I partner with SMEs and independent HR consultants to improve hiring, from role definition through to onboarding. This includes hands-on delivery, but also the advisory work that often needs doing first: helping organisations define what they need to make informed decisions on role scope, salary and hiring approach.
Most hiring problems aren’t solved by more recruitment. They’re solved by getting the foundations right first.
That means clearer roles, better decisions and a process that works properly from the start, whether you’re hiring for your own business or supporting clients as an independent HR consultant.

I help define roles properly before time and money are lost in the market.
You get practical hiring support, but also the thinking that needs to happen first on scope, salary and approach.
No off-the-shelf process. The support is shaped around your business, your brief and the way you need hiring to work.

A stronger process leads to better decisions, a better candidate experience and a smoother path from hiring to onboarding.
I support hiring from role definition through to onboarding, combining practical advice with hands-on delivery where it’s needed most.
"I’d definitely use Nicki again and would recommend her to anyone... a brilliant communicator, delivers on a very robust and considered process and would be adaptable to any market"
"I'd highly recommend Nicki as a trusted associate"
"Nicki is a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to other independent HR Consultants looking for this type of support"
Whether you need hands-on support, clearer hiring foundations or a second opinion on role scope and salary, I’m happy to talk it through.
