People decisions shape outcomes.

I’m Helen Krozos, founder of TalentHammer.

I’ve spent the last 20 years leading recruiting and HR teams across government contracting, tech startups, and biotech. I’ve built teams from the ground up, scaled organizations from 200 to 1,200 employees in hypergrowth environments, and sat at the executive table making real, often difficult decisions that directly impacted business outcomes.

That includes building playbooks for growth — and navigating restructures and downsizing in the most thoughtful, human way possible.

TalentHammer exists because I’ve seen this firsthand: companies don’t usually fail because of strategy. They struggle when the people, roles, and leadership dynamics aren’t aligned.

I take a diagnostic, execution-focused approach — not a one-size-fits-all model.

Assess
We start by understanding what’s actually happening inside your organization:

• Engagement and motivation
• Leadership dynamics
• Role clarity and ownership
• Where friction or breakdowns exist
   

Align
Together, we identify what needs to change:

• Who is in the right role — and who isn’t
• Where leadership support or structure is missing
• What problems require hiring vs. development vs. redesign
   

Execute
When gaps surface, I help you act:

• Strengthening leaders and teams
• Redesigning roles or org structure
• Filling critical talent gaps with the right people — not just fast hires
