"I have found Next Level's assistance invaluable. As a small organization we don't have a dedicated HR group, so I've turned to NLS frequently for help and advice. Frankly, even if we did I would likely seek out the counsel of the professionals at NLS. Most of our work has been with Terry Hill, who is the definition of an intelligent and seasoned professional. I've come to count on his wisdom and excellent advice. I highly recommend NLS."
"Our company started using Next Level Strategies 8 years ago, after realizing we needed some HR help. Our office wasn’t big enough for a full time HR employee, but we were running into staff issues that we didn’t know how to handle confidently. We first approached Next Level Strategies with a delicate employee situation, and they expertly guided us through the entire process, ensuring that we handled things both fairly and in such a manner that our company wasn’t put at risk. After this experience we knew NLS was a keeper. We have since used them to source all our new hires, with all of them resulting in long term, key employees. Having NLS a phone call/email away takes a big stressor off of us as a company because we know that we have trusted professionals that we can turn to with any internal issue, big or small."
"Finishing up a six month leadership development program working with Venus and I couldn't have had a better experience. She does a great job balancing personal and business/career development; I would recommend working with her to anyone!"
"Being the CEO of a boutique airport concessionaire of 27 locations, I found myself in need of HR Consulting assistance in 2022 to hire some key positions, review and update our employee handbook and provide ongoing HR guidance & support to our team. I was introduced to the NLS CEO, Julie Chendes who couldn't have been more professional and within days was connected with Katie O'Donnell who became our ongoing consultant. Katie immediately became invaluable to myself & our team - openly available to offer sound, trusted legal & HR support and we utilized her services for over two years. We have recently been acquired by a larger company who has their own in-house legal & HR teams, otherwise we would be continuing to utilize the services of NLS indefinitely. Words cannot express our immense gratitude for their genuine partnership, professionalism and expertise."
"I run three restaurants in the Bay Area and have used Next Level Strategies for years for our HR needs. Julie and her team are very thorough and track all relevant legislation and related compliance issues. As a business owner, it's incredibly helpful to know that all of our HR documents are up to date and compliant."

So professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend Next Level Strategies for your recruitment needs!"

They are not only highly professional but also a joy to collaborate with, bringing a positive and proactive attitude to every interaction.

"My time spent working with coach Venus was so valuable to help me identify areas of strength and develop areas that needed some focus. The coaching sessions allowed me to keep my focus on altering the lens I view the world through and use improved skills to be a better and more effective team member and person. The added benefit of group coaching sessions provided opportunity to connect with colleagues outside my day to day team and develop new friendships while we learned together. Although his representation is not inexpensive, the value of sticking to principles in the pursuit of a mutually agreeable solution cannot be underestimated. Where Atty. Whiting shines is in the negotiation process. He is forward-thinking and pays much attention to every detail. The ability to think "out of the box" and quickly, is his forte. Because he is so experienced, he is able to assess and propose alternative solutions at every level of negotiation in order to keep the process moving to achieve final closure. Atty. Whiting will stand by you, and, therefore, I highly recommend his services."
"I have worked with Next Level Strategies for several years, and they have guided me though many complicated scenarios with HR issues. Next Level has a high level understanding of the most nuanced situations, and I have full confidence in their ability to guide us throughout each of them. They have always helped protect the best interests of my business and I give them my highest recommendation."
"As a business owner, I used to think HR was just a necessary evil - a box to check off, not a strategic lever to pull. Boy was I wrong. Hiring NLS, and specifically working with Taune Lima and Eva Welles Rodrigues, has been a complete revelation. These HR pros didn't just help me put together a standard employee handbook. No, they created a document that's clear, actionable, and actually resonates with my team. It sets the right expectations and boundaries, but in a way that feels human, not bureaucratic. But the real magic happens in my regular check-ins with Taune. She has this uncanny ability to listen, empathize, and then respond with precisely the right advice. Her wealth of experience means she's seen it all, from petty squabbles to major personnel crises. And she always knows exactly how to steer me in the right direction.What I love most about Taune is her belief that HR is fundamentally about people, not just processes. She's helped me understand that good HR isn't about eliminating all risk and conflict - it's about empowering my team to communicate better, resolve issues on their own, and build a thriving, connected culture. In the end, working with NLS has been transformative, not just for my business, but for me personally. Taune has helped me become a better listener, a more empathetic leader, and frankly, a better wife and mother. I give NLS my highest recommendation for any business owner serious about leveling up their HR game."
