Why HireMoxie?
Recruiting Is Our Passion
Where “Moxie” Came From
Early in my career, after filling a particularly tough role, a client said to me: “You’ve got moxie.”
It stuck.
Not because it sounded clever, but because it perfectly described the way I work. Moxie is grit. Confidence. Tenacity. It’s doing the uncomfortable work, asking better questions, pushing past “good enough,” and not backing down when the search gets hard.
When I launched my own firm, the name was obvious.
Finding truly great talent takes moxie – and that’s exactly what we bring.
Why Moxie?
Hiring is Serious Business. The Right Partner Matters.
That’s why our approach is built around clarity, partnership, and long-term fit.
At HireMoxie, we know that the right candidate might not be applying – a strong search includes active AND passive talent. That’s why we recuit with intentional, targeted, old-school headhunting – the kind that finds people who aren’t actively looking but would move for the right opportunity.
That belief didn’t come from theory. It came from experience.
Meet Sally Holland
I’m Sally Holland, Founder and President of HireMoxie, and I’ve spent more than 25 years in recruiting. I’m a headhunter by trade and by instinct. This isn’t a side hustle or a short stop on my career path – I’m a lifer.
Over the years, I’ve worked inside corporate recruiting teams, agency environments, and alongside business owners who were burned by bad hires, wasted time, and recruiters who over-promised and under-delivered. I saw firsthand what doesn’t work, and what consistently does.
What works?
- Understanding the business before chasing candidates
- Knowing how to engage passive talent (the people your competitors can’t reach)
- Being honest about fit – even when it costs a placement
That’s the foundation HireMoxie was built on.

What makes HireMoxie different
We’re not a volume shop.
We’re not resume pushers.
And we’re definitely not here to fill seats just to collect a fee.
HireMoxie partners with growth-minded companies who care about getting hiring right. That means:
- Fewer mis-hires
- Shorter time-to-fill
- Better long-term retention
- Candidates who can actually perform in the real world, not just interview well
We recruit across sales, revenue, leadership, operations, engineering, and manufacturing functions – particularly for companies where finding the right talent is harder than it should be.
This approach carries through every search. Here’s how the process works in practice.
The Bottom Line
If you want a recruiter who says yes to everything, we’re probably not your firm.
If you want a true partner, someone who will challenge assumptions, protect your time, and go find the talent others miss, that’s where we shine.
Hiring doesn’t have to be painful.
But it does take moxie.
If this approach aligns with how you want to hire, start here.
