Showcase your expertise and practice

Absolutely not!  Internal HR resources are the go-to personnel for HR operations, policies, and culture. Conferrr is designed to extend the effectiveness of the HR function by avoiding the need for additional headcount while also providing the cost agility of an on-demand service.

To date, we at Conferrr have never met an overstaffed HR team or one who could service all the needs of their organization in the timeframe that leaders and executives desire. In fact, many organizations purchase bulk advisory sessions for their CHRO (and other executives) so that they may benefit from having a fellow thought leader who can help them accelerate their business-critical initiatives.

Conferrr provides leaders at all levels a confidential resource to think through HR strategies and pre-plan approaches before occupying time on the calendars of their internal colleagues.  Imagine being able to set a course of direction in one meeting instead of five! Our goal is to help our clients be more efficient and successful when handling issues at work.

Conferrr has our own staff of certified HR consiglieres, each of whom has 15+ years in at least 3 strategic HR specialties and who has progressed to an extremely high level of expertise.  Periodically, we hire additional HR Consiglieres and prioritize highly-engaged members from the independent experts community for first consideration of potential candidacy. All applicants are informed of the current compensation structure during the time of recruitment

We are not a “marketplace.” Through a careful vetting process, when a member requests to book a session, we match them with a Consigliere who will ensure the highest-quality advisory experience possible.

But our real validation relies on customer reviews. Our expert HR Consiglieres are rated by clients after each engagement, and their ranking affects their likelihood of being matched with future Conferrr clients. If their average ranking goes below 4 out of 5, they’re immediately removed from our advisory pool.

For individuals, our advisors can support you on anything you may be struggling with – everything from disputes with colleagues to verifying your rights under employment laws to career strategies to team management.

For boards, companies, and independent experts, our advisors can also support you on complex HR or workplace issues, such as leader development, mergers and acquisitions, People/Talent infrastructures, team development, organizational realignments, succession planning, building high-performing teams, corporate governance and various talent strategies.

What differentiates our service is that we are not a marketplace of 150K unverified profiles.  We personally match requests based on both the type and level of HR expertise you require, as well as the availability of our HR Consiglieres.  We are confident that you will have a wonderful experience with your assigned match.

If you happen to have a subpar experience, please inform us asap via the brief feedback form that you will receive, and we’ll do our best to rectify the situation.

First of all, yes, your advisory sessions (and any submitted documents) will be kept confidential.  Each of our HR Consiglieres has already signed an extensive Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Privacy Agreement.  In addition, Conferrr prioritizes safety when handling your data, as per our Conferrr Privacy Policy.

In regard to what you will experience, once you submit your brief request form and payment, our intake team will immediately analyze your request and appoint an HR consigliere who specializes in your topic(s) of concern. You will be provided a link to schedule a convenient 45-minute meeting for you both via your choice of phone or video.

Up to two (2) email follow-ups are included in the price of the consultation, as your consigliere may desire to provide you with templates, sample verbiage, document reviews, resource links, or other supplementary support.

Our HR Consiglieres are specialists in any topic related to HR, leadership, People infrastructure, organizational transformation, or workplace issues.  You can discuss any topic(s) you desire, which is especially helpful when tackling a client request outside your area(s) of speciality.

Examples of topics for which independent experts have sought our advice and counsel in the past include, but are not limited to:

• Shifting to a return-to-office mandate or managing remote workers
