What makes us different?

Person-centred HR consultancy

Stay with us because you want to, not because you have to. Unlike our competitors who will lock you into multi-year contracts, we offer flexible packages where you can flex your allocated monthly hours to suit your needs. We also offer one-off HR project support without the requirement to commit to a long-term contract.

We are not a call centre. Instead, we genuinely care about your organisation and your people. We will get to know you and your people by meeting in person, ensuring we provide pragamtic support tailored for your requirements. Many of our happy clients value us as an extension of their team, rather than a distant supplier.

We aren't just sitting at the end of the phone waiting for you to call with an issue! We'll help you shape your people agenda with a strategic mindset whether that's for a charity, church or commercial business.

As an certified independant HR consultancy, we don't have a corporate agenda to squeeze every last penny out of our clients. Our number one goal is to provide you with pragmatic HR solutions and training programs to support your people and organisational goals.

Highly recommend Cornerstone to anyone looking for HR support. They have been hugely helpful to our charity over the last few years, most recently helping us with the recruitment of a key staff role. The way Nicci has made the effort to really understand us as an organisation has been so valuable, and the communication, professionalism, and responsiveness from her has been outstanding. It's resulted in the recruitment of a brilliant new staff member that we're thrilled to have on board.

Would highly recommend, brilliant service. Employed Cornerstone Resources for a complex disciplinary case recently and I couldn't have been more thankful for their guidance and expertise. Julie was the Senior Consultant I worked with, and she was wonderful. I was so impressed by how quickly she understood the intricacies of the case and the people involved. I'm very grateful to Julie for being able to work on the case with such little notice. As a small business owner, I felt out of my depth with the complex disciplinary case - Julie relieved a lot of the stress for me, from the moment she jumped on board.

We engaged with Cornerstone as we are an SME looking to develop our People and HR strategy and function. The support we have had is fantastic. The support is flexible and fits our business need and circumstances. Cornerstone help keep us on track in our implementation of things despite our ongoing day-to-day distractions. Couldn't imagine being without their support now.

The team at Cornerstone listen so well to help deliver solutions that are contextually appropriate. This sets them apart. The tension between proffesional and relational is managed very well. Thank you for all your advice and help in creating an environment that allows employees to thrive.
