"People on Point has been a valuable asset to Related Companies. The advisors are strategic and authentic, and have brought creative solutions and coaching. They have been a tremendous asset to me in my role as they work on driving outcomes for our talent acquisition process as well as thought leadership regarding our HR leadership model. What I have really appreciated is their willingness to dig deep to get to the source of an issue and bring forth a holistic solution. Highly recommend! They are game changers."

"This advising team was impactful to us as we redesigned our compensation and increased our strategic approach to marketing our healthcare jobs. They know healthcare. The ability to be strategic and operationally implement was invaluable. People on Point was able to coach our inhouse HR team as well as bring tangible recommendations for both talent acquisition and compensation. We found value in the design and the presentation of the work."
Chief People OfficerTop boutique law firm, Boston
“Our department was short staffed and I had to find a way to meet deadlines without overloading the team. Erika and Aaron jumped right in, understood our needs, and took ownership of a large annual compensation project. I didn’t have to worry about it again! These advisors engaged with my team directly and we were able to meet all deadlines. They effectively prepared survey submissions, aligned titles and job descriptions, and executed for this year's performance cycle. I and my team were incredibly thankful for their support and expertise."
Caroline W.Co-founder, The Pedal School
"As a founder of an early stage start up, I wanted a thought leader to collaborate with. People on Point has been that advisor for idea sharing, sequencing as we build, and brainstorming solutions. I am grateful to have someone of value that I can work with regularly."
