Borrow an HR Director
You don't need to hire an HR Director.
You just need one for this.
One HR Director. No salary. No recruitment fee. No long-term commitment.
Sometimes a people issue needs more than you've got in-house
…but nowhere near enough to justify hiring a senior HR leader.
So borrow one. Tell us what's stuck, changing or keeping you awake at night. We'll agree what needs to be achieved, then put a senior HR Director on it to get it moving.
A restructure you need to get right first time
An underperforming senior employee nobody quite knows how to handle
Roles that no longer make sense as the business has changed
A leadership team that isn't working together
Reward and pay that's grown up by accident
Sound familiar?
Succession you've been putting off
Rapid growth that's outpacing your people practices
An HR function that needs direction
Or a people problem you're not quite sure how to solve
One problem. One senior person. One outcome.
Step 1. Tell us what's stuck
A short form, then a call. No jargon, no pitch.
Step 2. Agree the outcome
We define the problem, the result you need and the timeframe, in writing, before any work starts.
Step 3. Get it moving
A senior HR Director works with you to resolve it. Then we step back.

No. It's a single, defined piece of work with an agreed outcome. If you'd like ongoing support afterwards, we can talk about that, but there's no obligation.
-
We'll tell you straight away and agree any change with you before doing more. No surprise invoices.

Usually within a week of our first conversation.
