Grace O'Connell

Founder & CEO

Reqsy was founded by Grace O'Connell after years of recruiting experience across a wide range of industries. Frustrated by high agency fees and outdated recruiting models, she built Reqsy to give companies direct access to motivated freelance recruiters — with transparent fees, no retainers, and no surprises. When she's not building Reqsy she's usually at the beach with Fudge.
