WHY THIS MARKETPLACE
Not another marketplace with an HR category
An open marketplace hands you a search box and a stack of profiles to gamble on. We do three things it cannot. We reach the right specialist fast, we know HR technology well enough to judge who is good, and we carry the risk of the placement ourselves.
The right specialist, found fast
HR technology specialists are a thin talent pool. The value is not a bigger list to search, it is reaching the right person at the moment you need them. A matching lead who knows the work turns your brief into a match, so the screening is not left on your plate.
What you walk away with
Join the waitlist
- The right person, not the highest rating
- The screening burden off your team
- Reach into a pool most cannot access
HOW IT WORKS
A human match, not a keyword search
A matching lead who understands the work reads your brief and finds the person who fits it, rather than returning a page of profiles ranked by a rating.
From brief to bench in days
You describe the need, we come back with the right specialist, without the weeks an open search takes.
One relationship, the whole equation
An hour of advice, a specialist to fill a gap, or a full team to strengthen a workstream. One place for all of it.
Built for HR technology, and nothing else
This is a network for HR and workforce technology, where module depth and implementation experience are understood. A payroll configuration lead is not filed next to a general contractor.
What you walk away with
Join the waitlist
- Specialists who match your platform
- Depth judged, not just availability
- The same standard in every market
HOW IT WORKS
Depth across the ecosystem
Solution architects, payroll and data leads, change specialists and program directors across the HR technology ecosystem.
Judged on the work, not the label
Experience is read by people who have done the same work, so seniority and fit are real, not self-declared.
A single standard, every market
One validated network means the same quality wherever the work is, rather than five regional vendors to manage.
Every placement carries our name
This is the line an open marketplace cannot hold. The specialists come from the same network the firm delivers with, so when we place someone on your project, our reputation is on the outcome, not passed off to a rating you cannot verify.
What you walk away with
Join the waitlist
- Accountability that runs past the intro
- The risk carried by us, not you
- Expertise without the management load
HOW IT WORKS
Our reputation on the outcome
The placement is ours to stand behind through the whole engagement, not just the introduction.
Managed, not left alone
We handle performance and coordination, so you get the expertise without the vendor-management burden.
From the network that delivers
The same bench behind our implementations, which is how a focused firm offers this reach.
THE BENCH
80 countries of specialist expertise, on one bench
One bench covering the entire HR technology ecosystem. Solution architects, payroll and data leads, change specialists, program directors. The people an HR technology program actually runs on, in one place rather than scattered across agencies and regions.
HOW IT WORKS
From brief to bench in days
Tell us what you need and a matching lead who understands the work finds you the right person. What reaches you is a recommendation you can act on.

The role, the platform, the market, and how you want to engage.

4
They embed, we stay behind them
They join your team and report to you. Our reputation stays on the outcome.
HOW THEY WORK WITH YOU
In your team, off your plate
Your specialists embed in your team and move at your pace, reporting to you. We handle their performance, their development, and their coordination with the wider program, so you get the expertise without the vendor-management burden, and without the isolation that makes an open-marketplace hire a gamble.
WHAT THAT MEANS IN PRACTICE
They report to you
Your specialists embed in your delivery structure and work to your leads, as individuals or as a team.
We manage the rest
Performance, capability development and day-to-day coordination sit with us, not on your plate.
Co-ordinated with the program
They stay aligned with our delivery teams, so nothing falls between your team and the wider work.
Available where you need them
On-site or remote across the US, Canada and EMEA, on a fractional or full-time basis.

Our community sits at the heart of all of it
COMING SOON
A growing global community of expertise, learning and opportunity, open to the clients we work with, the specialists who deliver, and the people shaping where HR technology goes next.

Specialist knowledge, on tap
Experienced practitioners within reach the moment you need them, whether that is a complex implementation, a payroll problem no one else has cracked, or a question about what comes next.
OPPORTUNITY
Connections that create value
The community exists as much for the practitioners in it as for the clients it serves. The best work comes from relationships, so we connect specialists, clients and the people who lead the field, opening real opportunities on both sides and lasting well beyond any single project.

Insight that keeps you ahead
Through shared experience, events and practitioner collaboration, everyone in the community stays close to where HR technology and the future of work are heading, and helps shape it.
BEYOND THE MARKETPLACE

The marketplace keeps your people function moving after go-live. Consulting shapes the plan, technology brings it to life.
DESIGN THE FUTURE
Consulting
The operating model, the roadmap and the business case that decide whether the technology pays off, from a practice built on practitioners who have done the work.
BUILD THE FUTURE
Technology
End-to-end implementation, integration and managed services across the leading HR systems, delivered by people who have done it before.
