Autonomy
We empower people to make informed decisions. For clients and candidates, that means providing insight without pressure. For our team and partners, it means the freedom to work anywhere, create boldly, and own the outcome.
From laptops on beaches to smartphones on slopes, DRIVE was built for autonomy.
Mastery
We promote constant growth — for ourselves, our clients, and the workforce as a whole. Curiosity and learning are our daily rituals.
Purpose
We believe work should feel meaningful.
Our mission is to help people and companies stay true to their purpose — to create impact, inspire others, and pay it forward.
Advocacy
We turn every conversation into an opportunity to serve. Our goal is to advocate for humans first — helping candidates, hiring teams, and leaders find clarity and confidence in their decisions.
Honesty
We build trust by thinking of others before ourselves. Radical transparency is how we earn loyalty and drive meaningful, lasting relationships.
Service
We always start with, “How can I be of service?”
No scorekeeping, no ego — just genuine commitment to helping people and teams thrive.
I’m Diane Wilkinson, a recruiting leader with an MBA in Data Analytics. I’ve spent a decade hiring GTM talent across agency and in-house teams (AI/ML, ad-tech, enterprise & commercial sales). DRIVE is my boutique practice focused on three things:
-
Contingency & Contract Recruiting for GTM roles
-
Recruiting Ops & Automation (ATS/CRM workflows, funnel diagnostics)
-
AI Training for Recruiters (ethical, practical, tool-agnostic)
How I work
-
Employer Brand First. Every candidate touchpoint should make your brand stronger.
-
Passive Talent Outreach. Targeted, data-driven sourcing to unlock 2–3× engagement.
-
Evidence-Based Selection. Structured scorecards, calibrated interviews, and reporting.
What makes DRIVE different
-
Structured engine: measurable process, human approach
-
Clear SLAs, weekly funnel snapshots, zero mystery
-
Practical AI: speed without hype or bias

About
DRIVE Human Capital
How It All Started
DRIVE was founded in early 2013 out of a frustration with the lack of integrity in recruiting. Within the first year, we had signed six of comScore's top ten companies and many reached out themselves to secure a spot on our waiting list. Five years later after a battle with stage 3 lymphoma, I closed DRIVE to focus on recovery.
In 2025, after full remission, nonprofit work and an in-house ad tech recruiting stint, DRIVE has been reimagined as a people consultancy helping organizations benefit from new technologies revolutionizing recruiting.
The future of hiring is here.
