HR Build-Out & Infrastructure

For organizations starting from scratch. HRIS selection and setup, hiring process design, employee handbook, onboarding program, compensation framework, built to last.

Custom scoped

Most small businesses don't have a people problem. They have an HR infrastructure problem and just don't know it yet.

Without the right foundation in place, small problems compound quietly. A misclassified employee. An outdated handbook. A hiring process that relies on gut feeling. A benefits enrollment that falls apart mid-cycle. These are manageable until they aren't.

Good HR doesn't require a full-time team. It requires the right person who has done this before and knows what matters at your size. That's exactly what 1:1 Consulting was built to provide.

Small organizations deserve real HR support, sized to fit how they actually operate, not how a large enterprise does.

Built by someone who has done this work for 17 years.

1:1 Consulting LLC was founded on a simple premise: small organizations deserve the same quality of HR as large ones, sized to fit how they actually operate.

Our practice is led by Homiera Emam, a PHR-certified HR professional based in Alexandria, VA. Her background spans every major HR function, including payroll administration, HRIS implementation and transitions, full-cycle recruiting, benefits management, performance management, policy development, and people operations through mergers and acquisitions.

She has built HR infrastructure from scratch, navigated organizations through significant change, and shown up as the steady, knowledgeable HR presence that small teams deserve. She works best with organizations that are serious about their people and ready to build something that lasts.
