People and talent consulting
Hiring is stalling. Your team is chasing approvals, reworking handoffs or working around technology that adds another step.
I work with founders, People leaders and TA teams to decide what needs attention and work through the agreed changes together.
The work can be ongoing leadership, a defined project or an assessment. We agree on scope, priorities and responsibilities before it begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of organizations do you work with?
Founders, People leaders and Talent Acquisition teams working through hiring, onboarding, HR technology or people-operations problems. We agree on priorities and scope together.
What does fractional people and talent leadership involve?
Ongoing senior-level partnership: setting people and talent priorities, supporting managers and recruiters, and running the work alongside your team without a full-time executive hire.
How long is a focused consulting project?
Most focused projects run 30 to 90 days and address one defined challenge, such as hiring process redesign, onboarding, recruiter effectiveness, or an HR technology decision.
Do you still work on AI hiring and HR technology?
Yes. Evaluating AI tools, HR technology selection, and responsible, defensible hiring practices are capabilities inside the consulting work. This is not legal advice or a compliance guarantee.
How do engagements start?
With a conversation about what is happening, who it affects, and what has already been tried. From there we agree on the shape of the work before anything begins.
