The Challenge.
A growing AI software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, operating with a fully remote workforce, was entering a significant phase of organisational development and scale.
The business required experienced HR leadership to strengthen people practices, support strategic priorities and provide senior-level guidance to the leadership team.
While the need for expertise was immediate, the requirement did not justify a full-time permanent appointment.
The organisation needed a flexible solution that could provide senior capability without increasing long-term headcount.
The Solution.
Fastnet partnered with the leadership team to understand the organisation's objectives, culture and HR leadership requirements.
Drawing on our Agile Executive Solutions (AES) model, we introduced an experienced senior HR leader who could provide strategic support on a flexible, part-time basis.
The resource integrated quickly into the business, partnering with leadership teams and delivering immediate value while adapting to evolving business needs.
Throughout the engagement, Fastnet remained engaged with both the client and consultant, ensuring the assignment continued to align with evolving organisational priorities.
The Impact.
Contributing to the achievement of ISO accreditation through strengthened HR governance and compliance
Development of an employee handbook and refreshed HR policies and procedures.
Progressing the organisation's Great Place to Work accreditation journey.
Introducing leadership development, succession planning and performance management initiatives.
Supporting international growth through appropriate employment and recruitment solutions.
Improving employee engagement and communication across a fully remote workforce.
"Fastnet provided us with access to an experienced senior HR leader at exactly the right time for our business. The flexible, part-time model gave us the capability and strategic support we needed without the commitment of a permanent hire.
Their understanding of our organisation, combined with the quality of the individual and the seamless management of the engagement, made Fastnet a trusted partner throughout."
