Ebony James

Founder & CEO

Ebony has 17 years experience leading Talent & Ops across big tech and multiple early-stage startups. She didn’t just use hiring tools — she stitched them together manually, across roles, budgets, and regions.

“I didn’t just witness hiring problems. I lived them — as a recruiter, builder, and operator. Atlast is the tool I wish I had.”

“I’ve built tech that powers global teams — but never saw a hiring tool that truly worked. That’s what Atlast changes.”
