Founder & CEO
Hi! I'm Kaylee. I'm a mom, entrepreneur, and team builder.
I started my career in agency staffing and, after 4 years, shifted in-house and was the Head of Talent Acquisition for two hyper-growth startups in Atlanta. After 5 years of being on the inside, I decided to start Estes Group to bring my internal recruiting expertise into the agency recruiting market.
As a Head of TA, I spent a lot of time fielding cold calls and emails from agency recruiters. I also spent time vetting potential recruiting partners and often left those meetings feeling like I wanted to work with someone who "gets it"... but no one really understood the challenges we faced.
So, in January 2023, I went out on my own and founded Estes Group to help companies make better hires. We approach our work and partnerships with the lens of an internal recruiter.
We offer embedded recruiting services (our favorite!) and contingent staffing.
When I'm not working, I am driving my minivan around Atlanta, shuttling my three kids to all their activities.
