Recruiting, restructuring or dealing with an HR problem? We can help.

Some businesses need help finding their next employee. Others need support managing a difficult situation, preparing for a transfer or covering a gap in their HR team.

Whatever brings you to us, The HFactor starts with a conversation about your business, your people and what you need to achieve.

Recruitment support from vacancy to onboarding

Recruitment takes time, particularly when you are managing a business alongside it.

We can help clarify the role, prepare the recruitment process, find and assess suitable candidates, support interviews and organise onboarding. Our aim is to help you make a considered appointment and give your new employee a good start.

We also support businesses that need temporary HR cover, maternity cover or help delivering a specific HR project.

Redundancy and restructuring

When a business needs to reduce costs or change how it operates, the people decisions can be difficult.

We help employers plan and manage the process, prepare communications, support consultation and equip managers for sensitive conversations.

Support can extend beyond the final decision. For employees affected by redundancy, we offer CV preparation, mock interviews and practical job-search guidance, helping employers provide meaningful aftercare.

Buying a business or taking over a contract?

Bring HR into the conversation early.

We can help you examine the workforce information, identify questions that need answering and prepare for a potential TUPE transfer. Understanding the people implications can help you plan the transition and spot issues before they become urgent.

Everyday HR support matters too

You do not need to wait for a major change to ask for help.

We support employers with disciplinary and grievance matters, sickness absence, policies, contracts, HR audits and management training. Whether you have one pressing issue or need ongoing support, we can discuss an approach that fits your business.

Experienced, personal support

The HFactor is led by Karen Lewis, Chartered FCIPD, with 35 years of HR experience.

Our clients have a direct point of contact and practical support focused on moving matters forward. We take time to understand the situation and help you work through the next steps.
