Who this is for
Nonprofits with real HR risk and no HR director.
You're an executive director or board member at a nonprofit with 10–200 staff. There's no in-house HR, or HR is one more thing piled on your operations manager.
You know the risks: a bad termination, a wage claim, a misclassified worker, a key role sitting open for months. But you can't justify a $90K HR director.
What we handle
Five things your mission depends on.
- 01
Multi-state compliance
Postings, classifications, and handbooks that hold up across state lines.
- 02
HR systems
Onboarding, offboarding, personnel files, and workflows that don't live in someone's inbox.
- 03
Compensation structure
Pay bands and practices you can defend to your board and your staff.
- 04
Hiring process design
Requisition to signed offer, built to actually fill roles.
- 05
AI-assisted recruiting
Faster sourcing and screening without the agency markup.
How it starts
Everything starts with the Hiring & Compliance Check.
Two weeks, fixed scope, written findings report with a prioritized fix list. It's yours to keep either way. Free for the first 5 organizations ($750 after).
