Recruiting expertise for companies and professionals.
I help organizations find the right talent—and help professionals tell their story when they're ready for what's next.
Welcome! I’m Ellen. In today’s world, AI can help anyone write a resume — but what AI can’t do is tell your story. With over fifteen years as a recruiter and talent strategist, I know how to translate your experience into a compelling narrative that captures attention, reflects your authentic strengths, and gets results.
Today, I bring that experience to both sides of the hiring process. I help organizations find exceptional talent while helping professionals communicate their experience clearly through resumes, interview preparation and career coaching.
I use AI thoughtfully as a tool to support strategy, efficiency and preparation—not as a replacement for human judgment, personal insight or authentic storytelling. My goal is to help professionals use today’s technology effectively while ensuring their resumes, interviews and career materials still sound like them.

NOVUS CAREER TESTIMONIALS
"Ellen transformed my resume from a boring, plain summary of tasks completed since launching my career in the nonprofit sector, to a polished, articulate, thorough and meaningful outline of the work I've accomplished as a capable professional. She invested a great amount of time and energy to ask meaningful questions with sincere curiosity about my experience in each of my professional roles to develop a resume I am proud of. But here is the best part: not only is my resume completely transformed, Ellen has an innate ability to empower. She helped me realize and own the talents and abilities I have gained throughout my career which has proved to be priceless; opening doors to countless new opportunities for me. " - Virginia Robinson
“I hired Ellen to work with me on updating my resume after not hearing back from any job applications. We worked together for about 2 months. She helped me strategize my resume based on my target job positions highlighting key qualifications and experience I have. She also coached me through figuring out the best way to articulate my experience, my goals for the future and how to answer hard interview questions. Shortly have working with her, I started hearing back from the majority of places I applied with my updated resume and then landed my dream job.” - Stephanie Condello
