You have a people function. It just isn't on your payroll.
Recruitment to retention, run as one function - for businesses up to 100 people with no one in-house to own it. We act as your talent partner, your people partner, or both.
The sentence we hear most
“I can't find the right people, and I can't keep the good ones.”
Founders and CEOs say that as one sentence, because to them it is one problem. A recruiter only does the first half. An HR consultant only does the second. The handover between the two is exactly where the good ones get lost.
Right now that whole job lands on you... hiring, offers, culture, the difficult conversations. That's not a failing. It's what happens at this size. But you're the person least able to absorb it.
Whether you need the whole span fixed or just one half sorted, we make sure the fix doesn't break the rest.
The span
A menu of services isn't a function. A continuous span is.
Attract
The story that makes the right people look twice.
Hire
Process, search and selection that lands the hire first time.
Onboard
The first ninety days that decide whether they stay.
Develop
Managers equipped to lead the people you worked hard to get.
Retain
The reasons the good ones have to stay - made deliberate.
How the work takes shape
Start with the diagnostic. Then build, or run.
The Diagnostic
Fixed fee · short · the report is yours either way
Where the hiring money goes. Why people are leaving and what that costs. What your managers are and aren't equipped to do. What to fix first.
Build
- What it is
- We build it, your team takes it on.
- Ends
- Defined term, capability transferred.
- Suits
- You want it in-house eventually.
Run
- What it is
- We are the function, ongoing.
- Ends
- Reviewed regularly - your call.
- Suits
- You don't want to build it at all.
Everything we build is yours outright. Whether we keep running it is your decision, not a dependency.
