Unlocking Potential: The Benefits of Engaging an HR Consultant

Posted on January 29, 2025 | Cisso Bean & Dutch |

The benefits of working with a consultant, especially in the area of human resources, are many. With over 10 years of experience Cisso Bean & Dutch is ready and capable of tackling most any HR related project.  

Many businesses, especially small start-ups, struggle with trying to keep up with the people side of the business. And as a result, sometimes HR issues take a back seat; until you can get around to taking care of them or you’re forced to “have to take care” of them.

Hiring an HR consultant can save you time-and money- in the long run. Here are three reasons you should consider engaging an HR Consultant:

One. You need help recruiting staff.

With relatively low unemployment, highly selective candidates, people going into business for themselves, the work-life balance priority of candidates, and the gig economy, finding highly-qualified and available talent can be a challenge.

Developing a targeted strategy to find and attract qualified individuals can take a lot of time and effort for many businesses. By using the services of Cisso Bean & Dutch, LLC as your dedicated partner, we can manage end-to-end recruiting for you. Our team of associates has over 25 years in the field of recruiting at all levels and at a fraction of the cost of traditional executive search firms and temp-to-perm employment agencies.

Two. You need help with multiple HR-related projects.

Our firm can conduct HR Audits, build onboarding and new professional assimilation programs, develop internship programs, write job descriptions, enhance website content with a people focus, generate employee engagement activities and retention enhancers, and tackle the daunting task of updating (or even constructing) an employee handbook.

One approach that has worked for some clients is to consider a retainer arrangement. We’ve found over the last few years that this is a great approach when you have several HR projects in need of completion but competing priorities seem to move them to the back burner.

Consider an HR Project retainer for:

  • Talent Acquisition for multiple positions (any level)
  • Employee Handbook Development
  • HR Business Partner Consulting
  • Onboarding Programs
  • Workforce Planning
  • HR Policy Development
  • Employee Engagement
  • Training & Development
  • Internship Program /College Recruiting

Three. You need time to manage competing priorities.

As an executive or business owner, your time and effort is more than likely stretched across different areas. A quality HR representative can relieve you from the stress of HR responsibilities. He or she can reduce the amount of paperwork on your desk, develop essential processes to streamline employee issues, and train and develop employees which will allow you more time to devote to other key business priorities.

If you’re a business owner, manager, or executive who often finds yourself doubling as an HR manager, seek out the services of a dedicated Human Resources consultant. Outsourcing your HR priorities can lessen your workload and improve employer-employee interactions.
