With a master’s degree in Opera, Jen Paxton didn't think she would have a career in talent acquisition, however, she fell in love with helping candidates find the right role. She started her career at a recruiting firm placing technical professionals, then after a few years moved in-house. She has grown teams at later stage startups like Fiksu and LevelUp and built Recruiting and PeopleOps strategies from scratch at small startups like Logentries and TrueMotion. Now at Privy, a 38 person startup who helps small to medium size eCommerce businesses grow their consumer base, Jen will lead their Recruiting and PeopleOps strategy and plans to grow the team to 50-60 people by December 2019.
