Our goal is to make people's lives better. By improving the recruiting process, we help impact companies grow with talented people in place, and help talented people connect with jobs they love.

Peggy Shell founded Creative Alignments in 2010 with a firm belief that the traditional recruiting landscape needed a better alternative.

Why should small and mid-sized companies be paying 20-30% of a hire’s first year salary when they need to preserve their capital for growth? And, how can a recruiter be a flexible partner to their clients if they are motivated by a commission windfall?

Peggy’s solution was a unique hourly billing model and powerful client-centric approach – one that has led Creative Alignments to become a significant leader and trusted partner among growing companies. By simply charging clients for the time it takes to fill a role, our ultimate motivation is to be our client's partner. We can be a consultant and expert extension of their team to find the talent they need to grow in a strategic, cost-effective and efficient way. Learn more about Time-Based Recruiting.
