Human Capital Consulting

Moss Adams consultants can assist you with all elements of your organization’s most important asset—your people.

From development of organizational structure, identification of required positions, determination of required skills, experience, and background and recruiting just the right individual, you can rely on Moss Adams human capital consultants to guide you through the process.

We help management to define the optimal organizational structure, roles and responsibilities; design effective performance feedback systems; and build strong teams and effective leaders.

Organizational Structuring

Our consultants can lead you through the process of structuring the organization so that you can take advantage of your staff’s highest and best use by:

  • Defining the optimal organizational structure
  • Determining roles and responsibilities
  • Ensuring appropriate span of control and chain of command
  • Identifying appropriate reporting relationships

Position Development

The success of an organizational structure is of course heavily reliant on the positions that are defined within that structure. Moss Adams human capital consultants can:

  • Define the positions required within the organization
  • Determine specific responsibilities of each position
  • Identify education, skills, and experience required
  • Establishing reporting relationships

Executive and Staff Recruitment

Since employee performance is directly connected to the ultimate success of an organization, we believe employee selection should include creation of clear and realistic performance standards and goals that are aligned with the organization’s objectives. Individuals who meet or exceed these standards can contribute directly to the achievement and prosperity of the entire entity. While our consultants contribute experience and extensive knowledge of recruitment activities, at the same time we recognize that your management team needs to be the ultimate decision-maker. We ask questions to clearly identify the needs of the organization with regard to the position, and listen actively to issues affecting those needs, thereby gaining a clear understanding of the skills, abilities, traits, and character of the desired individual. We can then:

  • Develop job postings
  • Market the position (print ads, journals, Web resources, networking)
  • Review resumes
  • Conduct preliminary interviews
  • Perform background checks
  • Assist with salary negotiation

Compensation Benchmarking

We are often asked by our clients to provide benchmark information on compensation and benefits best practices. Regardless of your industry, you want assurance that the compensation and benefits you provide to your employees are comparable or better than those offered industry-wide.

Designing a fair and attractive compensation program requires an understanding of available data and how to apply it. Moss Adams’ human capital consultants can help you:

  • Utilize the most accurate benchmarking methods available
  • Access the best salary surveys that are appropriate for the positions: right job, right geographic area, right organization size, etc.
  • Implement best practices for aligning market data with job size
