HR Support for Scaling Tech Businesses
Helping ambitious tech businesses build high-performing teams, confident leaders and scalable HR foundations.
Welcome to JADE HR Consulting
JADE (Joint Advisory & Development Experts) specialises in supporting fast-growing tech companies through the people challenges that come with scale — from your first hire through to building a full people function.
As your tech business grows, so do the people challenges.
Hiring accelerates. Managers take on leadership responsibilities for the first time. Culture becomes harder to maintain. Processes that worked for a team of ten start to break down.
Having spent the majority of my HR career within the tech industry, I partner with founders and leadership teams to build the people strategy that supports sustainable growth.
Whether you're preparing for investment, expanding your team or building your first management structure, we provide practical HR expertise that grows with you.
While tech is where I specialise, the fundamentals of good HR are universal, and I work with growing businesses across sectors who want that same practical, no-nonsense approach.
Over a decade of doing this - properly
With more than 13 years of real-world problem solving experience — not just theory, we've seen the patterns, learned from the hard moments, and built a practice that's sharper for it.
Built around scaling businesses - not retrofitted for them
Scaling businesses don't need watered down advice - They need focused, practical support that fits their budget, their timeline, and their goals. We start by listening, then build a plan around what actually matters to you — not a generic template.
The difference isn't a feature — it's a stance
Plenty of agencies will take your brief and disappear. We work differently: with candour, with commitment, and with a long-term view of your success — not just the current project.

HR Solutions for Your Business
Retained HR Support
Compliance & Documentation
Recruitment & Hiring
As you scale, HR needs can move faster than you can hire for them. Our retained support gives you reliable, senior-level HR guidance month to month — so you're covered through rapid headcount growth without needing an in-house team yet.
Recruitment & Hiring
Compliance & Documentation
Recruitment & Hiring
Fast growth means fast, structured hiring. We help you build a recruitment process that keeps pace with demanding timelines — from job specs through to offer stage — so you can scale your team without cutting corners.
Compliance & Documentation
Compliance & Documentation
Compliance & Documentation
Contracts and policies that worked at 10 people rarely hold up at 50. We keep your documentation compliant and current as your business — and UK employment law — evolves.
Training & Development

Fast-scaling teams often promote people into management before they're ready. Our workshops give first-time managers the practical skills to lead confidently — from handling feedback to managing performance.
Employee Relations

Employee Relations
Support with disciplinaries, grievances, absence management, and workplace conflict resolution is essential for fostering employee engagement and providing effective HR services that contribute to workforce empowerment.
