Working at Fig Tree HR
Who we are.
Fig Tree HR was founded in 2022 to make brilliant HR accessible to growing businesses that need practical, people-focused support.
Our roots are in the startup and scale-up world, supporting founders and leaders navigate the challenges that come with building and growing a business. We quickly saw the difference that great HR can make when leaders step into management roles for the first time or grow teams quickly. Over the years, our client base has grown well beyond the startup ecosystem. We still love working with ambitious, growing businesses, but now companies across a range of sectors have chosen to work with us because of our practical, down-to-earth approach and the relationships we build.
Most of our clients don't have an in-house HR team, so we become their HR team and sounding board. Some may have in-house HR support, and they may ask us for project support or an experienced pair of hands for a particularly challenging situation.
The work we do is varied and that's one of the things we love most about it!
Our support generally falls into three key areas:
Outsourced day-to-day HR support for small businesses.
Leading strategic projects or HR initiatives.
Independent investigator/ER specialist for corporates.
How we do things is just as important as what we do.
It’s important that we build great relationships with our clients - the more we know about what’s happening in their world, the more we can provide effective solutions.
We take a coaching approach by talking clients through situations so that they understand risks & options in a helpful, simple & jargon-free way. How we do things is as just as important as what we do! We pride ourselves on delivering a high quality service and our overall approach - our exceptional client feedback highlights the value we add & difference that we make.
What we do and how we do it is underpinned by our values.
We are professional, approachable, and act with integrity. We fundamentally believe in equity & inclusion and treat all with dignity and respect. We’re accountable for our behaviour, are always learning and own up to mistakes when things go wrong so that we can put things right.
It’s important to us that we create a working environment where you can be your best & develop your skills in a fast paced & supportive environment. In addition to our values, these pillars are what you can expect from us and what we expect from you as one of our team.
No Team Member Left Behind: We know our individual workloads but we prioritise delivery of the team’s priority work, and support each other when things get busy.
Help Clients Build Better Businesses: HR isn’t a ‘check-box’ exercise. Great HR makes better businesses & better workplaces, so we always think beyond the issue at hand and look at how the work we do can have wider positive impact.
Be where you need to be: We trust in the skills, experience & professionalism that each person brings. Our team does great things and we know that for our team to be at their best, they need to have a working pattern & flexibility that works for them.
