Sheree Knowles is the visionary behind the HRKS legacy. She recognized that small to mid-sized companies deserved high-quality fractional human resources solutions.
“I’ve loved being part of the genesis of HR, from sitting outside the door to actually being at the board room table. In recent years, we have moved well away from being simply the “HR principal” to a genuine partner in a business where we add value, acting as an integral part of a business’ success strategy. Our work at HRKS adds to your business and there is obvious ROI when you invest in us.”
