AUSTIN, TEXAS (March 10, 2026) – Jobplex, Inc., a DHR Global company, has acquired Her Scout, a boutique recruiting firm that specialized in early and growth-stage technology startups, and named its founder, Amy York, a Partner in the firm’s Advanced Technology Practice.
The acquisition expands Jobplex’s capabilities in emerging technology and founder-led businesses, particularly among small, scaling companies that build leadership teams during early stages of growth.
Based in Austin, Texas, York brings 18 years of recruiting and talent advisory experience spanning agency, in-house, and entrepreneurial leadership roles. She began her career in agency recruiting, focusing on technical talent, before moving into in-house roles at high-growth technology companies, where she led talent acquisition and supported hiring during periods of rapid scale.
Through Her Scout, York has worked closely with founders – particularly women-led businesses – advising on leadership hiring, fractional talent, and team development strategies for small, scaling organizations.
“Adding Amy strengthens our ability to support companies at an earlier stage, where leadership decisions carry significant weight,” said Justin Hirsch, CEO and HR Practice Group Leader at Jobplex. “She’s adept at building teams from the ground up and brings a clear, practical approach to helping founders make the right hires as they grow.”
“I’ve focused my work on helping founders build teams with intention – bringing clarity to who they need and when they need them,” York said. “I’m excited to expand that work with Jobplex while continuing to partner closely with the companies and leaders I know best.”
York earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration from The Ohio State University.
