HR Strategist - People Planning with Purpose

You’ve got funding, a roadmap, and ambitious growth targets.
But building a high-performing team takes more than just posting jobs.

Our HR Strategist service helps you design the structure, process, and culture that make great hiring sustainable - not stressful.

We work with you - not over you - supporting your vision and helping make it scalable.

 

What We Help You With

• Org Design & Headcount Planning
  Map out your team’s future with clarity - who you need, when, and why.
• Salary Benchmarking & Role Banding
  Set competitive, fair salaries and internal pay structures with confidence.
• Hiring Frameworks
  Design consistent, equitable interview processes that support better decisions.
• Culture & Employer Brand Input
  Define what “great” looks like in your context - and communicate it clearly.
• Onboarding & Retention Strategy
  Make sure your new hires stick, thrive, and grow with you.
• Interim or Fractional HR Support
  Perfect for scale-ups and inflection-stage firms needing senior HR thinking without full-time headcount.

 

Who It’s For

• Founders and COOs wearing too many hats
• People teams needing strategic HR support
• Businesses scaling fast and hiring frequently
• Companies at a turning point - hiring senior leaders, restructuring, or rethinking people strategy

You don’t need another HR generalist.
You need a strategic partner who’s been there, built that - and knows what “good” looks like.

 

Why It Works

• Fractional Model - get senior input without permanent cost
• Embedded Approach - we work alongside your team, not just advise from afar
• Experience-Led - 20+ years of strategic HR and hiring for tech-driven businesses
• Actionable Output - everything we do is built for implementation, not theory
• Market Confidence - stay ahead of talent trends, compliance shifts, and candidate expectations
