Castle HR:
Our Vision Unveiled
We founded Castle HR with you, a modern business leader, in mind. But… We’ve also learned a lot while working with other startups and small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs). You could say that we like to drink our own champagne here!
The concept for Castle HR was born from a personal experience – our CEO, Tom Nickalls, was terminated from his role in an unprofessional manner. While discussing this with colleagues, he came to the realization that many leaders at startups and SMBs ‘white knuckle’ HR until they hire internally.The problem is that if businesses wait until they have ~50 employees before making an HR hire, they’ll face a lot of reactivity. Issues like… Unfortunately, companies in this position typically don’t have the budget to hire an in-house HR generalist or senior-level expert until they’ve reached this level of growth.
This is where Castle HR saves the day—consider us the ‘knight in shining armour’ of small businesses and startups!
Tom’s entrepreneurial experience in building teams from the ground up shed light on the ongoing HR challenges these types of companies face. From attracting top talent, to retaining high-performing employees, to cultivating a winning culture—not to mention the costs associated with getting these things wrong. He knew that having access to a knowledgeable Senior HR professional early on could mitigate these losses, helping businesses succeed from the get-go.
This led to Castle HR’s thesis:
There's a clear demand for an HR service to guide leaders in selecting the Right People for the Right Seats, implementing proven strategies, and achieving predictable results.
What do we mean by ‘Right People, Right Seats?’
When we look at growth through the lens of HR, we focus on helping leaders understand who they need in their corner – a specific employee with skills and values that align with their business needs. And, we look at the best role, or ‘seat’ to ensure that individual’s success. We always say, “when you get the right people in the right seat, it’ll be hard NOT to be successful.” By following the Modern HR Roadmap, we help you define your values and utilize them to fine-tune your hiring and onboarding processes. At Castle HR, we firmly believe that success becomes inevitable when you have the Right People in the Right Seats, and having a dedicated HR person in your corner (without having to drop six-figures) can help achieve that.
