Recruitment is only the beginning..

Finding great people matters.

But once someone joins your business, a completely different set of questions begins.

Phronesis provides businesses and managers with instant, practical HR and employment guidance, 24 hours a day.

Instead of spending hours searching online or waiting until you can speak to an HR professional, managers can simply explain what’s happening and ask Phronesis what they should consider doing next.

From recruitment to confident people management

4Front Recruitment helps businesses find the people they need to grow.

Phronesis helps them manage those people once they’re there.

Together, they address two of the biggest people challenges facing growing businesses:

  • Finding great people.

and

  • Managing them well.

HR support without immediately hiring HR

As businesses grow, managers inevitably encounter more HR questions.

But employing an HR Manager can cost thousands of pounds every month and many SMEs simply aren’t ready to make that investment.

Phronesis provides another option.

It gives managers access to practical HR guidance whenever they need it, helping businesses build management capability without immediately adding another permanent role.
