Expertise That Elevates Your Team

I'm Sofia Ziegler, founder of High Road Hiring, a boutique talent consultancy rooted in integrity, strategy, and results. With over 15 years of experience leading recruitment and talent development efforts for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to private family offices, I bring a sharp, people-centered approach to executive search and organizational growth.

My background spans diverse leadership roles in talent acquisition, where I've developed proprietary systems to streamline hiring, elevate team performance, and build inclusive, high-performing cultures. I have spearheaded recruitment strategies for high-level placements across corporate environments and private households, crafting sourcing models that consistently elevate candidate quality, retention, and cultural alignment.

A Higher Standard of Service

High Road Hiring was built on the belief that exceptional hiring doesn't just fill a role - it transforms a team or household. I work closely with leaders and principals to create customized hiring strategies, blending data-driven methods with deep industry insight and a commitment to lasting impact.

My clients appreciate my commitment to confidentiality, my ability to identify talent that exceeds expectations rather than simply meeting requirements, and my dedication to creating lasting matches that enhance both organizational culture and family dynamics.

  • Bespoke Approach: Every search is tailored to your specific needs, values, and environment

  • Rigorous Vetting: Comprehensive background checks, skills assessment, and cultural alignment evaluation

  • White-Glove Service: Hands-on guidance throughout the entire process

  • Long-Term Success: Ongoing support to ensure successful integration and performance

When you choose High Road Hiring, you're not just filling a position - you're investing in excellence that transforms your organization or household from the inside out.
