Alex Cardona
CEO, OneShare Health
Since OneShare Health partnered with PEOPLEfirst to strategize about Retention and Talent, Alex has been very involved with the HR Department and Executive Team to better understand the needs of the organization and develop strategic plans to drive success. They've been able to accomplish quite a lot in a short amount of time. The immense impact has definitely brought value to our organization and we continue to see it improve our ability to grow and maintain our great culture. We are extremely impressed with Alex’s professionalism, quality and moreover, the commitment displayed for the betterment of OneShare Health and I highly recommend her for consulting services.

PEOPLEfirst is truly a full-stack HR firm. Not only did they help us with recruiting, they also helped us beef up our HR documentation, re-write our employee handbook, conducted multiple (very engaging) DEI trainings, and introduced us to their signature culture game - Cards For Culture. You wouldn't think that you can play a "Cards Against Humanity" style game in a professional manner, but this game does it in a way that is actually engaging and doesn't feel like fluff. It even helped us reform our core values, which we didn't even realize needed to be reformed until we played the game! I can't recommend this team highly enough - they are experts in all things HR, and even better as human beings.

Alex helped me secure a new position in
less than half the time
it takes, on an average basis, for a person to find a new job.
Alex was instrumental during the time I found myself looking for a new position. I've had other job placement and headhunters’ support in the past, but Alex is in a league of her own. Through her vast experience in HR she leverages her network and scans for available opportunities. Of those that are a good fit, she helps candidates pass the filters and get the interviews. Finally, she works on preparing you for these conversations to ensure you bring your ‘A game’. Once in the role, we have periodical check ups to make sure things roll smoothly.
The whole ‘end-to-end’ process: No topic is alien to her, from resume development and filtering, job fit, negotiation, career development, etc. She is truly the definition of a job coach.
Valerie Wavrusa
HR Director, OneShare Health
Understanding the organization is imperative when supporting key stakeholders and Alex’s big picture thinking has earned the respect of OneShare Health. She made herself available for any questions and/or concerns, which was important for a fast growing environment. She has been a huge asset to our HR team as we grew from 2 to 7 in the last 8mos, and the company itself grew from 120 to approximately 300 people. Her ability to work quickly and keep our projects or strategic plans on track has allowed us to accomplish huge goals and implement big changes within the organization in a fraction of the time. We would definitely recommend using Alex and PEOPLEfirst for your talent and retention needs!
