A senior talent leader embedded in your business to help scale hiring, organizational design, and people infrastructure during periods of growth or transition. I partner closely with founders and executives on workforce planning, recruiting strategy, leadership hiring, and team development — providing executive-level talent leadership without the commitment of a full-time hire.

Scope of Engagement
Strategy when you need direction. Execution when you need results.
Personally leading searches for the hires that matter most. From leadership roles and key individual contributors to foundational early hires, I drive the process end-to-end — from intake and talent mapping to closing strategy — while helping hiring teams make stronger, faster decisions.
Building the systems, processes, and operating rhythms that enable hiring to scale. Engagements may include ATS implementation and optimization, structured interviewing, hiring manager training, recruiting analytics, workforce planning, scorecards, compensation frameworks, and recruiting process design.
Strategic support for the people and organizational decisions that shape company growth. Areas of focus include headcount planning, leveling, team structure, succession planning, and scaling readiness. Designed for founders and executives who need experienced talent leadership at key inflection points.
The Case for Fractional
Your business is evolving fast. Your talent strategy shouldn't lag behind it.
Founders need to focus on product and revenue—not on running a recruiting function. But the quality of a company's talent decisions ultimately shapes its ability to execute, scale, and grow.
01
Leadership without the full-time commitment
You may not be ready for a permanent Head of Talent yet. Fractional gives you senior leadership, immediate execution, and strategic infrastructure — without the overhead of a full-time hire before your business needs one.
02
Founders stay focused on the business
Your time is better spent on product, customers, and growth. I own the recruiting engine, org design, and people foundations so you can keep building what matters most.
03
Momentum over delay
Hiring too late affects culture, velocity, and your bottom line. I help you get the right people in place early, with the systems and processes to keep scaling without losing speed.
Background
Annie Forsberg, Fractional Talent Leader
I've spent the last decade helping high-growth companies build teams, scale organizations, and navigate periods of rapid change. Most recently, I spent eight years at Carta, where I helped scale the company from roughly 300 to 1,800 employees while leading recruiting across GTM, G&A, and international markets. Along the way, I built recruiting teams, partnered closely with executives on workforce planning and organizational design, and developed the systems and processes needed to support growth at scale. Today, I'm bringing that experience directly to founders and leadership teams—helping companies make critical hires, build scalable recruiting infrastructure, and create the talent foundations needed for their next stage of growth.
