The #1 question I hear from my clients is who and when to hire on their people team and how to prioritize people team programs, which is why I built the People Team Hiring Guide.
Since the launch of the first edition, I've received great feedback on how to make the guide even more valuable! I want to keep the guidance fresh and include the most up-to-date benchmarks and best practices for the people teams powering the #futureofwork which is why I'm so excited that the second edition is here!
In this guide, you will learn:
- a deeper understanding of the functional areas of a people team
- who and when to hire based on company headcount growth milestones, ranging from <25 employees through 500+ employees
- hiring models for People Business Partners and Recruiters
- people team career paths and salary ranges
- even more best practices, including the importance of the CEO and CPO relationship

Building a thriving company culture requires early and frequent investment in the people function. Contrary to popular belief, the people team-to-employee ratio is often higher in smaller companies, especially if your organization is globally distributed, remote-first, and/or growing quickly.
Scaling a startup often involves many competing priorities so ruthless prioritization is key. Use my guide and associated resources to start building your people team roadmap today!
