About
We are not your typical partner.
Our mission is to revolutionize the way the world hires and engages talent. We want to empower organizations to see individuals for who they are, who they can be, and who they want to be.
Our suite of services are designed to create meaningful matches between organizations and individuals in different ways that allow our clients and the individuals we support to achieve more.
Rather than make transactions, we’re here to make connections.

Our Story
Career Innovator was born shortly after Julie’s first daughter in mid-2020. As a new mother facing the idea of returning to the workforce after a high-risk and difficult pregnancy, Julie was inspired to positively change a system she’d seen fall short for years.
Julie had spent more than fifteen years working with progressively larger organizations faced with the same challenges: the talent they so desperately needed couldn’t be found and all the traditional approaches left a lot to be desired — for the organizations and the individuals.
Julie believed in the power of an individual to change the world (or an entire business) and launched Career Innovator with the mission to revolutionize the way the world hires. She believed that organizations could hire different to build better businesses. Now with the benefit of hundreds of success stories, she’s proven it to be true.
