Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand HR Coach Australasia Full time NZ$44,000 per year

Ready to Transform Your HR Expertise into a Thriving Consulting Business?

Are you a seasoned HR professional who's dreamed of building your own consulting practice but worried about going it alone? HR Coach is revolutionising how HR consultants serve Australasia's vibrant SME sector – and we're seeking passionate professionals ready to join our network of successful business owners.

Why HR Coach? Because we've cracked the code on building sustainable HR consulting businesses. Since 2006, we've helped over 140 HR consultancies launch and thrive, backed by our comprehensive research into what drives SME success.

Our network members aren't just consultants—they're business owners who've successfully transitioned from corporate roles to build thriving practices on their own terms. For example, Anna Finch maintains strong Sydney client relationships while operating from the NSW south coast, or Jane Save exceeded her first-year business forecasts after transitioning from an APAC HR Manager role.

What Sets HR Coach Apart:

  • Proven Toolkit: Access over 60 proprietary products and solutions designed specifically for the SME market
  • Comprehensive Training: Our intensive two-week Academy equips you with both consulting expertise and practical business development skills
  • Research-Backed Methodology: 20+ published research papers inform our approach to the SME sector
  • Flexible Business Model: Choose how you work – project-based, retainer arrangements, or a mix of both
  • Strong ROI Focus: Our benchmarking tools demonstrate clear value to clients
  • Supportive Network: Join a community of like-minded professionals who understand the journey you're on

The Investment in Your Future:

Starting your HR consulting business with us requires an initial investment of $44,000. This includes our comprehensive two-week Academy in Brisbane, access to our complete toolkit, and ongoing support as you build your practice.

Is This Right for You?

You'll thrive in our network if you:

  • Have significant HR experience and are ready to leverage it in your own business
  • Want to make a meaningful impact in the SME sector
  • Value evidence-based methodologies and measurable results
  • Are ready to invest in yourself and your future

Don't just take our word for it. Kayley Riddle, former HR Director at Hilton London, shares: "The Academy provided practical solutions and a logical process that aligned perfectly with my experience and thinking. Now, equipped with proven methods and systems, I am confidently building a sustainable consulting business."

The SME sector represents over 2 million Australian businesses seeking HR expertise – but they rarely employ full-time HR managers. This is your opportunity to fill that gap with proven solutions that deliver real value.
