About us
Built for Organizations That Need It Most
Strong HR operations are the foundation of a strong organization.
I started Direct HR Consulting because I kept seeing the same problem: organizations doing meaningful work — crippled by HR chaos behind the scenes.
Missing employee files. No onboarding process. HRIS systems that didn't work. Leaders spending hours on HR admin instead of their mission.
It wasn't a lack of care. It was a lack of infrastructure.
So I built a consulting practice around one thing: giving small businesses and nonprofits the HR foundation that enterprise companies take for granted — without the enterprise price tag.
How We Work
Every engagement starts with our HR Operations Assessment — a structured, honest evaluation of your current HR operations. We look at compliance, systems, processes, and policy, then deliver a clear, prioritized report that tells you exactly where you stand and what to fix first.
From there, you choose how much support you need. Whether you want to execute on your own with our roadmap, work alongside us over 90 days, or have us do the heavy lifting entirely — we have a path for you.
Clarity
No guesswork
We tell you exactly what's wrong, how serious it is, and what to fix first.
Practicality
Built to implement
Everything we deliver is designed to be used, not filed away and forgotten.
Accessibility
Enterprise quality
Small organizations deserve the same HR rigor as large ones — at a price they can afford.
