As the CEO of a small, yet fast growing, company I've got a lot on my plate, so it is reassuring to have Steve from StartUpHumanResources just a phone call away to help when our people related matters need some expertise. Steve does an incredible job guiding and helping me to diffuse and think through critical situations. And he always does so in a level headed but still caring way.
