HR that treats people like people

foundhr is for the accidental HR person. An ops lead, office manager or founder who’s absorbed HR by default.

We bring experienced, people-first HR without the jargon or the corporate vibes that makes most of this work feel harder than it needs to be.

Someone in your organisation is probably doing HR already, on top of their real job, with no training and a browser tab open just in case. That describes most small businesses, startups, charities, and arts organisations. foundhr exists for exactly that person.

We build HR around your culture first, so it feels like part of how you already work. Clear expectations, fair process, and people treated like adults. That’s our whole approach.

We write policies that feel fair, human, and easy to trust. Good support feels like talking to someone who's actually listening. That's how we think HR should feel too. Clear, fair, human. Says the hard thing plainly, stays kind while doing it, and always grounded in respect.
