Ashley Ward has so many reasons to smile. In early 2017, the 28-year-old launched W Talent Solutions LLC, a successful socially conscious recruiting firm that helps fill mid-to senior-level positions for West Michigan companies. The name, W Talent Solutions, is inspired by Founder, Ashley Ward’s story of survival from domestic violence making the name a hand-in-glove fit.
These days, Ward’s life is happy, healthy and productively challenging. However, it was not always that way. Her drumbeat of distress started because of a toxic relationship she was in with a man who was physically and emotionally abusive to her and had forced her to cut ties with the outside world. Thankfully, Safe Haven Ministries was the catalyst that changed Ward’s life in 2013, which helped her build the confidence to believe in herself, escape her abusive relationship, and find a job which is how she ended up in the recruiting industry.
Now, Ashley’s connection with Safe Haven continues, but this time in a different vein. She serves on its event planning committee, speaks at their annual fundraising events, and continues to donate 10 percent of W Talent Solutions’s revenue stream each quarter. She hopes to someday join the board of directors and continue in the healing process both for herself and other women.
