The people who understand
learning and technology
are defining what's next.

Teamed exists to connect those people with the organizations that need them — and give them the tools and intelligence to thrive. We started in recruitment. We grew into a platform.

"We exist to power what's possible — and to lift up the people creating better learning, every day."

Our Story

Built by someone who saw
what was possible

Teamed was founded on a simple belief: the people who understand both learning and technology are the ones redesigning how learning happens — and they deserve a platform built specifically for them. Not a generic job board. Not a staffing agency that treats L&D like any other hire.

What began as a marketplace became a recruitment company, and is now a career intelligence platform. The goal throughout has been the same — accelerate the work of the people improving how the world learns.

How we got here
2017
Teamed founded
Launched as a two-sided marketplace connecting L&D professionals with organizations that need them, out of Warrenton, VA.
2018
Pivot to staffing & recruitment
Expanded into contractor staffing, employee recruitment, and Employer of Record services to better serve hiring organizations.
2019
Job board launched
Opened the first L&D-specific job board to serve the broader professional community beyond direct placements.
2020
Supporting the field through the pandemic
Supported an enormous number of job seekers and organizations navigating one of the most disruptive periods in the L&D industry.
2024
Refocus on the two-sided platform
Recruitment can't connect everyone — so we turned back to the marketplace, rolling out self-service features for both sides: scheduling, badging, and profile building.
2025
Career Board added
Launched the Career Board — a curated directory of courses, certifications, and events matched to candidate skill gaps and career goals.
2026
AI matching launched — more capabilities in development
AI-powered job and skill matching is live, with Teamed Pro — an expert AI career coach and deeper intelligence features — in development.

What We Believe

The principles that shape
how we work

These come directly from years of doing the work — placing candidates, advising hiring managers, and building a platform that earns trust every day.

People are the lever

No strategy or budget produces better learning without the right people behind it. Every match starts with understanding what a candidate actually wants and what an organization genuinely needs.

Domain depth over generalism

We know what makes a great instructional designer different from a great eLearning developer. We understand Articulate 360, ADDIE, xAPI, and the difference between Internal L&D and Customer & Partner Education. That depth is what makes our placements better and our platform smarter.

Honest over impressive

We tell candidates what a course actually builds — and what it doesn't. We tell hiring managers what a role realistically requires. Clear information produces better outcomes.

AI is reshaping L&D — and we're paying attention

AI isn't coming to L&D — it's already here. The professionals who can use it thoughtfully and help others understand it are the most valuable in the field right now. We're building the tools to surface them.

AI & The L&D Field

We understand how AI is changing the work — and who's leading that change

AI is transforming L&D from two directions — practitioners using it to design faster and personalize at scale, and organizations building AI literacy programs for their workforce. The professionals who can do both are exactly who hiring managers are searching for. Teamed is building the intelligence to surface them.

AI as a practitioner tool
Prompting, AI authoring tools, rapid prototyping, personalized content generation — skills increasingly required in L&D roles
Placing the people who build AI programs
From workforce AI training programs and corporate upskilling initiatives to AI master's degrees in higher education — organizations are building these programs and need the right L&D professionals to make them work.
AI competency as a hiring signal
Teamed is developing the ability to surface AI-fluent L&D professionals — helping hiring managers find candidates who are ready for the work that's actually being asked of them today
Where We're Headed

Recruitment was the
beginning. Intelligence
is the next chapter.

Work is changing faster than it ever has — and the anxiety about falling behind is real. Teamed is monitoring the market so professionals don't have to do it alone, building the intelligence and tools to help L&D professionals understand where they stand and what to do next.

What we're building
1
Job & skill matching
Surfacing the right roles based on capability and availability — with plain-English rationale, not scores.
2
Career Board & matched resources
Courses, events, and mentors tied to specific skill gaps — not a generic library.

Talent Pool & curated profiles
An open talent pool where standout profiles are elevated and hiring managers come directly to candidates.
4

An AI with deep L&D market knowledge that gives professionals specific, profile-aware career guidance. Coming in Teamed Pro.
5
Skill gap analysis & profile optimization
A full picture of where you stand versus your target roles — with prioritized next steps. Coming in Teamed Pro.
The Founder

Built from the inside out

Founded by someone who spent 15 years inside education and L&D — and kept running into the same gap between great professionals and the organizations that needed them.

Ashley Lonie
Ashley Lonie
Founder & CEO

Ashley saw early that technology wasn't just a tool for delivering learning — it was a means of redesigning how learning happens entirely. That conviction drove every pivot of her career across education, government contracting, and corporate L&D, ultimately leading to directing learning experience design and technology at Strategic Education Inc.

She founded Teamed to pursue that mission beyond a single organization. Today she works closely with clients on their real hiring challenges — what skills to prioritize, how to blend employees with contractors, and how to build teams that scale. She holds an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction and a graduate certificate in Instructional Design and Technology.
