What People Are Saying

"Working with Lauryn at People First was transformative for our team. At seed stage, we were too small to hire a full-time People leader, but we know having quality HR from the earliest days would help us with retention and growth. She was willing to roll up her sleeves to do all the things we needed from scratch: designing our handbook, compliance needs, parental policies. These can be so complex for a team operating distributed in multiple states, and Lauryn was a transformative partner for us."

  • CEO, Tech Startup

"Brought a wealth of functional HR knowledge and the experience to implement across a fully distributed team. Lauryn provided guidance on compliance, employee support policies, HRIS usage, and more. She was available, timely with responses and project deadlines, helped set us up for success as we scale, and most importantly, was extremely personable and easy to work with"

  • HR Director, Tech Startup

"If you're looking for a dynamic people leader who can independently manage the complexities of running an HR function for a fully distributed, Lauryn is a perfect fit. As Head of Operations at an early stage startup, I depended on Lauryn to run our people operations and am so impressed by her ability to take on any and all work streams that came her including projects such as developing and implementing our Company Handbook and supporting policies, performance management, and HRIS advisory."
