TESTIMONIALS
“As a small business owner, there is an expectation to wear many hats. Bringing Nicole, and HR Factor, onto our team allowed us to stay laser focused on what we do best, with confidence that our human resource needs are met. Nicole is easy to work with, thorough, and an immense resource of knowledge for both larger HR projects and simple day-to-day needs. We highly recommend Nicole and HR Factor! ”

“When I started to think about making a career change, I knew that I would need some help. As a senior executive, I had been working at the same company for many years. It had been some time since I had updated my resume, or been on the other side of the desk for interviews. Wow – let’s just say a lot had changed and I had a bit of work to do. Nicole’s coaching and feedback was direct, honest, and right on the money. Together we brought my resume up to date, which really did a fantastic job of highlighting my most relevant accomplishments.
It was a great opportunity for me to reflect on where I had been and where I wanted to go. She also helped me to prep for meetings with recruiters and potential employers. I was definitely rusty and our sessions gave me focus. Needless to say, I received offers for the roles that I was interested in and I am convinced that wouldn’t have happened without her expert advice. Her help didn’t stop there – she also assisted with offer letter review and contract negotiations. I can’t say enough about her attention to detail and targeted insight. A few major items would have been missed and she caught them! I am one satisfied HR Factor client. Worth every penny!”

“As a former mid-level employee involved in a negotiation with my ex-employer (a sizable corporation) I had difficulty in understanding corporate culture, the stated and implied contents of my termination documents, the interpretations of ESA, typical history of disputes and negotiations, the precedents established by courts and the various options available. Google searches only confused me further and compounded my frustrations at that time.
Nicole patiently listened to my views, reviewed my documents and answered several emails at length. With her extensive qualifications & several decades of experience she explained my situation and provided me what I now am certain was the best advice – it saved me time, money and frustration. This was exceedingly valuable especially in the light of $500 an hour lawyers who were very tardy in their responses and are often playing the corporation behind my back. I will be using Nicole to review my offer letters and termination notices with future employers”
