Technology’s trusted People and HR Partner.
Act HR exists to challenge the idea that HR has to be slow, complicated, or full of jargon. Tech businesses move fast, and your HR should too.
Since launching, we’ve helped established consultancies and high-growth UK tech SMEs alike to sort out the messy, high-risk, and time-sensitive people challenges that can derail growth. From stabilising teams during rapid scaling, to unpicking legacy HR issues, to handling sensitive employee relations cases that could have gone very wrong, Act HR has been the partner founders call when they need clarity, pace and commercially-minded judgement.
How we help
We get straight to the reality of what’s happening in your organisation - not the glossy version. Once we understand your pressures and ambitions, we build people processes that are lean, compliant and actually usable, not policy wallpaper no one reads.
And when something blows up? We don’t sit on the sidelines. Act HR works directly with you to resolve issues quickly and confidently, protecting your culture, your time, and your bottom line. Whether it’s a performance problem, a conflict bubbling under the surface, or a structural gap holding you back, we help you move from “reactive firefighting” to “sorted and scaling”.
