For a startup like ours where we were getting out of the blocks at a good clip, SortedHat team felt like a natural extension of our own, and I recommend them highly when you’re thinking through your HR strategy, as well as for when you’re ready to execute.
THE CHALLENGE
1
You've outgrown ad-hoc HR
Hiring decisions are made on instinct. Compensation is inconsistent. Performance conversations get deferred. When HR is everyone's side responsibility, it becomes no one's priority.
2
Projects don't go deep enough
Every engagement has a start and an end. By the time you've gone deep enough to understand the organisation, it's culture, the people and what's really going on, the project is wrapping up.
3
Not ready for a full-time CHRO
A CHRO is a substantial investment. For most growing companies, it can be hard to justify. But operating without senior HR leadership has a real cost too, it just doesn't show up on a balance sheet.
THE SOLUTION
A senior people leader, embedded in your business.
I join your leadership team on a part-time retainer and take ownership of your people function the way a full-time CHRO would. Strategy, decisions and initiatives. Not someone you call in for specific pieces, but an accountable leader who stays.
