We recently engaged CCG to look after our HR, and we've been impressed from the start. The entire team have been knowledgeable, professional and approachable. They take time to understand how our business works and give practical advice we can act on. Thanks to them and the wider CCG team for making the transition so easy. Highly recommended. I can't imagine NOT having them around.

Cornerstone Consulting Group (or CCG as we refer to them in the office), have supported us with general HR, recruitment and some training. It's easy to forget to dot the I’s and cross the T's with recruitment and performance management, but they drive the processes and policies that keep us on track. They have held us to a high standard and supported delivery. The team are responsive, thoughtful, considered and knowledgeable. As a result, CCG have become a trusted partner.

I couldn’t recommend Cornerstone Consulting Group more highly. Riley and Jasmine have been an incredible support to me and my business. They have consistently gone above and beyond in the support they’ve provided. They have taken the time to genuinely understand my business, my team and where I’m trying to go. Their guidance has helped me navigate not only people and HR decisions, but also think more clearly about growth, planning and the bigger picture of running a business. What I value most is having Riley and Jasmine as trusted sounding boards. They are approachable, practical and incredibly generous with their knowledge, while also being willing to challenge my thinking and offer a different perspective when I need it. They truly feel like an extension of my team. I’m very grateful for their support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cornerstone to any business owner looking for exceptional HR guidance from people who genuinely care about the businesses they work with.

I needed help with obtaining a contract for my own employee and also HR help for one of my current clients. These people are awesome - quick and efficient turn around and very commercial. Dealing with a HR expert has been a much more streamlined, efficient and smoother experience then trying to work directly with a commercial lawyer. If you need anything HR related go straight to Cornerstone.

Working with Cornerstone Consulting Group has genuinely been one of the best decisions we've made. Over the past two years, Grace and the team have helped us completely transform our HR and WHS systems. They've guided us through policy reviews, ISO requirements, workplace compliance, recruitment, employment matters, and more, always making what feels overwhelming seem manageable. What stands out most is that they never treat us like just another client. They take the time to understand our business, explain things in plain English, and provide practical advice that actually works in the real world. Their support has given me the confidence to tackle projects I never thought I'd be leading. Grace has been patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Knowing we have Cornerstone in our corner gives our team real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cornerstone Consulting Group to any business looking for professional, approachable HR and WHS support. Thank you for everything you've helped us achieve.

Excellent HR consulting service! Rebecca took the time to understand our business and delivered practical, strategic advice that made a real difference. She takes full ownership of every situation and never feel like an external consultant, more like a trusted part of our team. Professional, responsive, and genuinely focused on results.

We have been using CCG for almost a year, and have been impressed by the level of expertise, responsiveness and ability to support our national business units across a variety of HR matters from contracts, IR, staff performance, processes, policies and culture. In particular, Grace at CCG has been a pleasure to work with and is highly responsive and flexible to meet our operational requirements and is always willing to listen and then provide tailored and measured advice. This is the first time we have utilised external HR services, moving away from having inhouse and would highly recommend the option of utilising an independent external HR service.

We engaged Jasmine to assist with our recruitment needs and to review of some of our HR processes. Her professional experience allowed us to find positive outcomes for both employer and team members.
Our work in practice

Practical support. Real examples.

Examples of work delivered by CCG. Details are kept anonymous to protect client confidentiality.

Making performance reviews easier to run

The need
A professional-services firm wanted support coordinating its performance reviews and keeping employee check-ins moving alongside everyday client work.

Our work
CCG set up the review process, updated reviewers and review periods, followed up outstanding reviews, and reviewed the feedback received. We also supported probation milestones and prepared manager reminders for employee check-ins.

What was delivered
The firm had a coordinated review process, documented employee feedback and practical follow-up to support conversations between managers and their teams.

Make reviews part of the way you work

In a firm built around client deadlines, probation check-ins and performance reviews can slip. Different managers may also take different approaches to feedback.

We help define who is involved, prepare the documents and coordinate review milestones. Managers receive practical support to prepare the conversation, record feedback and follow up agreed actions.

Keep role clarity as your firm grows

A growing professional services team can need clearer responsibilities across technical staff, administration and leaders. Existing position descriptions and employment documents may no longer reflect the work.

We can review those foundations with you, support onboarding and prepare managers for changes in roles or working arrangements. We start with your actual structure and priorities.

Choose the amount of HR support you need

You can outsource your ongoing HR support to CCG, get hourly advice on an immediate issue, or agree a defined project such as a policy review. Our typical clients have around 10–150 employees.

If you already have an HR professional or team, HR Team Extension can provide extra capacity alongside them. We clarify responsibilities, scope and fees before work starts.

Common questions

Getting the right HR support.

Which professional services firms can you support?

We work with professional services businesses that need practical employment and people-management support. Tell us how your firm is structured and what you need; we will discuss whether the work is a good fit.

Can you coordinate reviews as well as prepare templates?

Yes. We can help establish the review process, organise reviewer responsibilities and milestones, follow up outstanding steps, and support managers with feedback conversations. We agree the work and responsibilities upfront.

Do we need an ongoing retainer?

No. You can start with hourly advice or a defined project. If ongoing outsourced HR is appropriate, we will explain the scope and retainer terms before you decide.
