HR Services Built for UK Tech Scale-Ups
Most HR services are built for either Small businesses or Large corporates.
Tech scale-ups — sit in the gap between the two: Growing fast, designing organisations, hiring constantly, driving performance, building culture under pressure — That's exactly where M923 Consulting adds value.

Grow Fast. HR Sorted!
TIER 1 — ENTRY PRODUCTS
Low commitment, high value. Designed to give you immediate clarity on where you stand.
HR HEALTHCHECK - One-off Diagnostic
This HR Health Check is designed to provide you with a complete picture of where your HR stands today — across compliance, contracts, culture, performance and systems, with ERA 2025 compliance assessed as standard. No assumptions, no generic templates. A senior M923 consultant reviews your actual documents and processes and delivers a written report with a prioritised 90-day action plan tailored to your business.
Deliverable: Written diagnostic report + prioritised 90-day action plan.
ERA 2025 COMPLIANCE AUDIT - Specialist Audit
The Employment Rights Act 2025 is the biggest overhaul of UK employment law in a generation. Changes are live from April 2026 — and from January 2027, employees gain unfair dismissal protection after just six months with no cap on compensation. If your contracts, policies and processes haven't been reviewed against the new legislation, the exposure is real. The ERA 2025 Compliance Audit closes that gap fast.
Deliverable: Gap analysis report + ERA 2025 remediation checkl
TIER 2 — PROJECT PRODUCTS
Defined scope, defined outcome, defined timeline. Services designed for specific business needs.
CULTURE DEFINITION SPRINT
Culture is often lost as part of the process of rapid growth. It however, survives because someone defined it precisely enough to hire against, onboard with, and manage by it.
Our Culture Definition Sprint is a structured two to three session workshop process that produces a Culture Playbook — your values defined, your behaviours made observable, and your embedment plan built. A working tool, not a wall poster.
Deliverable: Culture Playbook — values, behaviours, embedment plan.
HRIS SELECTION AND IMPLEMENTATION
The wrong HR system creates as much drag as the spreadsheet it replaced. M923 operates as a vendor-neutral HRIS consultancy — needs analysis, requirements definition, vendor shortlist, selection support, implementation management and hypercare post go-live. The right system for your stage of growth, configured correctly, adopted fully.
Deliverable: Needs analysis, Source HRIS, through to Live HRIS — configured, and integrated.
CULTURE-FIT RECRUITMENT
Hiring fast is not the same as hiring well. The gap shows up in your turnover data six months later. M923's recruitment service puts culture alignment at the centre of every stage — job definition, sourcing, assessment and offer. Candidates who are engaged from day one, not just qualified on paper.
Deliverable: Placed candidate — culture-aligned, engaged from day one.
TIER 3 — MAINTAINED PRODUCTS
Retainer-based HR partnership. For businesses that need HR embedded - Seamless presence
HR PARTNER - Fractional Retained HR Function
Your HR needs don't stop between problems. The HR Partner Retainer gives you a senior, CIPD-certified HR partner embedded in your business on a monthly basis — available in three tiers that grow with your headcount. Starter (up to 20 people) covers employment law advisory, contracts, policies and a monthly advisory call. Growth (21–50) adds performance management support, manager coaching and HRIS management. Scale (51–150) adds people strategy, org design input and quarterly business reviews.
Deliverable: Ongoing senior HR partnership — Starter, Growth or Scale tier.
BESPOKE HR PROJECTS - Custom Scope
Some HR challenges don't fit a packaged product. Organisational design ahead of a funding round. Change management through a restructure. Leadership development for a newly promoted management team. M&A people integration. If the need is real and the packaged products don't quite fit — this is the option. Scoped individually following a discovery call.
Not sure where to start?
The right starting point depends on where your business is and what's keeping you up at night:
• Never had formal HR and growing fast → Start with the HR Health Check
• Contracts not reviewed since before 2025 → Start with the ERA 2025 Compliance Audit
a• Spreadsheet-based HR breaking down → Start with HRIS Selection & Implementation
• Need ongoing HR support without a full-time hire → Start with the HR Partner Retainer
• None of the above quite fits → Book a discovery call and we'll figure it out together
