For Founders Building Their People Function

Intentional hiring and people systems for teams ready to scale

Most founders reach their first real hiring phase without a process, a system, or a clear picture of what needs to be built first. FORMA works with post-seed and early-stage teams to build the people infrastructure that makes hiring intentional, onboarding consistent, and growth sustainable.

PEOPLE OPERATIONS PARTNER

Best for post-seed startups with active open roles who need someone to own the hiring function end-to-end without hiring a full-time TA lead.

What's included:

  • People ops advisory on policies, onboarding, and recruiting infrastructure.

  • Own active searches from kickoff through offer acceptance

  • ATS management and pipeline reporting for leadership

  • Hiring manager coaching and structured interview training

  • Sourcing strategy and equitable evaluation frameworks

  • Full documentation handoff + 30 day check in

Investment: $3,500 / month

Scope: 15-20 hours/month (*3 month minimum commitment)



PEOPLE INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES

Most clients move directly from a Clarity Audit into one of three engagement tracks. Each is scoped, priced, and designed to meet you where you are.

HIRING FOUNDATION BUILD

Best for founders who need the infrastructure built before their next hire — or who have been hiring without a consistent process

  • ATS selection and guided advisement

  • 3–5 job description templates for current or upcoming roles

  • Structured interview process with role-specific scorecards

  • Offer letter framework and compensation conversation guide

  • Onboarding checklist and first-60-days structure

  • Hiring manager briefing on how to use the system and run evaluations
