Meet the Founders
We didn’t start this agency to play it safe. We built it because we were tired of watching good companies fumble hiring and great candidates get overlooked.

​

Amy Israeli

HR pro turned recruiting powerhouse. Amy brings the structure, the process, and the people-first mindset that keeps everything moving. She’s built inclusive teams, scaled hiring ops, and still remembers every single person she’s placed. She’s the voice of reason when things get messy, and they always do. She is at the heart of keeping UA on mission and started this as a fractional bookkeeping company. It's a lil different now

​

Richie Lampani
Recruiter. Operator. Builder of unbreakable hiring systems. Richie’s spent over a decade in the trenches; scaling startups, steadying enterprise chaos, and fixing hiring messes most people run from. He doesn’t do fluff. He decodes what teams actually need, delivers talent that lasts, and still rewrites job descriptions that don’t suck, because details matter when you're building something that’s built to last. He is the soul of what we're building

​

Ben Lampani
Ben is a compliance and audit giant, with nearly two decades of experience filling mission-critical roles for some of the biggest financial institutions in the country. He’s walked the walk in staffing long enough to spot red flags before they burn budgets, and he brings a level of market wisdom most companies couldn’t afford full-time. When things get complex, Ben’s the one you want on the call. He brings wisdom to our endeavor and rounded out the leadership perfectly

​

The Vision
Underground Admins isn’t just a staffing firm. It’s a movement built on trust, execution, and a deep respect for the people behind the titles. We’re here to fix what’s broken, move fast when it counts, and build hiring systems that actually work.
