The strategic HR Advisory & Human Systems AI™ partner your business needs.

HR strategy, AI in HR, and operational clarity - delivered through expert consultancy and tailored solutions.

— THE PROBLEM —

You're good at what you do. People systems are a different story.

Many founders hit 15 people and think they have a leadership problem. They don't. They have a structure problem. From the inside, they look identical.

Decisions that used to be automatic now take three meetings. The team that ran on shared intuition now needs things written down. That is not you losing your touch. That is a growing business asking for things it never needed before.

The gap between knowing something's off and knowing what to fix first is exactly where ElleTree HR Consulting works.

Decisions feel slower and more complicated than they used to
You're managing people but nobody prepared you for it
AI in HR feels promising, but you're not sure where to start
You can't quite identify what's causing the people friction
You've outgrown informal HR but aren't ready for a full-time hire

— THE MIND BEHIND ELLETREE —

Michelle Tilley, founder of ElleTree HR Consulting, strategic HR advisor and AI for HR specialist.

Built for founders who care about their people.

I work with founders and leadership teams who are growing faster than their people systems can keep up with. The surface symptoms vary: decision bottlenecks, managers facing burnout, hiring processes that produce the wrong shortlist, or a new AI in HR tool that nobody quite knows how to use responsibly.

The root cause is usually the same. The organisational infrastructure hasn't kept pace with the stage of growth. Through strategic HR consulting, people systems design, and Human Systems AI™, I bring calm, commercial thinking into the same room.

I help you build the foundations your next stage of growth actually needs, keeping humans firmly in charge of the decisions that matter.

Three ways to work together.

01 — Strategic HR Advisory & Fractional HR

A retained thinking partnership for founders who need calm, experienced HR leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. We offer fractional HR services that include HR strategy, structure, and steady guidance as you grow, including working alongside your leaders and managers to navigate difficult conversations, team dynamics, and responsibilities that nobody prepared them for. Kindness and accountability, working together.

02 — People Systems Design & Build

Onboarding, performance frameworks, role clarity, policies and handbooks. Building HR and AI in HR foundations your next stage actually needs — so growth doesn't snap something important.

03 — Human Systems AI™

Introducing AI into your people systems responsibly, ethically, and with a bias-aware lens. Design the human workflow first. Then layer in practical AI in HR tools that support judgement — and never replace it.

Credentials earned in the field

CPHR, SHRM-CP, and Chartered MCIPD span three countries — Canada, the US, and the UK. Combined with hands-on experience actually working in all three, and a Certified AI for HR Specialist designation, it's a depth of practical expertise that is genuinely rare internationally.

Human-first AI — not a tagline

Most consultants talk about AI in HR. Michelle builds it. Human Systems AI™ is a proprietary methodology for designing ethical, bias-aware people tools. The ElleTree ROOTS Method™ underpins how everything is built. Real humans make every decision. Always.

Integrated thinking, not siloed advice

Most businesses get advice from people who only see part of the picture. ElleTree HR Consulting connects people, systems, and commercial outcomes in the same conversation — the kind of integrated thinking usually reserved for businesses with a full executive team.
