Your questions answered

What could a Guru help our managers work through?

Alongside the people and culture functions outlined above, our team can help with hiring plans, job evaluation and remuneration, talent assessment and recruitment tools, employer positioning, onboarding and scribing, with the work agreed around your organisation’s priorities.

Can we bring someone in for one project?

You can engage a Guru for a defined problem or project, giving your organisation access to the specialist experience it needs without having to scope an entire HR function.

Can we choose remote or on-site support?

You can choose remote or on-site support, or a combination of both, with no geographical restrictions, although on-site arrangements are subject to specialist availability.

How quickly can support start, and is there a minimum booking?

Support can generally commence within 24 hours, with remote support available the same day in most cases and no minimum booking period.

Do we need a complete handover before engaging a Guru?

We can work with a full set of manuals, policies and other documents, or with limited documentation and no formal handover, adapting our approach to the information available and the support your organisation needs.

How is the cost of Borrow a Guru determined?

The cost reflects the support required, the level and specialist skills involved, the time needed, and the scope and complexity of the work, whether you need general HR administration or support with a defined project.
