Jonny Leighton is a talent leader with nearly a decade of experience spanning agency recruiting, in-house roles, startup studios, and agency ownership. He began his career at Robert Half, where he was a President's Club winner and learned the discipline of speed, precision, and execution at a high level. That foundation shaped his understanding of what great recruiting looks like when results matter.

From there he moved in-house and into startup environments, gaining firsthand exposure to how hiring decisions affect product velocity, team dynamics, and company outcomes. Having worked all sides of the hiring equation gives him a rare perspective: he understands what founders need, what investors expect, and what candidates actually care about.
