A 35-employee company had struggled to bring state of the art technology products to market. Investors brought in a new senior executive team after it secured $18 million in private equity. Human Capital Advisors was engaged initially to perform an HR Audit and to provide add on services as needed in the human capital area. Accomplishments include:
Identification of a number of process improvements and risks that have been remedied.
Retainer relationship to provide human capital management strategy
Coached and developed VP Administration in HR skills
Conducted two retained searches for key managers in product management and customer service
Performed hourly based targeted recruiting for two important staff positions
Software Developer
A small but successful commercial software developer and systems integrator was led by a CEO who, while being an excellent technician and strategic thinker, lacked the interpersonal skills and perspective to lead people effectively. Control was concentrated in the CEO who held tight reins over managers and employees and who had no heir apparent. A Human Capital Advisors principal was engaged to coach the CEO on how to focus on the “human aspects” of his business, while we formulated a succession plan, designed a COO position and transitioned responsibilities to a new hire. The project was successfully completed and the company entered a period of sustained profitable growth.
