Experienced people support, without another full-time hire.
Beirne Collective partners with small and growing businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that need experienced support across hiring, employee experience, and culture — without waiting on the budget or timeline of another full-time role.
Does this sound like your organization?
Most People & Culture support doesn’t start with a strategy deck. It starts with one of these.
People work has landed on the founder
Hiring, onboarding, employee questions, and culture all sit with someone whose actual job is something else — and it shows.
Onboarding never quite got built
New hires arrive to a process assembled the week before, and it shapes how their first ninety days actually go.
Managers are managing without support
First-time managers are handling performance conversations, feedback, and difficult situations with no framework or coaching behind them.
Hiring is moving faster than the process
Roles open, interviews get scheduled, and candidate experience becomes whatever each hiring manager decides it is that week.
A specific People project needs an owner
A handbook, a review cycle, an engagement survey, an HRIS cleanup — real work that needs an experienced person to actually carry it.
Find the right people without carrying the whole process yourself.
From strengthening how you hire to running the search yourself, Selma can step in at the level of support that actually matches where your organization is right now.
Recruiting Foundations
For organizations preparing to hire, or strengthening a recruiting process already in motion.
Job descriptions and interview design • Interview guides and scorecards • Candidate communication templates • Recruiting workflow recommendations
Best for small businesses and growing teams that need the right foundation, not full-cycle recruiting support.
Full-Cycle Hiring Partner
Hands-on recruiting support for a specific role, from the initial conversation through the offer stage.
Hiring manager intake • Candidate sourcing and screening • Interview coordination • Candidate communication • Reference and offer support
Best for organizations that need an experienced recruiting partner.
Fractional Talent Partner
Ongoing recruiting capacity that functions as an extension of your team, for organizations hiring continuously.
Active searches • Sourcing and screening • Recruiting strategy • Hiring manager partnership • Metrics and updates
Best for growing organizations with ongoing hiring needs.
Create a workplace people want to be part of.
Strong cultures are not built through one perk or one initiative. They are created through the everyday experiences that help employees feel welcomed, heard, recognized, and connected.
- Employee Experience Review
- A thoughtful look at your employees’ experience, from their first day through every stage of their time with your team. You’ll receive clear, practical recommendations and a conversation with leadership about where to start.
- Employee Engagement
- Structured ways to hear what’s really going on with your team, and a real action plan built from what they tell you.
- Recognition & Connection
- Programs that help people feel seen and appreciated year-round, from everyday recognition to milestones and anniversaries.
- Onboarding Experience
- A 30/60/90 framework and a first-day experience that helps new hires feel prepared, welcomed, and set up to succeed.
- Culture & Community Projects
- Volunteer, wellness, and appreciation initiatives built around what your people and organization actually need.
How engagements work
Every organization’s People needs look different, so engagements are scoped around what yours actually needs — not a fixed package.
Start with a conversation
We talk through what’s happening in your organization and what kind of support would actually help.
Define the right scope
Together we shape the engagement around your real need, whether that’s a single project or an ongoing partnership.
Beirne Collective becomes part of the team
Selma steps in as an experienced extension of your team, not an outside vendor working from a distance.

Why Selma
Selma’s career has centered on people — hospitality, event planning, and then People & Culture, where she built employee experiences, led hiring, supported managers through difficult conversations, and owned the projects that make a workplace actually work.
That background is what she brings into every People & Culture engagement: not just what needs to change, but how to make the change land well with the people living through it.
