When We Can Help

Your Lack of HR Process is Starting to Hurt

You got this far by winging it but it’s becoming time-consuming, confusing and frustrating. The problem only gets bigger if you don’t get your HR processes in order now.

You’re Scaling the Team Up (or Down)

Planning for the team you’re building is an easy step to overlook when you’re moving fast. Likewise, onboarding and offboarding right will save a lot of time and hassle.

It’s not the right time to Hire a Senior HR Leader (yet)… But You Still Want That Voice at the Table

You may have a great functional HR team but lack executive level leadership. A qualified fractional Chief People Officer (CPO) can fill that gap. A little foresight can save a lot of fixing.

Our Solutions

Recruitment

Hiring is one of the toughest parts of building a startup—and we get why. Founders often end up with a patchwork recruiting process that eats up time and still doesn’t deliver the right candidates. We take a more holistic approach, helping with everything from writing compelling job postings and levelling up your careers page, to training your team on interviewing and guiding you through offer negotiations. Our experienced HR team will help you attract and land top talent—while keeping the process smooth and off your plate.

Onboarding

A smooth, welcoming onboarding experience goes a long way in confirming a new hire’s decision to join your team—and sets the tone for what’s ahead. We’ll help you build an onboarding process that’s simple, supportive, and compliant with local legislation. From templates and checklists to clear policies and helpful resources, we’ll make sure your new team members feel confident, informed, and ready to hit the ground running. Bottom line: we’ll help you set every new hire up for success from day one.

Retention

Hanging on to great talent is just as important as finding it. As your company grows, things like clear policies, the right HR tools, performance management, competitive compensation, and solid leadership all play a role in keeping your team engaged and sticking around. When things go off the rails, we’re also there to help work through complex issues. We’ll help you build the programs and practices that support retention—so the effort you’ve put into hiring the right people doesn’t go to waste.

We’ll put a smooth, professional offboarding process in place, guide you through legal requirements, and follow best practices to help you say goodbye with grace.
