Company Description
The People Project is a boutique recruiting partner focused on building diverse talent pipelines for forward-thinking startups, combining practical hiring execution with inclusive talent strategies. Founded by Eileen Leahy, a corporate recruiter and career coach, the firm bridges the gap between employers and candidates and helps early-stage companies turn their diversity commitments into measurable hiring outcomes. Its managed recruiting model spans three core pillars: Ideal Candidate Mapping to sequence and prioritize hires while defining clear, validated role profiles; End-to-End Pipeline Creation to equip teams with repeatable best practices, from interview design and structured evaluation to templates and toolkits that raise hiring bar consistency; and Employer Branding for Inclusivity to ensure first impressions are welcoming, job postings are inclusive and clear, and diversity is authentically reflected across candidate touchpoints. The People Project recruits across key startup functions, especially Tech and Data Science (including Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Architects, Data Analysts, and Analytics Managers), Business Management roles (Finance, Strategy, Operations, Consulting, and Marketing from entry level to director), and Sales (Sales Development Representatives, Account Executives, and Sales Managers). Known for building gender-balanced tech teams, the firm helps hiring managers learn to identify the right backgrounds and skill levels for current needs and future scaling, emphasizing structured processes that reduce bias and improve signal. For candidates, The People Project extends support through Hired Academy, a six-week career course co-developed and taught by Eileen, designed to provide insider knowledge, honest feedback, and community for women navigating career moves. Whether operating as an embedded recruiting function or tackling discrete hiring projects, The People Project delivers inclusive, data-informed recruiting that aligns talent strategies with business goals so startups can hire confidently today and cultivate the teams they will need tomorrow.
