Michelle Owens, Founder and Head of Recruiting
First and foremost, I was born and raised in a small town in Virginia. Current population is 231 residents. So my love for serving small town communities is in my blood.
As a helper at heart, I started my career working with the US Atlantic Naval Fleet while an intern at Ericsson Communications. While working at Ericsson, I completed my Associates Degree in Marketing, then transferred to Virginia Tech as a Marketing Education major.
With extensive experience in the recruitment process, my skill set allows me to connect people and organizations with precision. I specialize in sourcing ideal candidates for specific roles and onboarding them into their new positions while providing training and mentorship along the way.
Now it's time to focus on a modern take on the needs of small businesses in our local community.
Always happy to help and serve small businesses grow and thrive.

At Hometown Recruiting, we believe recruiting should feel less like a transaction and more like a trusted partnership. We exist to help growing businesses build exceptional teams through relationships, transparency, accountability, and genuine care for the people we serve. Every conversation is guided by integrity, every search is driven by purpose, and every placement is measured by long-term success—not simply by filling an open position.
