What a few of our clients have said...

UpLevel HR helped us lead our HR operations, helping us build our start-up from a $1m to a $5m organization in just 18 months.  Debra is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, diligent, and a professional leader in the space and we could not recommend her enough.  

R. Shafer-Ray, Co-Founder & COO, Lead For America

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with and learn from Debra Hope.  She guided me through the entire process of transitioning from solo entrepreneur to employer. So many of the HR requirements and best practices were confusing and overwhelming to me, including the complexities of hiring two remote employees living in different states. Debra gave me the advice and confidence I needed to see the project all the way through. No question or detail was too big or too small for her to handle -- she's seen and done it all.

With the strong foundation that Debra helped me build (including proper business registrations, job descriptions, management training, a comprehensive employee handbook, etc.) I feel prepared to continue building my business and adding new team members in the future. If you need a trusted HR expert to support your business or non-profit organization, I strongly recommend adding Debra to your team. 

R. Cahill, Owner, Rachel Cahill Consulting

I had the pleasure of working with Debra to assess our current HR policy and procedures in an effort to make sure they were brought up to best practices standards. We have also worked closely together to update one current position and the creation of a new position being added to our staff. Throughout, I was impressed by the gentle and professional way Debra guided me through this process. What I thought would be an overwhelming and complicated task, because of the simultaneous new hire search, was made manageable by Debra's skill and experience.   

D. Bonavita, Executive Director, Note in the Pocket

K. Roser, Owner, Kristin + Co Organizing

UpLevel HR helped us create a new employee handbook that works for our business and follows all state and federal guidelines.  They also has helped us with our hiring process and ongoing, effective employee management.  Debra is a master in HR and is always a pleasure to work with.  

J. Kowaleski, CEO, Azura

Debra was instrumental in walking me through an organizational restructure. She worked with me to develop a comprehensive plan to better meet our current needs and plan for future development. She guided me through the process, from concept to implementation. Debra's attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond, and positive attitude made this project a complete success.   

M. Roberts, Executive Director, The Healing Center

Debra has a knack for asking great questions that quickly get to the heart of almost every HR related issue. She has been been my “go to person” and has provided me with action plans that have created positive results. Whether for profit or non-profit, her wisdom is invaluable to any organization.
