Strategic HR Consulting

HR that moves
at the speed
of your fintech.

We embed strategic HR thinking into high-growth companies that can't afford to slow down — from talent architecture to executive alignment.

What we do

Three ways we work
with your team

From fractional HR leadership to full strategic partnership — we meet you where you are.

01

Strategic HR Partnership for Fintechs

An embedded senior HR partner who understands your business model, your investors, and your people challenges — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

02

CEO Advisory

Confidential, direct advisory for founders and CEOs navigating leadership team dynamics, organizational design, and people strategy at scale.

03

HR as a Service

Fully outsourced HR operations for early-stage companies — recruitment, onboarding, compliance, culture foundations — done right from day one.

Client stories

What it looks like
in practice

Two examples of what happens when a fintech commits to getting HR right from the start.

Fintech · Istanbul

Finekra

200%
workforce growth in 2 years

The situation

Finekra was scaling fast with no HR infrastructure in place — no performance system, no defined roles, no structured onboarding. The co-founders were making every people decision alone.

What we built

Full org design — job descriptions, competency frameworks, org chart and benchmarking
Performance system and structured recruitment process built from scratch
HR information system implemented
Co-founder coaching and coaching for key employees
Two company-wide Future Workshops — 25+ actionable ideas, one taken to full execution

A fintech that doubled its team without losing its culture — because the people infrastructure was already there.

Digital Bank · Turkey

Colendibank

3 → 55+
employees & regulatory approval

The situation

Colendibank was a pre-launch digital bank with 3 employees and no HR function — facing a full banking regulator review. Everything needed to be built before the bank could operate.

What we did

Joined as the 3rd employee and interim People & Culture Director, leading a team of HR Manager and HR Specialist
Built the full HR infrastructure: payroll, recruitment, onboarding, compensation & benefits, job grades
Established employer brand presence and talent pipeline on LinkedIn
Prepared and passed the full banking regulatory HR audit

From 3 people and a blank page to a fully operational bank with 55+ employees — and a clean regulatory pass.

People strategy is
business strategy

The data is unambiguous. Companies that invest in strategic HR consistently outperform those that don't.

21%

higher profitability in companies with highly engaged employees

70%

more likely to capture new markets with diverse, well-led teams

5%

of executives believe they invest enough in their people's development

Senior HR leadership,
without the overhead

TT & HR Partners was built on a simple observation: the companies that need great HR the most — fast-growing fintechs and tech startups — are the ones least able to afford a senior HR leader full-time.

We bring 15+ years of banking, fintech, and startup HR experience directly into your leadership team, for as long as you need it.
