How we work with you
There's no one way to build the people side of a business. Some organizations need a partner embedded for the long haul. Others need a clear assessment, a focused build, or senior HR on call for the moments that matter. Here's how we work, and we'll help you find the right fit.
Flagship
Senior, ongoing HR leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. We embed with your team, build or rebuild the people side of your business over time, and grow it with you as you scale.
Best for: organizations that want a senior HR partner in the room as they grow, not just when something breaks.
Best place to start
A clear, honest look at where your people strategy stands today and what's getting in the way. We review your current structure, plans, policies, and pain points, and hand you a roadmap you can act on, whether or not we keep working together.
Best for: established organizations whose HR was built for who they used to be, and founders who want to know what to build first.
Project
A focused engagement to stand up your core people systems, or modernize ones that have aged out. Hiring, handbook and policies, compensation structure, onboarding, performance, and compliance, built for where you're going.
Best for: a startup putting real HR in place for the first time, or an established team rebuilding through growth, a merger, or change.
Capability
We come in and build your team's capability so you can run and grow what you've built. Manager training, leadership development, compliance training, and workshops tailored to your organization.
Best for: teams that have the basics in place and want to level up the people doing the work.
On call
Senior HR on call for the hard, situational questions, without a full-time hire. Employee relations, terminations and disciplinary guidance, policy and compliance questions, manager coaching, investigations, and second-opinion support when the stakes are high.
Best for: organizations that handle most HR internally but want experienced backup for the complex, sensitive, or high-risk moments.
Advisory
Coaching and advisory for founders and leaders growing into managing people and culture. We help you make sound people decisions, build a leadership approach that fits your organization, and lead through growth and change.
Best for: first-time people leaders and founders carrying the weight of culture as they scale.
Search and Placement
Retained searches and direct-hire recruiting for director and executive level roles. Our process covers position profiling with your stakeholders, targeted passive-candidate sourcing, structured competency-based interviews, complete background investigations, finalist assessment reports, and offer support. Placements are backed by a 12-month replacement guarantee.
Compensation
Comprehensive studies for public-sector, nonprofit, and private employers, including job architecture, market benchmarking, salary structure design, and pay equity and compression analysis, using market data sources such as Korn Ferry, Mercer, PayScale, and Radford. Recent enterprise work includes a full compensation re-leveling covering 26 positions across 11 departments.
