Advisory services for growing Irish companies

Strategic support for the people challenges that come with scaling

As your company grows, people challenges become more complex. Structure that worked at 15 people breaks at 50. Hiring processes that felt personal become chaotic. Culture you took for granted starts to feel diluted.

We help you navigate these transitions with clarity and confidence, building people practices that scale with your business.

Service 01

Organisational Design

Your organisational structure should enable your strategy, not constrain it. As you grow, the flat structure that worked early on starts to create bottlenecks. Decision-making slows down. People aren't sure who to go to for what. Teams step on each other's toes.

We help you design structures that bring clarity without bureaucracy. Whether you're moving from flat to functional, creating your first leadership layer, or reorganising around new strategic priorities, we'll work with you to design something that fits your culture and enables your goals.

What this includes

  • Assessment of current structure and pain points
  • Design of team structure and reporting lines
  • Role definition and clarity of accountability
  • Spans of control and leadership capacity planning
  • Communication strategy for organisational changes
  • Implementation support and transition planning

When you might need this

  • You're growing quickly and the current structure feels chaotic
  • You're adding your first layer of management
  • Teams are unclear on who owns what
  • You're planning a significant reorganisation
  • You're merging teams or functions after an acquisition

Talent Acquisition Planning

Hiring is one of the highest-leverage activities in a growing company. Get it right and you accelerate. Get it wrong and you create problems that compound. But most startups approach hiring reactively, scrambling to fill urgent gaps rather than building strategically.

We help you develop hiring strategies that align with your business plan, budget, and growth trajectory. This includes deciding who to hire and when, designing hiring processes that attract the right people, and building the internal capability to hire consistently well.

What this includes

  • Headcount planning aligned to business milestones
  • Hiring prioritisation and sequencing
  • Interview process design and competency frameworks
  • Employer brand and candidate experience strategy
  • Build vs buy decisions for critical roles
  • Hiring manager training and capability building

When you might need this

  • You've raised funding and need to scale the team quickly
  • Your hiring process feels inconsistent or broken
  • You're struggling to compete for talent with larger companies
  • You're not sure which roles to prioritise
  • You're making too many bad hires

Workplace Culture Development

Culture is what happens when the founders aren't in the room. Early on, culture is implicit, carried by the founders and first employees. As you grow, it needs to become more explicit. What behaviours do you value? How do you want decisions to be made? What does good look like?

We help you articulate and embed the culture you want. This isn't about ping pong tables and bean bags. It's about defining the values and behaviours that will carry your company forward, then building the systems and rituals that reinforce them.

What this includes

  • Values definition and cultural principles
  • Behaviour frameworks and expected norms
  • Onboarding programme design
  • Performance and feedback frameworks
  • Recognition and celebration systems
  • Culture measurement and feedback mechanisms

When you might need this

  • Culture feels like it's being diluted as you grow
  • You want to be more intentional about the culture you're building
  • New hires aren't integrating well
  • You're getting feedback about cultural issues
  • You're going through a significant change and need to preserve what matters

Irish Employment Best Practices

The Irish employment landscape has specific requirements, expectations, and cultural norms. From employment contracts to workplace policies to employee relations, there's a framework of good practice that Irish employers are expected to follow.

We help you understand what good looks like and build people practices that align with Irish employment best practices. We're not employment solicitors and we don't provide legal advice, but we'll help you understand the framework and point you toward qualified legal counsel when you need it.

What this includes

  • Employee handbook and policy development
  • Best practice employment approaches
  • HR systems and process design
  • Employee relations framework
  • Guidance on when to engage employment solicitors
  • Support navigating complex people situations

When you might need this

  • You're hiring your first employees in Ireland
  • You don't have proper people policies in place
  • You're facing a complex employee relations situation
  • You want to ensure you're following best practices
  • You're not sure when you need legal advice vs advisory support

Important: We provide advisory services only, not legal counsel. For compliance matters, employment contracts, tribunal representation, or legal advice, you should consult qualified employment solicitors. We're happy to recommend specialists when needed.
