Director of HR & Finance @Climb Hire

Climb Hire’s mission is to create economic opportunity and mobility.

We train and prepare diverse and determined working adults earning below the livable wage for entry-level jobs in corporate America via four distinct learning tracks: Salesforce Administrator, Customer Experience, Google Project Management, and Financial Services. Most Climbers are between the ages of 22 and 40 and the majority do not hold four-year degrees. We’re not just a class, we’re a community. Relationship-building is at the core of our model, since we know that 9 out of 10 job seekers land roles through warm connections versus applying cold. Our community is built on “paying it forward”: we forge a network of peers and alumni who empower each other in every way, through job referrals and emotional and intellectual support. 80% of our first and second cohorts secured jobs that increased their income 2-3x.

Climbers gain, on average, $20k in their new roles. Climb Hire is a national organization headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are expanding rapidly across the country and are poised to grow by 3-10x in the next two years.
