Experience Raj brings
from working with
Start with
the business.
Tell us what you’re building and what is getting in the way. An open role may be part of the answer. So might clearer responsibilities, a different team structure or a people function that can keep up.
You do not need a job description or a finished brief to come to us. We work out the people solution with you, then help put it into practice.
How we can helpBuild what your
next stage needs.
One critical hire. A leadership team. A people function ready for growth. Start where you need help; the work can span these areas.
Build the team
The people your business needs next.
A first critical hire, a specialist you cannot find or a leadership team you need to build. We start with what the business needs this person to achieve, then define the role and run the search.
- Leadership, critical and specialist hiring
- Role definition and focused search
- Assessment, selection and joining support
Build the organisation
Clarity on who does what, and how it fits together.
When decisions keep coming back to the founder or responsibilities overlap, adding people may not solve the problem. We help you design the roles, reporting lines and structure your next stage needs.
- Organisation design and team structure
- Roles, responsibilities and decision ownership
- Compensation structure and role levels
Build the people engine
People systems that keep up with the company.
The practices that worked for a small team can become hard to manage as you grow. We help set up the people function, from joining and policies to performance and day-to-day processes.
- People Ops setup and onboarding
- Policies and employee processes
- Performance, feedback and manager support
Build the workplace
A workplace built around how your team works.
A first office, a move or a different way of working. We help you work out what the team needs, find the right space and consider the everyday employee experience alongside the practical requirements.
- Workplace strategy and space planning
- Office search and evaluation
- Employee experience and ways of working
Bring the problem.
We’ll work through
it with you.
Perhaps every decision still lands with you. A key role keeps changing. Or your team has grown faster than the way you manage it.
We help you understand what is causing the problem, decide what to change and do the work with you. The engagement can be a focused project or support across several people decisions.
Understand what is happening.
What are you building? What has changed? We look at the business goals, the team and where work is getting stuck.
Decide what needs to change.
A hire, clearer ownership or a new process. We agree on the priorities, scope and what a useful result looks like.
Put it into practice.
We stay involved in the search, the organisation decisions and the people processes, so the work gets implemented.
Experience from
inside the company.
Rajkumar Selvaraj has worked inside growing companies, building teams and setting up people systems. His experience includes Swish, Pillow, HyperVerge, Trupeer, M and Loop.
At Hypersource, you work directly with Raj. He brings that operating experience to the decisions in front of you: who you need, how the organisation should work and what needs to be in place next.
Meet the person behind the practiceA few things
you might be
wondering.
How is Hypersource different from a search firm or HR consultant?
You can come to us before you know whether the answer is a hire, a change in structure or a people process. We start with the business problem, work out what is needed and stay involved in putting it into practice. Hiring is one part of that work.
What stage of company do you work with?
We can help with a first critical hire, building a leadership team or setting up the organisation and people function as you scale. The starting point is the problem you need to solve, rather than a funding stage or headcount.
Can we work together on just one hire?
Yes. A single critical hire can be the whole engagement. We first understand what that person needs to accomplish, then agree on the role, search and scope.
What if we cannot define the problem yet?
Tell us what is happening. Decisions may be slow, responsibilities unclear or the founder may be handling every people issue. We will work through the situation with you before deciding what help is needed.
Will we work directly with Raj?
Yes. Rajkumar leads Hypersource and works directly with founders, from understanding the problem to making decisions and putting the work into practice. The scope and level of involvement are agreed together.
