The problem

Sound familiar?

  • You find out about problems when people resign.
  • Policies were written for a much smaller company.
  • Senior hires get made in a rush.
  • People questions land with whoever is nearest.

Growth has outrun the people function. A part-time CHRO assesses where you stand, then puts structure, policies and leadership hiring in place.

How we solve it

A CHRO who has scaled a team before sets up the next stage

HR falls behind when the structure and policies were built for a smaller company. A part-time CHRO assesses where you stand and builds what the next stage needs.

  1. First

    Assess the setup

    An honest view of your structure, policies and culture today.

  2. Then

    Build structure and policies

    The organisation, roles and policies the next stage of growth needs.

  3. Ongoing

    Lead the senior hiring

    The leadership hires that take the business further, made properly.

Senior, and done it before

Leaders from our curated collective of 400+ who have held the role and solved this problem before.

Inside your business, part-time

Half a day to three days a week, working with your team and owning the outcome. Not advice from outside.

No long commitment

Contracted business to business on one month’s notice. No visa, no permanent seat on the payroll, no end-of-service liability.

Built for owner-led UAE businesses with five or more people.

An engagement is priced on time and scope, not on a salary. Our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time hire. There is no search fee.

Most engagements run half a day to three days a week, set to what the problem needs and reviewed as the business changes, contracted business to business with one month's notice either way.

Neither. The leader works inside the business, part-time, owns the outcome with your team and stays on to run it, without a visa, a permanent seat on the payroll or end-of-service liability.
