Specializing in the "messy middle" of growth, she provides fractional HR leadership and technical recruiting that feels like having an in-house team member. Whether it’s finding niche engineers for deep-tech startups or building an HR backbone from scratch, Whitney acts as an embedded partner to help companies scale without losing their soul. Before establishing Iridium Consulting Company, Whitney honed her expertise at award-winning recruiting agencies and in operational leadership roles. She leverages this background to offer a unique blend of "agency-quality" recruiting results without the high fees, combined with the strategic insight of a Chief of Staff. Her core focus includes full-cycle technical recruiting, HR systems implementation (ATS/HRIS), and strategic workforce planning. Whitney is also a dedicated community leader who has served on the board of the Young Professionals in Energy (YPE) and as the Director of Marketing for the Women's Energy Network (WEN) Colorado, part of an international organization of 8,000+ members. Passionate about creating unique spaces for connection, she also conceptualized and led highly successful women's fly fishing clinics to foster community in the outdoors. Outside of work, Whitney can usually be found fly fishing or rambling around the Colorado mountains where she grew up. --- [Follow Whitney's Latest Insights on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneyvancleave/) ![Caley Van Cleave Co-Founder and Managing Partner](https://www.iridiumconsultingcompany.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Celey_2J6A0608_SQ_Web-2.jpg?width=400&height=400&name=Celey_2J6A0608_SQ_Web-2.jpg "Caley Van Cleave Co-Founder and Managing Partner") --- #### Areas of Expertise: **Recruiting** **Talent Management** **WC & Business Insurances** **Benefits Sourcing & Selection** **Compensation Strategy** **Sales Strategy** **Partnership Development** **Risk Assessment & Advisement** **Executive Advisement Regarding:** **Mergers & Acquisitions** **Services & Products** **Verticals & Industries** **Revenue Streams** **Transition & Succession Planning** ## CALEY VAN CLEAVE #### Advisor Whether navigating new growth strategies or landing top talent, she has worked hands-on with business leaders finding valuable solutions for most of her career.
