TRU Staffing Partners has promoted Rachael Haher to chief operating officer, marking a significant leadership change at the New York-based talent agency as it approaches her seventh anniversary with the company.
The promotion reflects TRU’s strategy of promoting from within, particularly individuals who have contributed to the company’s growth across multiple business areas. Haher has worked in nearly every aspect of TRU’s operations during her tenure, from launching the data privacy division to managing global recruitment operations.
Broad operational experience
Haher’s career at TRU spans recruiting, account management, business development, events and strategic partnerships. She has helped establish TRU as a recognized authority in legal technology, eDiscovery, cybersecurity and data privacy staffing while contributing to revenue growth and client relationship expansion.
The company describes Haher as widely regarded in the legal and privacy community as both a subject matter expert and leading talent agent. She holds a CIPM certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals and has worked with more than 200 Fortune 1000 organizations on privacy program growth through TRU’s contract staffing services.
Haher also handled what the company calls the largest direct hire partner placement in TRU’s history, helping a law firm grow from 50 to over 75 attorneys in under two years. She currently manages the implementation of TRU’s AI technology and large language model training programs.
Focus on AI and operational efficiency
In her new role, Haher will oversee TRU’s generative AI programs and AI agents, human resources, internal technology systems and strategic growth priorities.
“Rachael’s promotion to COO will enable and accelerate TRU’s ability to continue delivering the highest-caliber talent at the most competitive cost to our clients—at lightning speed,” said Jared Coseglia, founder and CEO of TRU Staffing Partners.
Coseglia noted that having a COO who has worked across all facets of the business and on various talent searches within legal and legal technology provides advantages for clients and the broader community.
