The People Plugin

The People Plugin provides Generalist HR Consulting across Australia, embedding People and Culture expertise inside high growth businesses to convert people problems into performance.

• Embedded People and Culture service provides a dedicated People Partner for a minimum of 15 hours per month, with monthly reporting and attendance at key leadership meetings, aimed at companies scaling from 10 to 150 people.
• On-Demand People and Culture support runs on a pay-as-you-go basis with no retainers, covering sensitive people issues, contract reviews and second opinions for startups with limited or no internal HR.
• HR Projects service delivers scoped engagements including capability frameworks, redundancy management, culture surveys and leadership training sessions, run independently or alongside an internal People team.
• Client testimonials cite work with organisations including Crop Shop Boutique, Fertilis, Pickstar, EzLicence and the South Australian Tourism Commission across strategy, performance coaching, succession planning and policy implementation.

Best for: founders and leaders of scaling Australian businesses who need embedded or on demand HR expertise without building a full internal People and Culture function.

The People Plugin also delivers Permanent Recruitment for scaling Australian businesses, focused on culture fit as well as skills.

• Offers end to end recruitment from position description drafting through candidate screening, interviewing and offer negotiation, or modular part services such as shortlisting and reference checks.
• Specialises in high growth and early stage businesses, with end to end placements backed by a placement warranty.
• Client feedback describes a high touch, respectful candidate experience from the firm’s talent acquisition specialist.

Best for: founders in fast growing companies who need a hands-on recruitment partner rather than a transactional agency.
