Hiring process
Job briefs, interview stages and scorecards, so every candidate is assessed against the same criteria.
HR and people operations
People processes your team can actually follow.
As a company grows, hiring, onboarding and reviews start to depend on who remembers what. We help B2B teams write down how people work here, set up the tools behind it and hand it over to the people who run it.

Where we help
Focused projects on the processes that shape how people join, grow and work together.
Onboarding
A plan for the first weeks, with clear owners, so new starters are productive sooner and ask fewer of the same questions.
Policies and handbook
Plain-language policies on leave, expenses, remote work and conduct, gathered in one place people can find.
Performance and feedback
A review rhythm, templates and manager guidance that keep conversations regular and fair.
HR systems and records
Choose or tidy up the HR tool, decide what is recorded where, and set who can see what.
Roles and levels
Describe roles and what moving up looks like, so expectations are written down rather than assumed.
How an engagement works
Each step ends with something your managers can read and use.
Listen
Conversations with leaders, managers and a sample of staff, plus a review of the documents you already have.
Draft
Processes, templates and policies written in plain language and tested with the managers who will use them.
Set up
Configure your HR tool and shared folders to match, and train the people who run each process.
Hand over
A short guide to keeping everything current, and a review date to check what needs adjusting.
We work on process and practice. Employment-law questions belong with your legal adviser, and we are happy to work alongside them.
