Meet Our
CEO & Founder
Lacey Menchen is proud to lead 360 Talent Avenue as its CEO.
For two decades, Lacey has overseen numerous high-performing talent acquisition programs across multiple industries. In every role, Lacey’s refreshing, creative approach to matching companies with talent delivered unrivaled, sustainable results time and again. Always the analyst, Lacey felt compelled to explore the “why” behind her massive success. She quickly realized that her process and methods of execution were uniquely hers, rendering her partnership and knowledge indispensable to many businesses. Fortunately, her research highlighted a massive gap: Recruitment relationships have unnecessary limitations. With innate determination, Lacey immediately realized she could replicate her success, expand her reach, and seamlessly help even more businesses with their recruitment needs.
Lacey’s answer was to design a strategic recruiting firm like none in the market. Simply put, keep the client top of mind and put the hiring needs of customers at the forefront.
360 Talent Avenue was born.
As CEO of 360, Lacey develops, sets and executes our strategy. She is a visionary entrepreneur, singularly focused on long term, sustainable delivery and growth that will propel 360 to become the industry’s leading service provider.
Lacey openly illustrates and represents both the 360 brand and values in every interaction. She fosters an environment of transparency, where challenges are perceived as thought provoking opportunities. Lacey believes in unleashing the potential of our people, empowering all to bring their genuine selves to work, and that recruiters should be valued for their performance and recognized for their contributions. While educated, purposeful decisions are made daily, Lacey always considers downstream impacts. She ties every piece of 360’s operation back to our business goals and ultimate mission of connecting businesses with exceptional talent. Lacey takes a genuine interest in 360’s clients, recognizing their individuality and the remarkable contributions they make in their industry and communities. Lacey’s passion is contagious and an inspiration to every person with whom she interacts. She is the defining factor that makes us different and is why the 360 organization will continue to be both an employer of choice and a trusted recruiting partner for business customers.
When she steps away from her professional activities, Lacey can be found swimming, reading and traveling. She finds immense joy in raising her two daughters to be strong, accepting, independent thinkers poised to change the world.
As 360 Talent Avenue’s Senior Director of Engagement & Innovation, Melissa is responsible for developing new ways of approaching the attraction piece of recruiting, which is the foundation of talent acquisition. Melissa brings with her over 20 years of experience in the Recruitment Marketing & Operational spaces, carrying knowledge that is unparalleled to anyone in the industry. Through innovation in workflow processes and technology, Melissa has been able to drive down costs while increasing efficiencies and creating professional development-focused environments that enable and empower her team.
Prior to 360, Melissa has helped multiple recruiting/staffing agencies streamline, develop and implement solutions that both optimized internal and external performance. Melissa’s background in operations, process, automation, recruitment integrations, CRM and content/story development coupled with her penchant for finding cutting-edge solutions have made her an integral part of the organizations she’s been a part of.
When Melissa isn’t transforming the way recruiting is done, you can find her at the “Happiest Place on Earth” with her family. At Disney, there is something for everyone, making it a fun place for the whole family – especially with kids 10 years apart! Their favorite movie is Emperor’s New Groove and they’ve got the inside jokes to prove it. Next to spending time with her family and vacationing at Disney, Melissa loves to get lost in the Real Housewives television series. It’s the ultimate unplugging for her, as she gets captivated by the crazy storylines and insanity of it all!
As 360 Talent Avenue’s Client Delivery Director, Angel strives to revolutionize the recruiting industry by giving businesses an opportunity to hire better, hire faster, and work with a team of recruiting experts that are dedicated to their success. Angel’s approach to management is one that builds trust within her team, empowering them to lean on their strengths, which helps to provide 360 clients with the highest level of service. Understanding the relationship between client and candidate is crucial and Angel’s team truly embraces and prioritizes the importance of that relationship.
Prior to 360, Angel was the Director of Talent Acquisition at a leading clean energy technology company. She spent 8 years supporting the build out of an entire Retail and Sales Team, which spanned across 22 states. With a passion for people, Angel has always enjoyed bringing people together, which made Talent Acquisition a natural career choice for her. Angel prides herself on her exceptional listening skills, which enable her to consistently and effectively deliver positive client and candidate experiences.
Outside of 360, Angel loves spending time with her husband, children and grandson. Angel loves to spend time between Lake Oroville in California or Lake Hamilton in Arkansas. When she’s not at the lake (or working!) Angel and her husband can be found renovating anything from houseboats to homes and everything in between.
