Our services

Four pillars that cover everything a growing business needs

Take one pillar or all four. Either way you get senior HR people, not a helpdesk ticket.

01

Compliance & employee relations

Highest need

Usually the biggest pain point — owners know enough to realise they could get themselves into trouble. We take it off the table.

  • Employment law compliance (UK & US)
  • Employee handbooks and contracts
  • HR policies and procedures
  • Performance management
  • Employee investigations
  • Terminations and exits
  • Leave administration (FMLA, ADA, statutory leave)
  • Harassment prevention
02

Recruiting & hiring

Most small businesses struggle to find and keep talent. We build the process that fixes it.

  • Job descriptions
  • Recruiting
  • Interview process development
  • Candidate screening
  • Hiring manager training
  • Offer letter creation
  • Onboarding
03

Payroll, benefits & HR administration

Business owners spend far too much time on administrative work. We run it properly, in the background.

  • Payroll administration
  • Benefits management
  • Open enrolment
  • New hire paperwork
  • HRIS implementation
  • Employee recordkeeping
04

Leadership development & retention

Once a company reaches 50–100 employees, retention becomes a major concern. We get ahead of it.

  • Supervisor training
  • Leadership development
  • Employee engagement surveys
  • Retention strategies
  • Succession planning
  • Culture development
  • Conflict resolution

Our approach

The experienced core your business gets built around

Cadre traces back to the Latin quadrum — a square, a frame. It came to mean the trained, permanent core an organisation is built around. That’s exactly what we are. Every business needs a cadre; we’re yours.

Senior people, from day one

You work with the experienced nucleus, not a junior account manager working off a script.

Both sides of the Atlantic

UK employment law and US federal and state compliance under one team — useful the moment you hire abroad.

Plugged in, not bolted on

We work as your HR function: your managers, your systems, your tone of voice.

Direct answers

Professional without being cold. You get a clear recommendation, not a policy document to interpret.

The team

A senior team — by design

You deal with the people whose names are on the door, not a rotating account manager.

Samuel Trout

Founder & Head of Sales

Founded Cadre to give growing businesses the senior HR core they can't yet justify hiring in-house.

Ben Gallacher

Director of Operations & Growth

Runs delivery across both markets — the systems, processes and rhythm behind every client engagement.

Joseph Mott

Head of HR

Leads the HR practice: compliance, employee relations and the judgement calls that need experience.

Offices

Offices in the United Kingdom and the United States

One team across two markets, so transatlantic hiring, compliance and payroll stay joined up.

United Kingdom

UK employment law, statutory leave, contracts and handbooks, TUPE, tribunal risk and payroll.

Get in touch
