Our Testimonials
I am proud to share that I have known and worked with the ACE HR team for many years in several different capacities, and they really are ACES! Caitlin and I have worked closely on several projects and I consider her to be a trusted strategic advisor. We recently reconnected when I suggested we partner with her for several key HR initiatives at the ALS Hope Foundation. The team at ALSHF has been so impressed that she truly took the time to understand our organization and our mission as part of the foundation for her work with us. And, as a result, she was able to successfully recruit and hire for a key role in our organization. Recognizing we are in a period of growth, Caitlin is now helping us to focus on culture, employee development, and strategic workforce planning.

We recently worked with Consult with ACE HR on a delicate termination of a newly hired employee who was clearly not a fit after the very first day. Caitlin provided the HR expertise we needed to handle the separation properly and with care. She guided us through the termination process, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and helping us avoid any potential backlash. Her support didn’t stop there—when the former employee filed for unemployment compensation, Caitlin continued to assist us so we remained fully compliant every step of the way. Consult ACE HR has been an invaluable resource—giving us the benefits of a professional HR department without the daily overhead. We couldn’t recommend them more!
