In this competitive marketplace, you must be realistic about what you need to pay—and not over-pay. You can benefit from my deep knowledge and experience in recruiting and comp. Not only will I help you set up positions, salary levels, and benchmarking, I will teach the HR team to effectively level employees so staff can continue to make the best decisions for cash flow and talent. I will keep a laser focus on how your company spends its payroll dollars and provide thoughtful guidance in support of achieving your company’s short and long-term goals.
