Consult on organizational needs and provide guidance around culture, engagement, retention, employee relations, performance, recognition, and workplace practices. Bring the right partners together when situations require coordinated solutions.
  • Strengthen Employee & Leader Support: Guide the team’s approach to employee relations, performance management, engagement, and related employee matters. Help ensure employees and leaders receive thoughtful, consistent support when navigating difficult conversations, performance concerns, workplace challenges, and other complex situations.
  • Turn Employee Insights Into Action: Strengthen how NDHR collects, understands, and uses employee feedback and workforce data. Identify themes across engagement, retention, employee relations, performance, stay and exit interviews, and other employee feedback, then translate those insights into meaningful recommendations and action plans.
  • Drive Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Design and advance initiatives that strengthen engagement, culture, recognition, retention, and the overall employee experience. Stay connected to emerging practices and look for opportunities to simplify processes, improve the employee and leader experience, and strengthen how NDHR serves the University.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
