For HR Tech Companies

Brains, reps, and a real audience.

A practitioner partnership program for HR tech companies who want product feedback from someone still in the chair, and distribution to the people who will actually buy what you're building.

What you're actually getting

I'm not a consultant. I'm a practitioner who posts.

You've seen a hundred HR influencers. You've probably paid a few of them. Most of them left the function years ago. Most of them write for engagement, not for the buyer. Most of them wouldn't use your product if you paid them extra.

I'm different in ways that matter to you. I'm still a VP of HR. I still run a real team. I still own a real hiring plan. I still make the decisions you're trying to get other people like me to make. When I write about your product, I write as the person you're trying to sell to, because I am that person.

The audience came because of that, not in spite of it. I started posting in May of 2025. In under a year, nearly 30,000 HR practitioners now read me every day. The split skews hard toward decision makers and recommenders. That's the audience your product needs to reach, and I'm the voice they're already listening to.

Who's actually listening

Not a general business audience.

This isn't an "HR-adjacent" audience padded with recruiters and job seekers. It's concentrated HR buying power.

When I write about your product, it lands in front of the people who sign the PO, not the ones who forward it to someone else.
Partnership Tiers

Three ways to work together.

Every partnership includes real product time, real audience reach, and real advisory input. I cap active partners at 3-5 on purpose. This is an audience that notices volume, and I protect trust over throughput.

The real filter

Who I actually work with.

I take 3 to 5 partners at a time. That cap isn't marketing, it's the math. Honesty depends on focus, and focus depends on saying no a lot more than I say yes.

Strong Fit

  • Seed to Series C HR tech
  • Product I'd actually use in my day job
  • Founder or product lead I'd enjoy working with
  • Selling into HR, TA, or people ops
  • Open to real feedback, not just applause

Not a Fit

  • RPO or TA outsourcing (conflict of interest)
  • Products I can't honestly endorse
  • "We just need impressions, we'll write the post"
  • Companies in the middle of a pivot they can't explain
  • Anyone who wants me to attack a competitor by name
"If I wouldn't stake my name and my audience on your product in a private conversation with a CHRO I respect, I'm not going to do it publicly either. That's the bar."
The process

From first call to live posts in under 21 days.

STEP 01

Discovery Call

45 minutes. We talk product, ICP, and fit. I'm honest about whether we're a match on the call itself.

Week 1
STEP 02

Agreement

You pick a tier. We confirm scope and cadence. We sign a one-page agreement. No 40-page MSAs.

Week 1-2
STEP 03

Deep Product Dive

I spend real time in the product. I come to our first working session with questions, hot takes, and ideas.

Week 2
STEP 04

Content Goes Live

First post ships. Written in my voice, reviewed by you for factual accuracy only, published on my schedule.

Week 3
Start here

A 45-minute call. No deck required.

Tell me about your product, your ICP, and what you're trying to build. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the voice to help you build it. Worst case, we both learn something. Best case, we're working together in three weeks.

"Humans before title."

I mean it. I don't partner with products I wouldn't recommend to a friend in the field. I don't write copy I wouldn't put my face on. If that's the kind of partner you're looking for, you're in the right place.
