💼 What I Offer
Flexible, on-demand recruiting for fast-moving teams.
Whether you're hiring for one role or ten, Recruiting Rebel plugs in fast.
🕒 Hourly Recruiting Support
Need an extra set of hands (and a brain) without hiring a full-time recruiter? I offer hourly recruiting services that scale with your hiring needs. From sourcing to screening to scheduling, I jump in wherever your process stalls.
Perfect for: startups, small businesses, or growing teams who need fast hiring help.
📦 Project-Based Hiring
Hiring for a few roles but don’t want a long-term contract? I handle project-based recruiting from start to finish — intake, sourcing, candidate outreach, and interview coordination.
Perfect for: founders, HR leaders, or anyone needing fractional recruiting help on a tight timeline.
👉 Flat fee or hourly options available.
💸 Contingency Search
Want a more traditional setup? I offer contingency recruiting too. You only pay when you hire, and I keep it lean and efficient.
Perfect for: hard-to-fill roles, leadership hires, or one-off searches.
🔍 Talent Sourcing & Pipeline Builds
Already have a recruiter or hiring team, but your pipeline needs love? I specialize in talent sourcing and building curated candidate pipelines using proven search strategies (no babysitting job boards here).
Perfect for: internal teams, RPOs, or companies looking to boost quality applicants fast.
👉 Hourly or project-based.

Meet Your Rebel
(AKA: Your Hiring Wingwoman)
Hey, I’m Melissa — the Rebel behind Recruiting Rebel.
I’ve spent 15+ years wrangling talent across industries like energy, biotech, SaaS, manufacturing, and more. I’ve led recruiting teams, implemented ATS systems (yep, I actually like Lever), and built pipelines that make job boards cry.
Hiring fast without cutting corners? That’s my superpower.
I plug in as your fractional, on-demand recruiter — hourly, project-based, or contingency — and handle sourcing, screening, scheduling, all the way to offer.
I started Recruiting Rebel because the hiring process needed a glow-up.
Less red tape. More results. And no disappearing acts.
Oh — and I offer discounts for companies hiring military vets (Marine wife here 🇺🇸).
Based in Tennessee, working with companies nationwide. Go Vols!
