His approach replaces jargon and bloated decks with repeatable workflows that shorten time-to-hire and lower hidden costs.He’s worked hands-on with enterprise programs (Google, Uber, Microsoft) and now brings that rigor to SMBs, connecting strategy to the realities of staffing, coverage, compliance, and capacity. His perspective is calm, data-driven, and relentlessly practical.Why it matters: consultants are often asked to “clean up” people problems without breaking operations. Joel shows how to diagnose the real constraint (often capacity, not “resistance”), sequence change, and make results stick, without burning out the team.**********************************************************************Proposed Interview Structure:1.

Who is your ideal SMB client today (size, hiring velocity, contractor mix), and who usually owns the decision, CEO, Ops, or HR lead?4.

For longer cycles (buy-in, procurement, and change fatigue), what proof points or quick wins move deals forward without discounting?6. Once you’re in, how do you ensure consistency, what cadences, dashboards, or SOPs keep hiring/onboarding and vendor compliance on track?7.
