built for human brilliance.
stronger people infrastructure. stronger business performance.
we’re an hr and organizational advisory firm for ceos and leadership teams. we help you lower people-related risk, get your time back, build better managers, and set up the structure a growing company needs.
in a world bloated with ai and tech, we’re here to bring the human side back into business.
clarity where it matters most.
growth is good, but it changes what the business needs from how you hire, manage, and pay people. most ceos feel it before they can put a name on it.
- i.too many people decisions end up with the executive team.
- ii.roles get blurry as teams, projects, and locations multiply.
- iii.five managers handle the same situation five different ways.
- iv.processes built for 15 people are now carrying 75.
- v.policies and personnel files haven’t been looked at in years.
- vi.decisions get made in the moment instead of by design.
that doesn’t mean the company is broken. it means it has outgrown the setup it started with.
go ahead, call hr.
you’ll get senior hr leadership that knows your business, not a hotline.
book time with hailey →the investment
an extension of your leadership team.
a senior hr hire is one of the most expensive seats a growing company adds, and one person brings one career’s worth of experience. a partnership with hghr gives you senior judgment across employee relations, leadership, compensation, and growth, flexes as your needs change, and comes with a team behind it.
ongoing partnerships begin at $3,000 a month.
how we work →the human side of business is the business.
01reduce risk
find the gaps in documentation, classification, policy, and process, and fix them before they get expensive.
02save leadership time
fewer people issues land on the executive team, because managers know how to handle them.
03improve performance
clear roles, consistent expectations, and managers who hold people accountable.
04streamline operations
less rework and fewer one-off decisions. hr processes that run the same way every time.
05build for growth
the structure, leaders, and systems you’ll need at twice your size, in place before you need them.
the hghr audit
know where you stand. we’ll build what’s next.
most companies find out about an hr problem after it has already become a legal one.
a misclassified role. a termination with no paper trail. a complaint nobody investigated. a handbook that doesn’t match state law. none of these feel urgent until a former employee files a claim or the department of labor calls.
the hghr audit finds those gaps first. you get a clear picture of where the risk is, what it could cost, and what to fix this quarter.
it’s time for an audit if
- 01your office manager or ceo is handling hr
- 02you’ve never had an outside review of your hr
- 03you have employees in more than one state
- 04your handbook is more than two years old
- 05managers handle discipline and terminations on their own
- 06you’re about to grow, raise, sell, or change leaders
senior hr judgment. hands-on help.
we work with the ceo directly, alongside a coo, or with your existing hr manager or office administrator. we figure out what’s going on, advise on the decisions, and build the systems. we don’t replace your people. we back them up.
hr audits
where you stand today, and a plan for what’s next. ii.ongoing hr partnerships

structure, comp, handbooks, investigations, and hr systems.ongoing partnerships begin at $3,000/month.
how engagements work →industry focus · aec + design
we specialize in architecture, engineering, construction + design.
architects · engineers · interior designers · residential + commercial builders · construction managers
in a lot of construction and design firms, hr lives with the office manager. they keep everything running, but nobody hired them to spot legal risk, manage a termination, or think about how the company should be structured as it grows. that’s where things slip.
we have construction clients on both the residential and commercial side, and experience across architecture and design. we know the difference between the field and the office, and we build hr that works for both.

industry focus · life sciences + healthcare
life sciences + healthcare innovation.
biotech · medtech · clinical research technology · global pharma
our team has led and supported hr inside clinical-trials technology and global pharma. we know how these companies grow: specialized hiring, scientific and commercial teams working side by side, and the structure it takes to scale through each stage.
we build the people side so the science can move.
