Lauren McKiver
Founder & CEO
Hi, I’m your trusted Talent Acquisition Consultant. My recruitment journey began in 2007, while I was proudly serving in the United States Army. What started as a duty quickly became a calling, helping people find careers where they can truly thrive. Since then, I’ve spent many years deeply rooted in the world of talent acquisition, gaining the kind of insight that only comes from real-world experience. At The Ardent Group, I’m on a mission to bridge the gap between passionate professionals and purpose-driven employers. I believe that everyone deserves to feel fulfilled in their work, and every organization deserves a team that fits its culture and vision. Whether you’re an employer looking for the right talent or a job seeker searching for your next opportunity, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. My approach is grounded in compassion, integrity, and results. Clients trust me not just because I deliver, but because I listen, care, and make their goals my own. I’m proud to offer top-tier consulting services that are both impactful and accessible, because I believe excellence should never be out of reach. When you work with The Ardent Group, you’re not just hiring a consultant you’re gaining a partner who’s genuinely invested in your success.
​
Looking forward to this Partnership,
Lauren
