Rachel Blanton has spent more than 15 years building and scaling global talent acquisition functions for high-growth and recognized brands. She’s led executive hiring, built recruiting infrastructure from the ground up, and implemented systems that drive sustainable hiring traction — not just short-term wins.

Over time, Rachel saw the same challenge repeat itself: growth-stage companies needed senior recruiting leadership but weren’t ready for a full-time executive hire. At the same time, experienced recruiters wanted flexibility without sacrificing credibility or impact.

Ignite Talent Co was built to solve both.

Not as a traditional agency — but as embedded, senior-level recruiting leadership that scales with the business. Strategic, flexible, and aligned to outcomes.

Rachel believes talent acquisition should be proactive, scalable, and deeply integrated into a company’s growth strategy — not transactional or reactive. That philosophy is the foundation of Ignite.
