Resources... Human resources.
Complex issues, complex players.

Aligning the right quantity, right quality and right mix with the goals, momentum and culture of a company is part art, part science.

Human capital—people management, as you know, is inherently more complex... consistently more erratic... increasingly more crucial to a company’s exceptional performance... or under-performance.

Douglas Partners offers a variety of customized services and workshops to bring needed skills to your staffing challenges at particular business evolution points.

Hiring?

More than 15% of new hires move on within the first year... bad match for the job, the boss, the team or the company. It’s an expensive mistake.

So much relies on the interview... too many managers say they “know talent when they see it.” But do they?

We can coach your hiring managers and build their skills so they can identify strong candidates, lead effective interviews, and select the right person for the job.

Reorganizing?

The most profound theme of this century has been change... change in opportunities, change in marketplaces, change in corporate structure.

You may be faced with a merger or acquisition. Or perhaps you need to be more responsive to a changing marketplace. Remolding your staff shouldn’t be a rushed after thought or a collection of haphazard choices.

We can work with you to assess your staffing needs, align your resources with those needs and work with staff to transition. We’ll start with your corporate vision. From there we’ll create job descriptions and assess individual skill sets relative to the positions you need to fulfill your vision. Matching the right people to the right positions.

Laying off?

When the numbers need to decrease naturally you want to be sure you retain the best talent to move you forward. You also want to keep that talent focused, positive and productive.

While your focus is carrying forward, we’ll work with valued employees you need to let go. We can create resumes and cover letters and coach them individually or in groups on job search and interviewing skills.

Douglas Partners—the right expertise at the right time to navigate you through periods of internal turbulence.
