Hi, it’s great to meet you! I’m Alison Niermann, Founder and CEO of Tilley Workforce Solutions. At Tilley, we encourage imagination, transformations, and long-term commitments.

My own professional journey is backed by a 25-year track record of 6,000 placements, translating business visions into people strategies, and delivering highly innovative workforce solutions.

I’ve executed and implemented recruitment and HR initiatives to positively impact hiring, retention, and bottom-line results. Having worked at organizations spanning from start-ups and mid-size companies to global Fortune 500s, my career has given me an immense opportunity to lead internal recruitment teams and deliver top professionals across the nation.

At Tilley, my team and I strive to connect people and opportunities to drive immense value in the role, the relationship, and the ROI.

Explore the Origins of Our Name

Elizabeth Tilley is the ninth great-grandmother of Alison. She traveled on the Mayflower and was one of the only survivors in the first winter at Plymouth. With her husband, it is said they have over 2 million descendants.

It’s fitting that Tilley comes from the words ‘to till’ – meaning to cultivate.

Tilley Partners was created based on years of committed work in cultivating stories and connections to build teams and create opportunities that leave a legacy. ​
