Hire the Best HR Consultants

Growing a business or transitioning to a new HR system is great but without the right data and operational structure, things can get messy quickly. I work with UK businesses and software implementation consultants who need practical, risk-aware HR expertise. I specialise strictly in two high-stakes areas: HRIS System Document Migrations and Complex Employee Relations (managing disciplinaries, grievances, and workplace disputes). By bringing data discipline and UK employment law together, I ensure your new HR software is populated flawlessly, your historical files remain GDPR-compliant, and your staff issue documentation is completely bulletproof. ✔ CORE SPECIALISM 1: PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC HRIS DOCUMENT MIGRATION When transitioning to a new HRIS, internal teams get caught out manually moving thousands of loose legacy files. I act as an expert data-cleansing and migration gatekeeper. Because our file-structuring protocol is executed securely outside your live software environment, we support migrations into or out of any HR platform on the market. We handle the messy legacy extraction and deliver a "Bulk Import-Ready" package tailored to your destination software's exact import specifications, saving your team hundreds of manual hours. My services include: • Pre-migration file pool audits and diagnostic folder mapping. • Algorithmic filename string sanitisation (removing trailing spaces and illegal characters). • Unique ID reconciliation to completely eliminate record misallocation. • Compliant "Catch-All" taxonomy routing for obscure legacy documents. • Complete cross-platform compatibility (Workday, HiBob, Rippling, Deel, Personio, BambooHR, CIPHR, IRIS, Moorepay, SharePoint, and Google Drive). • Accredited Ecosystems: Breathe HR (Certified Partner) & Employment Hero. ✔ CORE SPECIALISM 2: EMPLOYEE RELATIONS & STAFF DISPUTES I provide highly structured, objective support for England-based employers facing sensitive workplace challenges: • Managing formal disciplinary and grievance processes from start to finish. • Drafting workplace dispute, absence management, and hearing documentation. • Creating compliance-safe contracts of employment and employee handbooks. • Strategic risk-aware decision support aligned strictly with ACAS guidelines. ✔ WHY CORPORATE PARTNERS WORK WITH ME • Flat-Fee, Value-Based Pricing: No unpredictable hourly billing or scope creep. • Strict Data Security: I do not require live system login credentials for bulk cleansing. • Dual Expertise: I understand both the IT data matrix and the legal compliance behind the record. I work best with fast-growing SMEs, startups, and independent HR software implementation consultants who need a trusted backend delivery partner to keep projects on schedule. If you have an upcoming software rollout or a pressing staff issue to resolve, click "Invite to Job" and let's schedule a brief introductory call.

Most businesses don't discover their HR gaps until something breaks. A compliance audit. A key hire who leaves in 60 days. A founder who's spending 15 hours a week on people problems that should run themselves. I fix the system before it breaks - and rebuild it when it already has. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm Kirti Shinde, Founder of Prowess Consultancy - a boutique HR and recruitment consulting firm based in Mumbai, India. 10+ years. 500+ placements. 20+ companies with complete HR infrastructure delivered. 6 industries. 1 published book. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I BUILD FOR CLIENTS ✅ HR POLICY FRAMEWORKS & EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS Custom-built. Not templates. Designed for your industry and enforced from Day 1. My last 5 handbook projects resolved between 8 and 14 compliance gaps each. ✅ RECRUITMENT & EXECUTIVE SEARCH Full-cycle hiring from JD design to offer closure. Mid-level to C-suite. Manufacturing, pharma, retail, hospitality, logistics, real estate. Average time-to-hire reduction: 35 -50% within 90 days. ✅ HR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STARTUPS & SMES Built from zero. Audit → policy sprint → onboarding system → performance framework. Founders typically reclaim 10-15 hours per week. ✅ HR AUDIT & COMPLIANCE 8-area HR audits with compliance scorecard and prioritised remediation plan. Used for investor due diligence, regulatory preparation, and pre-acquisition HR reviews. ✅ EMPLOYER BRANDING & LINKEDIN TALENT STRATEGY LinkedIn company page optimization, JD redesign, talent attraction campaigns. Offer acceptance rates improved by 15-25 points for my clients. ✅ RECRUITMENT AUTOMATION ATS setup, AI-powered Boolean sourcing workflows, WhatsApp chatbot screening. I also designed a 14-module, 365-day recruiter training academy at my own firm - and have adapted it for client teams. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ INDUSTRIES I KNOW AT DEPTH Manufacturing | Pharmaceutical | Retail & FMCG Hospitality | Logistics & Supply Chain | Real Estate ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT FROM 200 OTHER HR CONSULTANTS → I'm a founder. I built Prowess Consultancy from scratch. I understand what founders need - not what HR textbooks recommend. → I wrote a book. The Invisible Anchor (Amazon Kindle) gave me a sharper lens on people - the human side that most HR consultants miss. → I automate. My team uses AI sourcing, WhatsApp screening chatbots, and Boolean search workflows - not just spreadsheets. → My deliverables are immediately usable. No rework required. Every document I deliver is branded, structured, and client-ready. → I've built an HR training system. My 14-module recruiter academy reduced onboarding time by 60% - and I apply that systems thinking to every client engagement. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS Message me with a brief description of your challenge. I respond within 24 hours. I offer a complimentary 20-minute discovery call for all new engagements. If you're a founder, CEO, or HR leader who needs a senior partner - not a junior freelancer - let's talk. Let's build your people strategy.
