Less than a year later, under her leadership and guidance, The Sourcery discovered its sweet spot: helping startups hire. The Sourcery’s team has now doubled while helping more than 350 companies hire hundreds of top candidates, many of whom have become hiring managers themselves.

Jessica graduated Magna Cum Laude from Colby College with a B.A in English and Environmental Policy, and she earned her M.S. in Climate Change and Marine Ecology from the University of Washington.
