Common questions about HR consultancy, discovery reviews, and working with SaaS Scaler.
The Simple Definition
An HR consultant provides expert, part-time HR support, reviewing, building, and running the people processes a growing business needs, without the cost of a full-time HR hire. Support covers everything from compliance and documentation to performance management and culture.
The Right Fit
For businesses that have scaled past the point where founders or line managers can handle people issues informally, but aren't yet ready for a full-time Head of HR.
HRIS / HR Software
Stores your data and automates HR admin. Tells you what's recorded, but doesn't tell you whether your policies are compliant or your processes actually work.
Line Managers
Handle day-to-day people situations, often without formal training or documented process to fall back on.
HR Consultant
Works at a strategic and structural level on compliance, frameworks, systems, and culture, identifying risk and building the infrastructure that supports the business as it scales.
Most businesses benefit from HR consultancy once people issues start landing on the leadership team's desk without a clear process to resolve them. This is typically as headcount and complexity grow faster than informal, founder-led people management can keep up with.
Every engagement starts with an honest, evidenced picture of where the business actually stands, before any recommendations are made. This typically combines two parallel workstreams:
The findings are translated into a clear, prioritised set of recommendations, so leadership knows exactly what to address first, and why.
Engagements are scoped around what the business actually needs, from a focused discovery review through to ongoing HR partnership, building out such aspects as compliance, performance management, onboarding, or culture workstreams, as priorities are agreed.
Costs start from £400 per day and depend on scope. A discovery review is priced differently from an ongoing partnership. The best way to understand pricing for your situation is to book an intro call.
