About Us

Most small business owners don't think about HR until something's already gone wrong — a bad hire, a termination handled the wrong way, an employee complaint nobody knew how to respond to. By then, it's not a "someday" problem anymore; it's a today problem.
I'm Ian Olson, and I started Tailored HR because that gap — between "I need HR help" and "I can justify a full-time HR hire" — is where most small businesses live for years. You're too big to wing it, too small (or too smart with your budget) to bring someone on full-time.
I step in as your HR and recruiting function — not a portal, not a call center, not a rotating cast of account reps. Just me, backed by 25+ years doing this work inside real companies across tech, real estate, retail, accounting, and gaming. I help you make the hires that actually move your business forward, and I put the right guardrails in place so a compliance issue doesn't turn into a lawsuit or a wage claim you didn't see coming.
If you're growing and don't have HR support yet — or you do, and it's not working the way it should — let's talk. I'd rather be the call you make before something breaks than the fix you need after.
