People Ops Setup

What the Organization asks for before its AI team starts work.

The company

Brindleigh. 28 people, four teams, no HR function.

Who does HR now

Me, badly, alongside being COO

What prompted this

A manager asked me what our review process was and I did not have an answer

What exists

Contracts for most people, an onboarding doc from 2023, no review cycle

Recent activity

Nine starters and four leavers in the last twelve months

What I suspect

That some people have never had a proper conversation about their performance

Budget

Setup now. We will hire HR properly next year.

Timeframe

Want the reviews running before Christmas
