Numbers you'd be comfortable defending

- Cash-flow modellingA thirteen-week view you can run yourself, plus the scenarios that would put it under strain.

Typical engagement
Tailored talent acquisition strategies
Hiring badly is expensive twice — once in fees, and again in the year it takes to notice. We build a process that finds the right people and holds up when you scale it.
- Role scoping & scorecardsWhat the role must deliver in twelve months, agreed before anyone writes an advert.
- Sourcing & pipelineWhere your best hires actually come from, and how to keep that channel warm between vacancies.
- Structured selectionConsistent interviews and evidence-based decisions, so the choice survives scrutiny later.

Typical engagement
Turning potential into measurable results
Appraisals that happen once a year and change nothing are worse than none at all. We put in objectives people can act on and a review rhythm managers will actually keep.
- Objectives that cascadeCompany goals broken into targets each team can influence, not just be measured against.
- Review rhythmShort, regular conversations with a simple record — not a form filled in every December.
- Manager coachingThe hardest part is the conversation. We rehearse it with the people who have to have it.

HR analytics and employee engagement
You already hold the data that explains your turnover. We put it in one place, read it honestly, and act on what it says rather than on what people assume.
- Workforce analyticsTurnover, absence, tenure and cost per hire — tracked over time, not sampled once.
- Engagement measurementShort pulse surveys with a published response, so people see the point of answering.
- Policy & complianceContracts, handbook and records brought current, in plain language people will read.
