Architecture practice office environment client of miloHR

miloHR provides fractional Head of People support to CARPENTE, helping the leadership team manage growth, improve hiring and introduce scalable HR foundations.

As the practice expanded, the founders needed experienced HR leadership to manage people challenges without hiring a full-time HR Director.

“Working with miloHR has given us experienced HR support as the practice continues to grow.”
— Christophe C, Founder @ CARPENTE

Overview

  • As the business grew, the leadership team faced several common challenges:

    • Hiring specialised architectural talent in a competitive market

    • Supporting managers with people and performance issues

    • Introducing structure to recruitment and people management

    • Ensuring the team could scale without operational HR becoming a burden

    Like many growing professional services firms, the business needed senior HR expertise, but not a full internal HR department.

  • MiloHR works directly with the founders and leadership team to provide fractional Head of People support, focusing on both strategic and operational HR.

    Support includes:

    • Recruitment support and hiring structure

    • Performance management frameworks

    • Leadership guidance on employee relations and team development

    • Building HR processes appropriate for a growing practice

    • Supporting organisational structure as the business evolves

    This approach allows the leadership team to access experienced HR leadership without the cost of a full-time HR Director.

  • Through ongoing support, the business now benefits from:

    • More structured and effective hiring

    • Stronger support for managers handling people challenges

    • Clearer HR processes and people management frameworks

    • Confidence that HR issues are handled professionally as the business grows

    The leadership team can now focus on delivering projects and growing the business, knowing the people side of the organisation is properly supported.
