HR has ended up at the bottom of the pile, until suddenly it is not.
You are missing a policy, contract or handbook you know you should have.
A difficult conversation or grievance has landed out of nowhere.
You are hiring and want to get recruitment and onboarding right.
You do not have to figure it out on your own.

Start with whatever is most pressing. Once that is sorted, we can help you put the foundations in place so your business is ready for what comes next.

Real people, real results
“The team at Core has been instrumental in helping us build our HR foundations from scratch. Their support was clear, practical, and completely fit our needs. It felt like having an in-house HR team.”
Small businesses of all kinds, from owners taking on their first employee to growing teams who need more structure.
Not necessarily. You can get help with one issue, or choose ongoing support if you would like someone on hand.
It depends on what you need. Ongoing support through Core Connect is £100 a month. For one-off work, we will talk through costs with you first.
Tell us what is going on and we will help you work out the next step. No pressure and no judgement.
