- How to Become a HR Consultant
In partnership with
Friends,
Happy new year to you all.
This month I’m taking a break from regular programming and doing some beachside R&R after a mammoth 2024.
My view. Sorry not sorry.
It’s also been a time of reflection, and so in this edition I share with you what it took for me to start my business as a HR consultant. I get a lot of questions on how I do what I do, so for those of you reading this who I know are considering a similar move, or for those who are just curious — enjoy.
I’m off until the end of January continuing to turn from pasty white to deliciously tanned. See you all soon.
Matt

How to Become a HR Consultant
Throughout my first year in business, one thing was clearer than ever — more and more Heads of People are either interested in, or turning to, a career as a consultant.
2024 being my first year of taking that same plunge, it was no surprise that it was a topic of supreme interest from an audience I engage with frequently. Given this, I wanted to use my down time after completing that first year to explore my journey, and explain as much as possible about how my first year went, to help shed light on this process for others considering the same move.
I’m going to break this down into a few key sections, exploring as far back as the months leading up to my move from full time in-house to full time consulting, how I ramped up, found my clients, and even how much I made compared to my last in-house role.
So, let’s start from the start, (what feels like) a long time ago in a (professional) galaxy far, far away… 🌌
