The Problem

  • You're the CEO, and somehow also the person answering every benefits question.

  • You're hiring in a new state and aren't sure what the rules are there.

  • A manager just asked how to handle a tough employee situation, and nobody knows.

  • Your handbook is a Google Doc from three years ago, or doesn't exist.

  • Your employees have been asking for better benefits and you aren't sure where to start.

  • Your business is going and you could use an HR expert but not another full-time hire.

How I Help

Building HR Foundation

A one-time project that takes you from scattered to set up; compliance, handbook, policies, onboarding, and the right systems

Be your People partner

Ongoing, part-time HR support each month, so you always have someone to call.

Solve a specific problem

Focused projects like a compliance audit, establishing salary bands, manager training, performance management, or Open Enrollment help.

Why work with me?

HR software and large firms answer questions. I help you run your People function. Here's the difference. You'll get the judgement of someone who's built HR from zero, twice, at a price that fits your business.

Setting up US hiring, benefits, and compliance for companies new to the US market.

Hi, I'm Jaime

I've built HR from the ground up twice: for a global remote startup and for a UK fintech's US expansion. Now, I do it for companies like yours.
