Guthrie HR Consulting helps technology firms in the earliest stages strategize and build their people operations plan. With 15 years of experience in a variety of industries, Carly Guthrie offers expert guidance and assistance to small companies that may not have the volume to merit full time HR assistance, but could benefit from HR advice, guidance and culture shaping.

Some examples of the work we often do:

• Seed through Series C; VC or PE backed tech companies

• Fractional Head of People Ops (remote or in-person)

• Leave coverage & on-demand support

• Retained HR Support for companies that do not need a full time hire

• Performance Management and Goal Setting Programs

• Execute all people processes and engagement programs

• Develop customized roadmap

• Develop and set up processes, systems and content libraries

• Set up or audit benefits programs, offerings, go to market with brokers, if needed, run open enrollments

• Train and coach managers and leaders on processes and best practices

• Identify and train best long term People hire

Our goal is to be a partner to senior leadership at the earliest stages, to help grow and shape healthy and profitable organizations with good people management habits.
