Strategic Operations Support for Recruiting Firms.

Petal + Flint helps recruiting firms remove operational drag, organize the systems behind the search, and give recruiters more time to do the work that actually drives revenue.

Where the Time Goes

Recruiting firms move fast. But when the systems behind the work aren't clear, even great recruiters lose valuable time.

Searches live in people's heads. Training depends on whoever has time, or the same generic videos every other new recruiter is watching. Client materials get rebuilt from scratch. Follow-up slips. Good recruiters spend too much time hunting for information instead of moving searches forward.

Petal + Flint cleans up the operational chaos so your team can work at its highest capacity, deliver consistently, and close more business.

Meet the Founder

Lindsay started in recruiting as an associate recruiter and worked her way up to successfully running a full desk. Today, she manages the behind-the-scenes operations of a recruiting firm, so she knows exactly where the friction is because she has lived it.

Her experience spans executive search, contract staffing, full-desk recruiting, and business operations. After beginning her career in 2011 with Management Recruiters of Sacramento, she moved into contract staffing and account executive roles with Healthcare IS, then ran a recruiting desk in the hydroelectric industry at J Powers Recruiting.

For the past three years, she has led business operations for Peak Demand. In that role, she has used her recruiting experience to build SOPs, onboarding programs, workflows, templates, reporting systems, and practical AI tools that help small recruiting teams operate with greater clarity, consistency, and capacity.
