From Foundation to Fruition
I partner with recruiting agencies and talent acquisition teams during critical growth phases—when processes are breaking, when you need to scale fast, when your candidate experience is costing you talent. With 12+ years of hands-on experience, I've built operations that work: improved placement rates, streamlined processes, teams trained to sustain high performance.
The difference? I'm here to transform, not maintain. Lopatka Consulting Services diagnoses what's broken using data, implements proven systems, develops your internal leaders, and transitions out—leaving you with a high-performing operation and none of the overhead.

2-Week Engagement
Before transformation comes clarity. I'll analyze your ATS data, interview your team, and observe your processes to identify exactly what's working and what's not.
3-6 Month Engagement
Turn underperforming recruiting operations into revenue drivers through data-backed process optimization and system implementation.
6-12 Month Engagement
Build high-performing recruiting teams from the ground up. Strategic hiring, operational excellence, and leadership development that sticks.
Ongoing, As-Needed
Get VP-level expertise without the VP-level overhead. Strategic guidance and hands-on support exactly when you need it.
Most companies hire a full-time recruiting director and hope for the best. Six months later, they discover the person isn't equipped to transform their operation—but now they're stuck with six figures in salary, benefits, and overhead.
There's a better way.
No salary, benefits, or employment taxes. Pay for transformation, not maintenance.
12+ years scaling recruiting operations and driving measurable results across multiple organizations.
Analytics-backed decisions that improve placement rates, reduce time-to-fill, and increase efficiency.
I train your internal team to sustain improvements long after the engagement ends.
In Slovak, Lopatka means "shovel"—a tool that does the hard work of breaking ground and building foundations. That's exactly what I do for recruiting operations that need transformation.
I don't plant seeds and hope they grow. I dig into your data, uncover what's broken, rebuild your processes from the foundation up, and train your team to sustain results. The outcome? A high-performing recruiting operation built to last.
