Only settle for standout leadership
Our purpose is to elevate HR as a business-critical function.
With a shifting business landscape, HR is on the verge of being flipped on its head. “Best practice” has to make way for “next practice”, to align with evolving goals.
Which requires different thinking, and standout HR professionals who understand the connection between people thriving, strategy delivery, and value creation. A symbiosis for success, where mindset will outshine skills.
As a standout HR professional, you know this already! However, it only offers value if your business leaders share this notion and understand the connection between people and results.
First, you need to find the right leader you deserve to work with. The who truly sees the value of HR and the way to success and creating value lies in the people in the company.

Like fighting an uphill battle
That may be easier said than done. Many HR professionals experience business leaders whose focus is financial and not people-centric. Who underestimate the evident connection between people thriving and delivering the strategy – to create value for all stakeholders.
Business leaders who do not see the true contribution and value of HR as a business-critical function. HR is often kept out of leadership teams, sidelined as an administrative support function and not a strategic partner, (legal) advice ignored, and not given the necessary resources. And yet, swamped in operational tasks and details.
Wrong or unrealistic expectations, and misconceptions about people management, blur collaboration between HR and business leaders.
That is when “People are our most important asset” becomes a cliché.
This frustrates many HR professionals – they do not feel seen, heard, valued, respected, or trusted. Many also experience little room and possibility for personal development.
We want to transform your career
Your future success as an HR professional depends on finding the right business leaders who recognise and elevate the value of HR and employee well-being.
We assess, match, and connect standout HR talent AND standout leadership, and our process goes beyond the benchmark.
Beforehand, in-depth interviews will be conducted with the hiring company business leaders to clarify objectives and requirements, ensuring alignment with the people-focused leadership style and culture necessary to support a standout HR professional.
As a candidate, the the first step is for AI tools to analyse your CV and profile, references, network, and recommendations to provide an unbiased assessment of hard skills.
Depending on the role, you will take some tests (personality, behavioural, cognitive, language etc.), and through gamified tools will assess business and strategic capabilities, competencies, and human skills (thinking, flexibility, adaptability, problem-solving etc.).
Together with our experienced HR leaders, you will undergo in-depth interviews to further assess your capabilities and mindset, and ‘read back’ and discuss test results. Lastly, we will discuss the hiring company, leadership style, view on HR, company objectives, expectations, and requirements.
In the final step, we will invite the successful and standout HR professionals to meet the standout business leaders for a mutual in-depth interview process, where both parties discuss and conclude if there is a match for a successful partnership.
We also oversee what we consider to be a mutual onboarding in order for you to succeed.
Who are we?
We bring a unique blend of HR expertise and business perspective into play – both
as former leaders with broad international HR leadership experience and now as advisers to leadership teams.
-
We know HR
After +25 years we know HR like the back of our hand. As former HR leaders with broad international experience, and currently, as HR business advisers, we are attuned to HR and organisational developments.
We know how to build capabilities to deliver the people side of the strategy. In the past, we have established HR functions from the ground up.
-
We know business HR
As former HR leaders with +25 years on international leadership teams and now advisers, we know the focus, expectations, thinking, and outlook of business leaders, and how to bridge any gap in HR.
We have turned business leaders around regarding HR as “a luxury we cannot afford” (quote) and observed where there is an abyss between HR and leaders.
-
Our perspective
As HR leaders and advisers, we are driven by a strong business acumen and customer-centric perspective, with the objective of
cultivating organisational capabilities to drive the strategy and create values. In particular in start-ups and fast-growing companies.
-
We know recruiting
HR leaders also recruit, and we have recruited a large number of C-suites, leaders, middle-management, and specialists, and built entire teams.
Since we understand the challenges, through a different approach we uncover standout HR professionals (or teams) and connect them with standout business leaders. As well as building entire HR teams.
This is why we consider ourselves strategic matchmakers. Both parties deserve the capability to create great value.
