CareersHow we work, and who we hire

We built the firm we couldn’t hire.

HR infrastructure built and run by people who held the job first.

Why this exists

~45 dayskickoff to go-live

Somewhere between twenty-five and two hundred and fifty people, every company hits the same week. The spreadsheet stops working. The board asks for a headcount number, and four systems answer it differently.

The instinct is to buy something. But the platform is the smaller half. The larger half is deciding how the company works before anyone configures anything – who approves what, which number is the real one. That decision is architecture, and most companies make it by accident.

We make it on purpose, build it, and stay to run it. We’re not a reseller, and our fee is the same whichever platform you land on.

From the founder

Most HR systems are held together by one person who hasn’t quit yet.

Jesse Ajebon, founder of People Street

For five years at a law firm, I was that person.

I built it in a building full of lawyers – people paid for a living to find the hole in your documentation. A system you can’t explain is a system nobody trusts, so I learned to build ones that survive being read closely.

That’s what we do now. We know the compliance exposure sitting behind a configuration choice, and how to build the system that closes it.

The team

Small on purpose. Senior where it counts.

Every engagement is staffed by people whose names you will know. There is no junior bench doing the configuration while a partner attends the calls.

How we work

Four things we believe.

Configuration is a design decision

Most HR systems are not badly built. They are built once, by whoever was free that quarter, against requirements nobody wrote down. We design before we configure, and write down why.

The work does not end at go-live

Systems drift the moment they meet reality. A build without a cadence has an expiry date.

Quote it, in writing, up front

Our starting numbers are public. After the first call the quote comes in writing, and no fee moves once the work begins.

Say the unwelcome thing early

If the platform you want is wrong for you, or you do not need us yet, that is the first conversation, not the fourth.
