Backing Your Boldest HR Moves
It’s funny, the misconception that HR sits behind some closed door doing who knows what in isolation, which then means bad news for some employee.
A myth pulled from a grainy 1999 training video, where HR only shows up for terminations and awkward team building.
Sure, maybe there’s still a company out there where HR operates in a mysterious silo. But, in the orgs we work with, HR is a collaborative enabler. Modern HR is doing way more than hiring and firing.
HR leaders aren’t just keeping the lights on, you’re powering the entire building.
You’re building culture. Managing change. Navigating AI adoption, hybrid work models. And trying to make sure your company doesn’t accidentally go viral on LinkedIn for the wrong reasons. (It’s a far cry from the tales of HR binders, beige cubicles, and Windows 98 crash reports.)
Make Background Checks Less of a Headache
We know background screening isn’t always the most ~*glamourous*~ part of HR. But it is the foundation of compliant hiring, and if you’re going to do it, do it right the first time.
What’s Holding Hiring Teams Back?
- Slow turnaround times that delay offers
 - Confusing candidate experiences that damage your brand
 - Manual follow-ups that burn out recruiting teams
 - Legal risk from non-compliant checks across regions
 
That’s where we come in.

Don’t just take our word for it:
“It’s day and night. How do I even describe it? It’s like adding delicious sprinkles and cold foam on top of a latte compared to having plain black coffee–there’s nothing exciting about that.” — Deanna Brousseau, Director, People & Talent, AltaML
