Recruitment

Welcome to HR Surgery

We are a one-stop solution for all your HR needs – providing strategic, operational, and tactical support to businesses across the UK. As an ‘outsourced HR business partner,’ we go beyond simply solving employment issues. Our ultimate aim is to add value to our clients, helping them to achieve their commercial goals through engaging their people effectively.

Founded in 2009 by Liz, HR Surgery was built on her extensive experience with blue-chip corporations. Her vision was to bring the same level of HR expertise traditionally reserved for large companies to small and medium-sized businesses, offering them tailored solutions without the need for an in-house HR team.

Since then, we’ve grown steadily, with more and more companies seeking our support – ranging from employment advice to complex cases and large-scale HR projects.

In 2022 Liz’s husband, Lloyd, joined as Business Development Director, strengthening our strategic and marketing capabilities as we evolve and grow. Together, we remain committed to providing the highest quality HR support to help our clients’ businesses thrive.

Mission Statement

Our mission is simple:

We’re dedicated to helping our clients’ businesses thrive by ensuring their people processes, systems, and workplace culture are designed for success, operate seamlessly, and deliver tangible value.

As we continue to grow, we’re committed to maintaining the ‘boutique’ feel of our consultancy, with our core values at the heart of everything we do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Let’s face it, who likes dealing with Human Resources. I don’t, but at times one needs help. HR Surgery have a team of Consultants all of whom are fantastic. Their advice is timely, clear and to the point. Thankfully they have a good sense of humour as well. They prepare the documents, explain what order to do things, what to say, and what not to say 🫣. Sadly I’ll probably have to call on their services again but I know they’ll be there to get a fair outcome for all and everyone is happy. They offer flexible payment solutions and just make things easy. 💥. Big thanks Matt

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Liz’s team at the HR surgery for a number of years, utilising a range of services for our small business (approx 10 employees). We have used their recruitment service to support candidate screening and interviewing to successfully fill two roles. We have used their specialist led HR consultancy services to support with policy and process development, as well as for advice on employee relations matters. I have found the team to always be commercially aware and responsive. They have got to know our business well to allow them to provide tailored advice and guidance. Where we have needed more specific support the HR surgery have been excellent in connecting us with subject specialists. I would highly recommend HR surgery to other SME owners.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great refresher management training course. The content was useful and relevant, and it was delivered in a relaxed, engaging, and entertaining way, which made it really enjoyable. I came away with practical reminders and insights, and I’m looking forward to completing the rest of the course series.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On behalf of The Concierge Department at One Traveller - we found the Soft Sales Training to be incredibly useful and informative. The training was completely tailored to our business needs, therefore we could identify with the pointers and training much more effectively. The team are utilising the pointers with their daily calls and they feel more confident in leading the conversations. We cant wait for the next one! Many thanks Jo

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have used the HR surgery for many years and find them ideal for a medium sized business that would find it difficult to justify an internal cost centre with their sort of expertise. Great advice on the occasions we have needed their services and not afraid to keep my emotions in check with good firm and constructive advice. Also keep us bang up to date with the latest employment law details.
