Use of AI: We do not use AI in the screening and interviewing process. A member of our team reads your resume and meets with you.

Most HR roles are about following the manual. At Primary People Group (PPG), we're the ones who write it; from scratch, together with our clients, and always specifically for the person sitting across from us.

We don't just pitch a "solution", we solve the specific, messy problems that keep CEO's up at night, and we create the road map on how to get them where they want to go. Because we're 100% referral-based, we don't walk into a room as "the consultants", we walk in as the people they've been waiting for.

We're still figuring some things out as we grow, but we're building something we're proud of.

• Morning: You're on a Zoom with a founder, translating their vision into a strategy that makes sense to everyone.
• Lunch: You're taking a break to walk the dog or hit the gym because you managed your morning and your clients’ are happy.
• Afternoon: You're diving deep into an AI tool to automate a client's onboarding, then pivoting to draft a high-stakes termination agreement that protects the company while staying human.

You aren't "managing a load." You are running your own mini-practice. You decide how the work gets done, as long as you keep client work central and quality doesn't slip.

• You have a "Refining Eye": You don't just send a policy; you format it, stress-test it, and make sure it sounds like the client's voice, not a legal textbook. You catch details that matter when a CEO is about to present this to their team.
• You're a Chameleon: You can talk shop with a manufacturing floor manager at 9 AM and present a DEI roadmap to a Board of Directors at 2 PM. You read the room, adjust your approach, and meet people where they are. You translate "culture feels off" into concrete, high impact next steps.
• You Hate Micromanagement: You own your work; the project, the relationship, and the delivery.
• You Value Outcomes over Busy: If a client is in a crisis at 6 PM, you're there. If your deliverables are done by 3 PM on a Friday, you're done for the week.

This isn't a "cushy" remote job. The bar is high because our reputation is all we have. You'll have more autonomy than you've ever had, but that comes with total accountability. Your clients' wins are yours; so are their headaches.

• True Flexibility: You manage your schedule. Dentist on Monday? Don't ask, just go. You own your time.
• The Tech Stack: We actually use the AI tools everyone else just talks about. You’ll help shape Demi, our proprietary AI-powered platform.
• No Red Tape: See a better way? Try it. You're the expert; we trust (and expect) you to innovate.
• Professional Development: Conferences, courses, certifications …if it makes you better, we're in. You'll also stretch your skills faster than five years at a traditional company or firm.
• Compensation That Reflects Impact: We pay for excellence. Your bonus is tied to the value you create.

At Primary People Group (PPG), we're not your typical HR consultancy. Nearly all our business comes from referrals, which means when we walk in, it's as trusted partners—not another third-party vendor.

We get deeply ingrained in our clients' businesses. It's common to hear "we can't believe you're not full-time" because we take the time to understand how the business actually works, what outcomes they're trying to achieve, and then build HR strategies that match.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our workplace. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. If you require accommodation during the hiring process, please let us know and we’ll work with you to meet your needs.
