Over a decade of proven experience. HRSC was founded in 2011 and specialises in HR consultancy, giving us more than a decade of hands-on track record. We support thousands of UK companies, including a significant client base across Wales.

Dedicated Cardiff / Caerdydd-focused HR advisers. Your company is matched with advisers who track the local market, such as wage expectations, employment culture and cost-of-living pressures throughout Cardiff / Caerdydd and the South Glamorgan economy.

Industry expertise across Cardiff / Caerdydd's key sectors. We run with sector-specialist desks for financial services, tech, retail, hospitality and expert services. Financial firms face intense compliance scrutiny. Tech startups need agile reward structures. Hospitality businesses juggle shift work, tips and flexible hours.

Insurance-backed tribunal protection. Our HR Protect package includes tribunal indemnity insurance covering legal costs and compensatory awards, provided you follow adviser guidance.
