Retained Services

Key Features

  • Regular contact and updates from your consultant, knowing your business and becoming a valued part of your team

Our clients tell us the real benefit of an Agile HR retainer agreement is that it is like having your own in-house HR team. 

As a retainer client, you can look forward to working with a named consultant on whatever HR issues, challenges or questions you have; whether this is to manage administration, to update your documents, policies and processes or to manage more complex projects such as restructure or redundancy. In fact, many of our retainer clients include their consultant at their management meetings to guide and direct HR strategy and we have experience and expertise to deliver at all levels within your business.

Ad-hoc Services

Key Features

  • On Site or remote Support
  • No ongoing commitment
  • Small jobs or larger projects
  • Expertise when needed
  •  

Whether you want help with a one-off issue or query or you need a consultant to manage a specific project, Agile HR can work with you on an ad-hoc basis, charging you at a competitive rate only for the hours that we complete for you.

Many of our clients come back to us time and again as and when they need help with issues such as redundancies, restructures, engagement surveys or recruitment; or just to run a question past us.

A Few Testimonials

AgileHR has been an incredible support in meeting our HR needs. Their expertise and dedication have made a real difference in our business. Chelsey, in particular, has been fantastic to work with – always responsive, professional, and proactive whenever I have needed HR support. Her guidance has been invaluable, and it’s reassuring to know that we have such a knowledgeable and dependable team behind us. I highly recommend AgileHR to any organisation looking for expert and personable HR support.

The service side is incredibly responsive and able to solve all issues due to the breadth knowledge and experience from those who support us.

MD, Wealth Management Company, Surrey

After being highly recommended to me, Jenny initially supported us in the recruitment of a key hire. Jenny and her team have subsequently overhauled our recruitment and HR processes and now manage the integration of all our senior hires. Jenny is a passionate calming influence with the experience to navigate us through the stressful waters of HR. Her insight into people and her emotional engagement in our business is so valuable to me. I hope she is on my team for many years to come.

MD, Luxury Furniture Industry, Somerset

Agile HR Consulting as a business partner is a highly valuable resource for our organisation. Jenny has a strong understanding of our strategic business needs and offers a highly professional service, but with a personal touch. Her ability to listen, discern the issues and develop a plan of action to move forward brings out the best in our individual team members as well as the organisation. I highly recommend Jenny Goulding and Agile HR Consulting for their knowledge and personal approach which delivers results and inspires achievements that help grow our people and our business.

Head of Distribution & Sales Channels, Airline Industry

Jenny and her team are an invaluable help to us. We aren’t yet of the size when we need or want to have full time employees handling these issues, and with the support of people like Agile HR it is questionable whether we will ever need to have a dedicated HR function. This makes us more efficient. Furthermore, Jenny has good experience of the challenges a professional services firm faces. She has seen and solved things that trouble us as we grow, and she is very active in helping us to develop the way in which we handle our people. Agile provides a great service, and I’m glad I found them.

MD. Management Consultancy

Jenny provided outstanding support to us on HR. She took the time to understand the firm’s strategy and how HR can contribute to creating more revenue for the firm. She set up an appraisal system and reward structure to motivate staff and provided advice on employment matters on anything ranging from policy, contracts, reduction in sickness days through to day to day advice about the best way to handle situations with staff.
