Building an HR TEAM in a High Growth Startup with Andrew Bartlow

Startup founders don’t give HR the weight it deserves. Almost no executive is hired without previous experience. Yet, it’s a common practice to put inexperienced people into leading HR roles.

Andrew shares a step-by-step, scalable strategy of building an HR team from the ground up. His unconventional approach of hiring a recruiter first and Chief People Officer last has proven successful in more than 50 high-growth startups around the world.

Andrew is the co-author of “Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High Growth Organizations” and the founder of Series B Consulting, which helps businesses articulate their people strategy, accelerate their growth, and navigate rapid change.
