Can you take care of everything HR related?

Yes, many of our clients simply leave it to us. We think of ourselves as one of the team who work hand and hand with your people at all levels.

Do we have to work with you on a retainer?

No, we work with many of our clients on a hourly rate, or project basis. We are always happy to be flexible on how we work together.

Will I speak to the same person all the time?

You are usually assigned the member of our team that suits you best, and they will work with you on an ongoing basis allowing you to foster and grow a close relationship.

How long do we have to sign up for?

On our ‘lite’ packages you can cancel with one months notice, on our partnership retainers we ask that we both commit to a 2 year period.

We are always flexible, and happy to look at what you need and how we can tailor our services to what you need.

Our advice is usually practical and sound, however just in case, the advice we offer is fully insured and indemnified.

How do you approach technology and AI in HR?

We take a considered, people-first approach to technology and AI. Where appropriate, we utilise modern HR tools to improve efficiency, accuracy and insight, while ensuring all advice, decisions and outcomes are led by experienced HR professionals. Technology supports our work – it never replaces human judgement, empathy or accountability.
