The story behind Agilitree

From paper résumés and fax machines to a more thoughtful search.

Abdullah Hajar, founder of Agilitree Recruiting
Abdullah Hajar · Founder, Agilitree Recruiting

I first learned recruiting by picking up the phone.

In my mid-twenties, after leaving the Washington, DC area and Howard University, I met a mentor who introduced me to IT recruiting. This was the 1990s. We collected paper résumés at job fairs, screened candidates face to face or by phone, and faxed their information to clients. There was no applicant tracking system or CRM guiding our work.

Finding clients took the same persistence. We read newspaper job ads, searched the Yellow Pages for companies in our industry, and made cold calls. Those years taught me how much recruiting depends on listening, judgment, and relationships.

Technology has transformed the search. Today, I bring that early recruiting experience together with my work in project management, Scrum, quality, and regulated industries. We use modern tools to find and assess talent while keeping the human conversation at the center.

Agilitree brings two ideas together: agility in how we respond to a client's needs, and a tree as a symbol of the growth the right people make possible.

Better tools help us search further. Better judgment helps us choose well.
