WHAT HR CHAOS COSTS A STARTUP<\/h6>\n\t\t
\n
\n \t\t\t

$98,800\/yr<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Avg. salary of a full-time HR hire you defer<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

30% of salary<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Cost of a single bad early hire<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

1 hire<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

All it takes to trigger multi-state HR<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

10 hrs\/wk<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Founder time reclaimed with HR offloaded<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t
SOUND FAMILIAR?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Does this sound like your startup?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You're scaling fast \u2014 and HR is the wheel nobody is holding.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t
01<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You're the de facto HR person<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Being the default HR person is eating your week \u2014 and pulling you off the work only you can do.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
02<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Hiring fast, no real process<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You're hiring quickly without a structured pipeline, and one bad hire could set the company back six months.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
03<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Compliance is an afterthought<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Equity, comp, offer letters, and multi-state rules are happening on instinct \u2014 and you know that's a problem.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
04<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Comp and equity are guesswork<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Offers are improvised. Without bands and an equity framework, you overpay some hires and lose others.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
05<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Culture is forming by accident<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

No onboarding, no feedback rhythm, no manager training \u2014 so the culture you wanted drifts as you grow.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
06<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Investors are asking about people ops<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Diligence touches HR compliance and org design. Gaps here slow your raise and spook your board.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t
HOW WE HELP<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Three things you get from day one.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We take it off your plate \u2014 without the cost of a full-time HR hire.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t
FOUNDATION<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Build It Right the First Time<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Handbook, policies, and a compensation framework done correctly \u2014 so you don't rip them out at 50 employees.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
PARTNER<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Hire Smart, Fast<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A real recruiting pipeline, a structured interview process, and offer letters that hold up. Hiring becomes a system, not a scramble.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
STRATEGIC<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Stay Compliant As You Scale<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Multi-state hiring, wage & hour, I-9, and equity questions handled, so legal exposure doesn't snowball.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
