“Working Smart and Being Human”
Testimonials
"Julie has been an incredible partner to our startup, Spiderwort Biotechnologies—more than just an HR consultant, she quickly became a trusted extension of our team. With a genuine passion for people and a thoughtful, solutions-focused approach, she helped us build smart, scalable foundations while staying true to our culture.
From implementing a leave tracking system and crafting our first employee handbook to leading employee engagement and talent management efforts, she brought clarity, structure, and care to every project.
What we appreciated most was her openness—always willing to listen, guide, and roll up her sleeves to get things done. She regularly joined our all-staff quarterly meetings, presenting HR updates in a way that felt grounded, relevant, and engaging.
For a growing team like ours, having Julie from flexHR by our side made all the difference. She brought expertise, heart, and practical solutions that helped us navigate growth with confidence."

"We’ve worked with Julie at flexHR in a fractional HR role for nearly a decade and it has been one of our best decisions as a growing company. She provided expert, scalable support without the cost of a full-time hire. She's been an invaluable partner for seoplus + in navigating HR challenges while helping elevate our company to the next level. Her calm, steady guidance has been essential to our growth and success.
She offered timely, thoughtful guidance on everything from complex employee issues to compliance and engagement strategies. As we scaled, she helped us build a strong, people-first culture.
The fractional model gave us senior HR expertise with flexibility. I would recommend Julie at flexHR as a trusted HR advisor for any growing company."

"Julie has worked with Crank Software's team to identify the cultural elements that make Crank unique. She created programs to enforce that culture and has always served as an invaluable sounding board for our staff. She works tirelessly to help fulfill our staffing needs creatively leveraging social sources, job boards and engaging with outside recruiting agencies. We have onboarded and hired more people in the last year with Julie than in the last several years! Julie is also a great listener who has helped staff identify and work through issues, both personal and professional, and done it in a compassionate and professional manner. A true partner for any organization and leadership team whose people are its most valuable asset!"
