So great to meet you! Here's what I bring to the table: After 10+ years in recruiting and 4 years running my own business, I've learned what founders really need: someone who gets projects done, owns the details, handles light marketing, and makes their vision happen ... without the drama. What I Do: Strategic Execution: I turn your "wouldn't it be cool if..." into "it's done" People & Culture: From hiring your first employee to building teams that actually like Mondays Ghostwriting & Marketing: Your ideas, your voice. I just make them sound like you on your best day Founder Sanity: I handle the chaos so you can focus on what only you can do Real talk: I've been the founder juggling everything. I've been the recruiter finding 'unicorns'. I've been the mom racing to pickup. Now I'm the Partner who brings all that experience to your business: remotely, reliably, and without asking you to explain things twice. I'm building a remote business that allows me to be every founder's secret weapon AND every bus stop regular, so I can be the mom who rarely misses the good stuff while helping others build something amazing. Industries I love: Education, Wine & Spirits, Hospitality, Food & Bev, Marketing Agencies & small, scrappy startups. Currently taking on select Marketing Assistant / Operations roles with founders who: • Value execution over endless meetings • Want a partner, not just an assistant • Believe work-life integration • Have ideas but not enough time to execute them Let's chat if you need marketing support, ops support, help with writing your next LinkedIn post. Recent Recruiting Placements: Administrative Assistant in 14 days for Small Business Owner HR Manager within 30 days for a growing Small Business Executive Assistant within 2 weeks from job post to hire for start-up A brand new AI Implementation Specialist Role within 30 days, 2x! for a start-up Production Coordinator after title and responsibility revision - 6 weeks Placed Reservation Coordinator within 30 days (100% remote role) Here's what a few small business owners have said about my work: “Jenn Cramer’s expertise as an HR Consultant was instrumental in helping us improve our HR processes, employee handbook, and bring in 2 top-notch new hire’s to our team. Her guidance in refining our employee handbook was invaluable, and she was collaborative and easy to work with, providing expert insight into recruiting strategies and candidate status. It was an overall seamless recruiting experience because she was timely and managed the process with me. We are grateful for her support and highly recommend their services to any business looking to elevate their HR practices and attract the best candidates. She is a great HR partner!" -Leon Kramer, LMS Brandz "Jenn is amazing to work with. She is super detailed and project focused. She asks all the right questions to make sure that anyone who needs the answers can easily and efficiently locate them. She has helped us with mapping our SOPs as well as with helping implement them by empowering managers with the tools to follow through. She has been with us through the whole process with a positive and energetic attitude making each step of the otherwise tedious process enjoyable." -Pete, Baroody Camps

Tech talent sourcer with hands-on experience building candidate pipelines for software engineering, product, and mixed tech roles. I specialize in Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter sourcing, and ATS pipeline management — finding passive candidates that job boards miss. I do freelance sourcing with sharp research instincts and a focused niche: helping startups and growing tech teams find the right people fast. I work fully async, deliver organized pipeline reports, and integrate cleanly into your existing ATS or tracking system. What I deliver on every engagement: targeted candidate lists with contact details and sourcing notes, outreach message sequences tailored to role and company stage, ATS hygiene and pipeline organization, and honest market feedback on where talent is and what it costs. Best fit: Series A–C tech startups, RPO firms, and growing companies that need a reliable sourcing partner without the overhead of a full-time hire. If you need 20–50 qualified candidates in your pipeline within a week, let's talk.

I bring a unique perspective to UX/UI design with a background in SaaS sales and technical recruiting, where I learned how people engage with technology and what drives decision-making. Now, as a UX/UI designer, I focus on creating intuitive, high-converting experiences that balance user needs with business goals. Whether it's refining user flows, improving onboarding, or designing sleek interfaces, my goal is to make digital products seamless and effective. I made the shift from SaaS sales and technical recruiting to UX/UI design after realizing that understanding people’s challenges and solving real problems was the most rewarding part of my work. That same user-first mindset now drives my approach to design. How I Can Help You: - UX/UI Design & Prototyping – I craft clean, user-friendly interfaces that enhance engagement and usability. - Heuristic Evaluations & UX Audits – I identify pain points in digital products and provide actionable recommendations. - Conversion-Focused Design – My background in sales and customer retention helps me create designs that don’t just look good but drive results. - Collaborative & Detail-Oriented – I work closely with developers, founders, and product teams to translate ideas into polished, functional experiences. I’ve worked on SaaS, fintech, health tech, and consumer apps, helping businesses create efficient, conversion-driven, and visually engaging products. If you need a UX/UI designer who understands both users and business goals, let’s connect! 🚀 Portfolio: theparkdesign.com
