Who this fits

Three shapes of organization we land at.

Employer A

A growing healthcare practice with 80 employees. HR has been the office manager's second job for three years. You need someone who owns it — all of it.

Employer B

A charter school with 55 employees and board governance to navigate. Policy compliance, classified vs. certified staff, teacher licensure tracking. You need a practitioner who understands your structure.

Employer C

A professional services firm at 120 employees. You've got a part-time HR coordinator. They need backup on anything complex, someone to handle investigations, and a strategic voice in leadership conversations.
