Client Testimonials

“Effective HR support is something that is definitely valued at our organization. We are a small organization and oftentimes do not fall into the same HR “rules” or “governance.” This sometimes becomes confusing, especially as our organization continues to grow. Working with Seth this past year has been a pleasure and a breeze. He’s very patient with us in explaining why we should or should not do, or say, something. No question is ever too dumb. Seth has made it easy for us, from the re-creating of our Employee Handbook, to the onboarding of a new employee. We look forward to our continued relationship.”
Dr. Felisa Bryant, Director of Programs, The IF Project
“We've been working with Reverb for several years and have benefited greatly from the perspective, guidance, and instruction on HR best practices. We can count on our consultant to provide us with relevant and people-first feedback when we need extra help navigating issues that arise. We finally hosted our first Workplace professionalism workshop and it was a great experience to have Reverb here to facilitate that. We look forward to ongoing training opportunities as we continue to grow.”
Flavia Onufrei, Director of Operations, Seattle Tree Care
“Working with the team at Reverb has been a valued constant in the hectic day-to-day of running a fast-growing startup. I've had the pleasure of knowing the team for the past four years as we've grown from 15 to 150 FTEs. From leadership coaching, manager training, executive HR support, and a trusted sounding board, they've been that rare vendor that has fully crossed into being a partner. Even as we build out an internal People/HR function, I look forward to continuing to work with and learn from Mikaela & team for years to come.”
Xiao Wang- Co-Founder and CEO, Boundless

FAQ

A: People Operations, or People Ops, is a way of practicing HR that focuses on employee development and well-being. Some companies use the name People Operations instead of Human Resources.

A: In many ways, yes. However, People Ops implies a more employee-centric approach.

A: People Ops helps create strategies and policies that ensure all employees have what they need to do their jobs. That can range from tools, to training, and a culture where everyone can do their best work.

A: Absolutely. We would love to learn more about you, and what brings you to Reverb. We’ll work together to identify options and solutions.

A. We are DEIB champions and approach all of our work through the lens of helping companies create healthy, inclusive culture.

A: So many! Working with a consultant can be cheaper in the long run, allowing  you to flex hours up and down depending on your needs. For fewer hours a week / month, we can get the tactical needs of your day to day operations met, as well advise leadership on what’s next. In addition:

  • Our team is senior, independent, and works with limited supervision. They are thought leaders who do hands-on work, strategize with the CEO, and everything in between. 
  • Our senior people operations consultants have 15+ years of experience and have led HR at smaller companies and/or held senior leadership roles in enterprise organizations.
  • If your consultant is not available (for ex. hiking without cell service) and something urgent comes up, we can quickly find another team member to help. 
  • We pride ourselves on being a one stop shop for HR support as well as people development including manager training, leadership development, and coaching so you only need one vendor.
