Meeting the needs of HR Professionals

Tapping into my experience within the world of HR, I started as an HR freelancer in 2009. Over the next five years, I managed to build a tight network of specialised HR professionals. First-hand, I learned about the needs of both candidates and clients. They inspired me to start offering clients my expertise – and that of my fellow freelancers.

In 2014, we decided to create a new movement that relies on endurable, community-driven solutions. At the core of this movement is a culture built around sharing and acting on evidence. It helps realise long-term progress rather than pursuing short-term goals.

That’s how Balance HR became the place for freelance HR jobs and for advice and development in evidence-based HR. As well as helping organisations, we actively contribute to societal initiatives.
