About Jumpstart HR

Jumpstart HR gives growing companies senior HR support at every stage — and gives HR leaders independent research they can trust. Founded in 2011 and based in the DC metro area, we work across three integrated practice areas: Advisory & Consulting — We run HR for teams that don't have one and back up the teams that do: fractional CHRO/HRBP support, AI-integration consulting, interim HR, M&A HR due diligence, org design, compliance, handbooks, hiring, and people operations — senior expertise without the full-time price tag. Jumpstart HR Research — Our independent research arm helps HR teams buy technology with clarity and navigate the new hybrid workforce of people and AI agents, using our B.R.I.D.G.E. framework (how HR buys tech) and The Five Workforces model (how organizations absorb AI agents), plus research on emerging topics that change how HR effectively delivers value to employee experience and organizational goals. Vendor-neutral by design. Media & Community — Joey's HR Lounge podcast and The Power of HR (Kogan Page) anchor a media platform reaching hundreds of thousands of HR professionals. Founder & CEO Joey Price is a published author, keynote speaker, and one of the most recognized independent voices in HR and HR technology. Jumpstart HR has been recognized by Inc.com among "Seven Startups Making Life Easier for Small Business Owners." Hands-on HR plus independent research, in one place.
