Project-based HR consulting that combines strategic advice with hands-on delivery.

The hardest people challenges rarely have an obvious answer.

Sometimes you know exactly what needs to be built. Other times, you know something isn't working but can't pinpoint why.

It might be a performance process that isn't driving results, a structure that no longer fits the business, or engagement that's starting to slip.

Your team knows it matters, but rarely has the time or specialized expertise to work through it.

We start by getting to the bottom of what's really going on, then advise on the right path forward and build the solution with you, from strategy through to rollout.

What Clients Say

  • “Working with Caitlyn at Origami HR on the development of our career framework was an absolute pleasure. She truly listened to what we needed and understood our goal of keeping the framework simple, practical and easy to use. She did the research, asked the right questions and was always willing to pivot as our needs evolved. She took something that could easily have become complex and made it clear, professional and intuitive, while building the tools and resources we needed for a successful rollout and future use. She was thoughtful, responsive and an absolute delight to work with. I would highly recommend her to any organization looking for a collaborative partner who can turn a complex people initiative into something meaningful and practical.”

    Kerry Lower, Vice President, People & Culture, 3iQ

  • “Working with Caitlyn was such a positive experience. She was easy to work with, organized, detail oriented, and always came prepared for our meetings. I really appreciated how respectful she was of our time, goals, and priorities. She followed through on what she said she would do, kept things moving, and made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. I’m also really excited about the impact this program will have on our employees. It will benefit the organization as a whole, but more importantly, it will open doors for staff who are ready to learn, grow, and take on more senior roles. For some people, opportunities like this may have felt out of reach because of cost, time, or other competing priorities, so I think this course will make a meaningful difference. Thank you, Caitlyn, for all of your hard work, care, and commitment throughout this process. It has been greatly appreciated!”

    Heather McKay, Manager, Clinical Best Practice, Cota Health

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, and that’s where many of our engagements begin. We start by understanding your business, talking with leaders, and looking at what’s already in place. From there, we identify what’s really driving the challenge and recommend where to focus first for the greatest impact.

  • Every project starts with discovery, where we learn how your organization works and what the project needs to solve. From there we develop recommendations, build the work with your input along the way, and support the rollout so it’s put to use.

  • Most consulting engagements are scoped as a fixed-fee project with clear deliverables and timelines, so you know the investment up front. We'll discuss your needs during an introductory call and put together a proposal tailored to your business.

  • Yes! Our work goes beyond recommendations. We build the tools, processes, and communications required and work alongside your team to put them into practice, so the work doesn’t stall or land entirely on your team’s plate.

  • You keep everything we build, along with the guidance needed to maintain it. Many clients continue with ongoing advisory support so they have someone to call as new questions come up.

  • HR consulting is project-based. We take on a defined piece of work, such as an organizational design, a compensation structure or a career framework, and deliver it from start to finish within an agreed scope and timeline. Fractional HR is ongoing support, where we work as part of your team on a regular basis and handle day-to-day people work alongside larger priorities. Some clients start with a project and move into fractional support once it’s complete
