively increasing my departmental budget by 33% in 2010 and 42% in 2011. Along with utilizing free community resources, this allowed me to fund more activities than ever before with a very limited budget. My department achieved outstanding customer surveys for three years running.To this day, I am extremely proud the impact I made on many lives at Independence Village, and enormously grateful for the transformative experience of working with members of The Greatest Generation.
