Hi! I'm Maggie.I help early-stage companies and small businesses create the HR infrastructure they need to grow. Founders can focus on building their business while I build the systems that support it.
You're past the scrappy startup phase (or maybe you're not!) but not ready for a full-time HR team. You need someone who can design your first performance review process and actually run it. Someone who can evaluate payroll systems, set them up, and train your team to use them.You need a strategic partner who's also willing to roll up their sleeves and get tactical.That's exactly what I do.
Most early-stage companies don't need a full-time HR person yet—but they do need HR systems. I build your people operations from 0 to 1: benefits administration, contractor management, performance frameworks, hiring processes, onboarding programs, and all the foundational infrastructure that lets you scale.When you're ready to hire your first full-time HR person, I'll help you find them and hand off everything I've built so they can hit the ground running.Think of me as your interim head of people operations: here to build what you need, when you need it.
Business formation, contractor & payroll systems, back-office infrastructure, vendor evaluation, compliance foundations
Benefits design, performance management, onboarding & offboarding, culture building, employee engagement, policy development
Hiring strategy & execution, ATS setup, HRIS implementation, recruiting operations, HR tech evaluation & integration
Every engagement is different, but here's the typical journey:• Discovery: We talk about where you are and where you need to be. I learn your business, your constraints, and your goals.•Design: I create the framework, process, or system you need. You get my strategic thinking and recommendations.• Build: I implement it with you. No handing you a deck and disappearing. I'm here to actually build alongside you.• Handoff: I document everything, train your team, and ensure you can sustain what we've built after I'm gone.I offer flexible pricing options including hourly, monthly retainer, or fixed-price projects tailored to your needs.
If you're an early-stage company or small business that needs to build your people operations but isn't ready for a full-time hire, I'd love to hear from you.
