Pinnacle Connections HR, LLC moderated a panel on Before the Handbook, How Startups Ramp New Hires When Everything's Changing at Startup Boston Week on September 17th at 1:30.

You didn't start a business to become an HR expert. Sound familiar? You're handling HR on instinct, hoping nothing blows up. A people situation has you up at night. You're spending time on people problems instead of leading your business. You don't need an HR department. You need a trusted partner who can quiet the noise, protect your business, and help you lead with more clarity and confidence. Led by Karen Brieger, a former Chief People Officer across publicly held, PE-backed, and privately owned companies, we bring senior HR leadership without the bureaucracy. No one-size-fits-all packages. Every engagement is tailored to what you actually need. HOW WE HELP ➡️Fractional HR Leadership: Embedded, senior-level HR support without the full-time cost, including M&A due diligence and integration. The scope adjusts as your priorities shift, never locking you into a structure that no longer fits. ➡️HR Advisory: Access to experienced HR thinking for a sensitive people situation, a key hiring decision, or a leadership challenge. ➡️Leadership & HR Coaching: One-on-one coaching for founders, executives, and HR professionals that sharpens how you lead. PROVEN RESULTS We've helped companies cut turnover by over 50%, scale teams by as much as 600% in 12 months, and exceed EBITDA targets ahead of schedule.
