Six Services. Three engagement shapes. The right combination depends on where your business is - and what comes next.
Whether you’re building from zero, fixing what’s broken or staying close or the decisions that keep coming, our services are designed to meet you where you are. Book a discovery call to find the right fit.
Our Services
The six services that together form a modern People unction. Each once can be delivered as a full build, a focused engagement, or as part o a standing partnership. The shape depends on where you are.
The strategic build
Twelve weeks. Greenfield only. Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed end date.
HIRE & RETAIN
A hiring and onboarding system built around your stage — not a generic template.
AI-Native Operations
Faster builds, lower costs, and a team trained to keep running it without us.
COMPLIANCE & RISK
Policies and HR systems built for your jurisdiction and stage. No unnecessary overhead.
LEADERSHIP AT SCALE
The skills and mindset to lead effectively — including the hard calls no one prepares you for.
THE STANDING PARTNERSHIP
Monthly access to senior judgment for the decisions that keep coming after the Build.
Three ways to work with us.
Different stages call for different shapes of engagement. Here is how we structure ours.
We work with founders and executive directors at different stages of building their organisation. Some are starting from scratch. Some have foundations in place and need targeted work to sharpen, fix, or evolve a specific area. Some want continued access to senior judgment for the decisions that keep coming. We have shaped three engagement models to match these three realities. Each one is distinct. None of them are projects in the traditional sense — every engagement is designed to leave the organisation materially different from when we arrived.
Three Shapes. One right fit.
01
The
Strategic
Build
Twelve weeks. Greenfield. Fixed.
A fixed-scope engagement that delivers a fully operational People function from scratch. We use AI to compress what traditional firms take six months to build into three.
- Full People function built from zero
- AI-accelerated delivery in 12 weeks
- Team trained to own it when we leave
Best for
- No existing HR function
- At least twenty staff
- A decision-maker who can move quickly
02
The
Focused
Engagement
Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. Specific impact.
A scoped, time-bound engagement targeting one specific area of your People function. Not a project. An infrastructure shift, a culture reset, a system rebuild.
- One area, done properly
- Four to twelve weeks depending on scope
- Leaves the area meaningfully different
Best for
- Foundational HR already in place
- One specific area to fix or evolve
- Ready to move within a defined window
03
The
Standing
Partnership
Senior judgment, on a clean cadence.
Monthly access to senior judgment for the higher-stakes decisions that keep coming — hard hires, founder conversations, board moments, the calls at 10pm.
- Three tiers: Counsel, Partner, Architect
- Six-month rolling commitment
- Senior team only
Best for
- Foundational HR already in place
- Decisions that keep recurring
- Founders and executive directors

Standing Partnership
Shaped to fit your Organisation.
Every engagement is shaped to fit the organisation. The Strategic Build is a fixed investment. Focused Engagements are scoped and priced to the specific area of work. Standing Partnerships are structured as monthly commitments in three tiers — Counsel, Partner, and Architect — based on the depth of ongoing partnership. We discuss all of this in your discovery conversation, based on your actual situation rather than a generic price list.
Figure out which shape fits you.
Most clients are not sure which engagement shape is right for them when they first reach out. That is what the discovery conversation is for. Fifteen minutes. No commitment. We will tell you honestly what we think the right fit is — and if we are not the right fit, who is.
The three ways we engage.
very TAG Group service can be delivered at one of three tiers — chosen based on the depth of partnership your business needs, not the size of your company.
COUNSEL
Focused, discrete engagements where you need senior expertise on a specific piece of work. We scope it, deliver it, and hand it over. Best when you know what you need and want it done well, fast.
PARTNER
A collaborative engagement where we work alongside your team to design and implement a coordinated set of work in your area of need. More than a single deliverable. Less than a full embed. Best when you need senior judgment guiding the work and a partner you can lean on across multiple decisions.
ARCHITECT
The deepest level of partnership. We function as the senior leader for the area of work, holding the framework over time, advising at the executive level, and shaping the strategy alongside you. Best when the work is high-stakes, ongoing, and your business needs senior judgment in the room — not just on the project.
