Sound Familiar?

You've outgrown informal HR. But you're not ready, or willing, to pay $250K for a full-time CHRO.

These aren't HR problems. They're business problems. And they're expensive when you get them wrong.

How We Work Together

One trusted person. On call when it matters most.

Klavis Advisory embeds a seasoned HR executive directly into your leadership team, on a fractional basis. Whether you have 25 employees or 7,500, we've been there. Jenny has built HR departments from the ground up, led people strategy through 30+ acquisitions, and supported companies at every stage of growth, from family-owned businesses to PE-backed organizations.

The difference? We don't bring a generic HR playbook. We start by understanding your business, its goals, its culture, its growth plans, then build a people strategy that actually fits. Because HR that isn't aligned to the business isn't strategy. It's just paperwork.

You get 20+ years of executive-level experience without the full-time salary, benefits, and overhead.

Jenny Vasquez, Founder and Fractional Chief People Officer at Klavis Advisory

The HR Executive Your Business Has Been Missing

"I started my HR career on the front lines, managing employee relations, navigating union environments, and supporting acquisitions at a building materials and manufacturing company. Twenty years later, I've sat at the executive table for some of the most complex people decisions a growing company can face.

At Kodiak Building Partners, prior to its acquisition, I built the HR function from the ground up, scaling the organization from 7 to 45 companies and growing to 7,500+ employees. I led HR through 30+ acquisitions, negotiated $4M in benefits savings, and built the infrastructure that took a company from startup to $3.2B. I've worked with family-owned businesses protecting a legacy and PE-backed organizations moving fast toward an exit. I understand what's at stake on both sides of the table.

I founded Klavis Advisory because growing companies deserve the same caliber of HR leadership that Fortune 500s take for granted. You shouldn't have to choose between expert guidance and affordability, and you shouldn't have to figure out your people problems alone.

When you work with Klavis, you get me. Not a junior associate. Not a generic playbook. A trusted partner who learns your business, speaks your language, and picks up the phone when it matters most."

Start Here, Before a Small Problem Becomes an Expensive One

The Average Growing Company Is Sitting on $500K+ in People Risk. Most CEOs Have No Idea Where It's Hiding.

A bad hire costs 1.5 to 2x that person's annual salary. One wrongful termination claim averages $125,000 in legal fees, before a settlement. Benefits costs at growing companies routinely run 20 to 30% higher than they should, and nobody's flagging it. And turnover in a 100-person company? Easily $500K in a single year when you factor in recruiting, lost productivity, and institutional knowledge walking out the door.

None of this shows up as a line item. It just shows up as margin you can't explain.

The Klavis HR Diagnostic is a focused 20-question assessment across the five areas where growing companies lose the most money. You complete it on your own time. Then we get on a call and I tell you exactly what I found, what it's likely costing you, and what needs to happen first.
