Where I plug in depends on where you are.

Not sure where to start? Start with the Intensive. It’s the entry point for every engagement — you leave with a direct point of view, and the $350 credits toward any larger scope.

Talent Strategy Intensive

60 minutes. You bring the high-stakes talent decision — reorg, hiring reset, ATS overhaul, build-vs-buy call. I bring senior-level thinking and a direct point of view you can move on immediately. Every engagement starts here: it filters for fit and the $350 credits toward any larger scope.

Credits toward any larger engagement

Greenhouse ATS Build & Optimization

Inherited an instance nobody configured right, or starting from scratch? I scope and build the architecture, automations, and integrations that make Greenhouse actually work for your team — not just technically, but operationally. Flat-fee starting at $4,500.

AI Recruiting System Build

Custom AI workflows — not a generic tool subscription. I build systems that compress recruiting plan creation from hours to minutes, automate job descriptions and outreach, and measurably increase what your team can do without adding headcount. Starting at $5,000.

Layoffs with Dignity

A reduction in force done badly damages your Glassdoor rating, erodes trust across the team that stays, and follows your brand for years. Done right, it honors the people leaving and strengthens the culture of everyone who remains. Every engagement is human-led, custom-scoped, and priced per cohort.

Talent Leader Event Planning

Premium talent community events — from intimate Talent Leader dinners to large-scale employer brand activations. I bring an operator’s eye to logistics, content, and attendee experience so your event actually drives the outcome you care about. Flat-fee, scoped to complexity.

AI Workshop for TA Teams

A single, facilitated 2–3 hour working session for your TA team — built around your actual tools, your actual workflows, and what your recruiters need to stop doing manually. Not a webinar. A session where your team practices, builds habits, and leaves with a framework they can run the following Monday. $2,500 flat, teams up to 12.

Ashby ATS Implementation

Ashby is one of the most powerful ATS platforms on the market — and one of the most under-configured. I’m completing my Ashby certification and will offer full implementation, migration, and optimization engagements.

Free guide

Your team shrank. The hiring didn’t.

A one-page map of what to hand to AI and what to keep human — so a lean team can hire like a bigger one without losing great people to a bot.

The approach

Talent acquisition, treated like the systems work it actually is.

Operator lens, not theory

I’ve built from inside seed-stage startups and 140-person scale-ups, leading hands-on recruiting while sitting close enough to the executive team to know exactly what “ready on day one” needed to mean for each role.

Systems over sourcing

Most hiring problems aren’t pipeline problems — they’re evaluation and infrastructure problems. I build the structured systems that produce consistent decisions and measurable outcomes at scale.

The full arc

Growth is one chapter. AI transformation is another. And sometimes the most important work is how you manage a transition. I operate across the entire talent lifecycle — wherever the highest-leverage problem is.

Track record

Built for the stage you’re actually at.

Syndio

Currently serving as Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, managing 60+ Technical, AI, and GTM roles with a 95% offer acceptance rate and 32-day average time-to-hire. Driving ATS optimization and AI-powered workflow automation embedded in the people team.

ComplYant

Scaled the team from 19 to 58 in 9 months as the sole recruiter and People Partner at a pre-seed FinTech startup. Led full-cycle recruiting for 42 mid-to-senior Technical and GTM hires while concurrently building out succession planning, performance management, and internal mobility infrastructure.

CodeSignal

Joined as EA to the CEO while running recruiting concurrently, establishing the TA function and closing 40+ senior R&D hires with a 95% offer acceptance rate. Scaled the team from 34 to 75, was promoted to Candidate Experience Lead, then continued driving growth to 140 during Series C by advising functional leaders on market-based hiring trade-offs and building structured candidate experience frameworks.

YiYiEnglish

Joined as employee #9 in a People Ops capacity at this early-stage EdTech startup — proof that zero-to-one people infrastructure is where I’m most at home. Built foundational hiring and people systems from the ground up at the earliest stage of company formation.

About

Ten years in. Still doing the work, not just advising on it.

LAM Talent is the consulting practice of Lusely Martinez — a Global Talent Acquisition Partner with 10+ years of experience scaling high-growth teams from Seed through Series C. With a background spanning Technical (Eng, AI/ML, Product, Data) and GTM (Sales, Marketing, Ops) hiring, she brings the operator’s lens of someone who has built inside companies like CodeSignal, ComplYant, and YiYiEnglish — where she joined as employee #9. Early-stage is where she’s most at home.

She’s a SHRM-CP, Ashby-certified (in progress), and co-founder of the NYC chapter of Talent Collective. Every engagement is structured, data-backed, and built around your company’s specific goals — not a generic playbook.
