I have had the pleasure of working with Candice Elliott on a variety of issues impacting the economic health and well-being of Santa Cruz County. Candice provides a sense of total engagement on the issues at hand and it was through these interactions that I reached out to her for HR services.  It is with pleasure that I recommend Candice for  your human resource needs.

We are an established business but in the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic we were unsure how to manage our workforce. In a time when there was so much change and uncertainty with employment Candice was up to date on all the changes and confident about our options to make sure our employees were cared for and our business protected. Her guidance helped us feel comfortable we were making the best decisions in a very chaotic time.

Candice has developed a very smooth process that kept me actively engaged.  Before working together I was scrambling to bring on qualified construction professionals.  After working together I have systems in place that save time, enable me to trust while holding my employees accountable, and let me focus on important things like business development.
