Working with Circle Strategies has been a fantastic experience. We faced a complex employee benefit issue with significant implications for employee relations. Circle Strategies thoroughly researched the benefit rule and provided detailed, comprehensive documentation. They also guided us in crafting clear and effective communications to share with our employees, which significantly reduced potential employee relations challenges.

I first worked with Circle Strategies when I ran a small e-commerce company and quickly came to rely on their practical, clear-eyed HR expertise. A few years later, when I stepped in to run a nonprofit with outdated systems and no real HR infrastructure, I knew I needed them back. They understand the realities of small organizations and help solve tough problems with empathy and precision. Their team is responsive, smart, and genuinely invested in helping you get it right.

We needed help with a tricky employee relations issue, and our attorney recommended Circle Strategies. Rebecca Fishbein stepped in to work with our team, and she was fantastic. She handled one- on-one conversations with professionalism and really put people at ease. The feedback from the team was great, and things have improved so much since then. We’re really grateful for her support!

I’ve worked directly with Clifford Watkin to strengthen both our internal and global firm processes. Knowing that I can reach out to Cliff or anyone on the CS staff with my questions has had a really positive impact on my own work success.

Clifford Watkin and his team have helped us with Job Descriptions, Onboarding Processes, and Recruiting, and we find them to be very helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Clifford is very good, easy to talk to and has a way to let you know what needs to be done without going overboard. It’s been a pleasure working with him.

Having Circle Strategies recommended to us was a godsend! As a small growing company, we do not have our own HR department yet, so having experts like those at Circle Strategies to call on when we need help has been extraordinarily helpful for our company- both for general HR questions and for sensitive HR related issues. They have ensured we are compliant, organized and inclusive. We are so grateful to have Circle Strategies as our HR consultants.

We put our trust in Circle Strategies to help establish our Hudson, NH location. From the UK, they were our boots on the ground - meeting with vendors, interviewing candidates, setting up payroll - the list goes on and on. It was such a relief to know they could deliver on time.

When I joined the ALPHA Coaching and Mentoring Program, I didn’t really know what to expect. Clifford was assigned as my mentor and really helped me think through a major career moment. Not only did he provide a warm and welcoming environment, but he was always ready to provide tangible resources. I feel truly honored that I was matched with Clifford and am really excited for his future mentees.
