Your business is UNIQUE.
So are your HR needs.

When it comes to Human Resources, we keep the cookie cutters where they belong: at home in the kitchen drawer.

 

There isn’t another business like your business, so why apply someone else’s solution to your organization’s specific needs?

We focus on real-world factors to offer customized solutions that make the most sense and align with what is most important to your company.

Our deeply knowledgeable and experienced consultants integrate within your organization, addressing your employee’s questions and concerns, streamlining operations and reducing risk amongst your people.

It’s custom. It’s strategic.
It’s HR where you are.

 

Our Services

Talent Advisers is a boutique HR consulting firm that provides services across all Human Resources disciplines. Our capabilities are many, but they can generally be organized into the three primary categories below.

Don’t see a specific service that meets your need? Not to worry: drop us a note and let us know what you’re looking for.

  • Whether you just need interim assistance or an on-call HR team, we provide people support for both short and longterm scenarios. We partner with you to develop comprehensive, customized Human Resources solutions to meet you where you are.

    We aren’t your typical third-party HR consultants. We differentiate ourselves by integrating into your organization, allowing us to serve as your HR function so you can focus on what matters: your core business.

    Because who really wants to handle all those issues of policy, law and compliance? (Okay, we do – it’s actually our thing.)

  • We literally put the management in Project Management.

    We can help with one-time projects that your current HR team doesn’t have the time or expertise to complete, augmenting your current team to ensure your organization’s initiatives are met, and enabling your HR team to actually focus on your team.

    Our suite of expertise includes:

    • DISC Assessments

    • 5 Dysfunctions of a Team training

    • M&A Due Diligence and Integration

    • Compensation benchmarking and structure

    • Talent Assessment and workforce planning

    • HR Audit & compliance remediation

    • Employee handbook

    • Payroll processing

    • Metrics and dashboard reporting

    • Anti-Harassment Training

    • SOP and policy development

    • Management Training: leadership principles, coaching, counseling, leading teams, managing change

  • We specialize in the placement of Human Resources professionals.

    Because HR is our area of expertise (it’s what we do for a living), we not only have an extensive network to draw upon, but we are able to assess prospective candidates and ensure that their technical knowledge and experience aligns with your culture and organization’s needs. Our proprietary process includes understanding your business needs and assessing individual’s leadership and communication styles, as well as their HR practitioner philosophy.

    Would you have an accountant hire the HR professional or ask the marketing lead to hire your next CFO?

    Let the HR experts find your next HR expert.
