What HR support does your start-up actually need?

Most start-ups reach out to us when something goes wrong: a contract dispute, an unexpected resignation, or a disciplinary situation with no process in place. The good news is that getting the basics right is straightforward, and doing it early protects you later. 

We work with founders and early-stage teams on: 

• Employment contracts and offer letters

• Staff handbooks and HR policies

• Onboarding processes for new hires

• Managing performance and absence

• Redundancy, termination, and settlement agreements

• Day-to-day HR advice when you need it

Why start-ups choose outsourced HR

Hiring an HR manager before you are ready is expensive. An outsourced HR consultant gives you the same expertise on demand, for a fraction of the cost. You get someone in your corner who knows your business, without the overhead of a full-time salary. 

 

Swan HR works with start-ups across London and the South East. Whether you have two employees or twenty, we scale our support to where you are now and where you are heading.
